[Modified] Lower Body Workout

I feel like I’ve been moaning about it for about a billion years, but my foot-related woes continue. I’ve been trying to still fit in some ab and arms workouts, but I have been avoiding most lower body workouts since they tend to put a bit too much pressure on my foot.

I have come up with a modified lower body workout to get around my frustration of not being able to do much of anything with my sore foot, try it out!!
