I used to do nothing at all when I was injured in fear of hurting or sustaining my injury even further. While this might be true to a degree, resting the injured part of your body and doing some kind of activity CAN be beneficial. I've noticed that it can even speed up the recovery. Great information.

I asked runners and other fitness buffs for advice, and I consulted the Internet. I was able to find a number of alternatives: swimming, running in the pool, exercise bike, etc. Don't be afraid to ask what you can do. And, as the article noted, use the time to evaluate what went wrong. I realize now that I need much more flexibility, so I've been focusing on stretching.

Now that the free motivation is gone, I try to do some extra workouts to strenghthen areas around my knees and ankles (where I get hurt the most). It may seem silly, but I actually work out harder and longer knowing that it may prevent me from getting hurt.

As well, there is research that shows that for people with an immobilized limb (broken arm in a cast), training the 'good' limb can actually affect the injured one.
