What kind of cardio exercise can I do that does not use the lower body?



I'm getting foot surgery done on the 22nd of this month and after that I won't be able to do exercises that use the legs or the feet (i.e. running, biking, ball sports). I'm trying to lose weight, however, so I need to find a new exercise that burns a lot of calories.

Will strength conditioning burn as many calories as cardio?

That is a tough one!

One of the reasons why cardio burns so many calories is because the legs are a huge muscle group. Using them for cardio pushes your heart rate into the aerobic zone.

Strength conditioning (high reps, low sets) will raise your heart rate, but not enough to be considered cardio.
wimming: Swimming is a perfect exercise for the entire body and improves your cardiovascular fitness. It is beneficial to the people suffering from joint pains since water provides support and natural resistance to your body. Swim with different strokes to exercise different muscles. This will maintain balance in your workout. It is a great exercise that allows you to reach your ideal target heart rate very fast.

Elliptical Exercise: Exercising on an elliptical exerciser is another great cardio exercise. It offers full body workout and greatly enhances cardiovascular fitness. Your motions on the elliptical exerciser are similar to your normal body movements. It reduces the stress and heavy impact on you muscles and joints, thus making your workout safer.
