Medically mandated week off from swimming... tips?

Hey all, Have to have a skin cancer removed (nothing serious--basal cell) tomorrow, and the doctor says no swimming for a week. He says running is okay, though, which I plan to do. But I'm wondering if you have other tips on dryland stuff I can do in the meantime. The affected area is my arm, but I don't see that as a huge problem--though the doctor might restrict weight/strength training involving arm movements. Have to check w/ him about that. What are your thoughts on this? I'm fortunate in that I enjoy running, so at least I won't be totally driven batty by the week lay-off. Thanks for your suggestions!

  • Thanks for your thoughts! With the recent snowstorm, bike riding doesn't much appeal to me, although I may well do a spin class. Yoga is something I definitely should get back to, and thanks for the yoga for swimmers idea! Also looking at TRX. Started doing class in that, and it's merciless! :) Anyone do body pump? Wondering about that too. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk
