Is this ok to do?
Sorry for all the questions.
When I workout I will take a mini break, because my ankle can't tolerate going 2 hours straight non stop cardio and being on my feet. After about 45 mins- 1 hr I will rest my ankle. Doing that really helps, my ankle won't give out on me. Plus, I can't push it too hard or I will put way too much strain on it and I will have to have it fused sooner rather than later. I have severe arthritis and 2 of the bones are rubbing together, those bones need fused together and then I lose all movement in my ankle. So, I am trying not to push it too hard. Is it ok to take a mini break or is it a bad idea? Oh, the break is about 5 mins.
On that note, I have burned over 600 calories today, yay!!

Thanks everyone! I just wanted to make sure breaks are ok. I worry about getting my heart rate up so much and then cooling down. I am proud of myself for getting well over 600 calories burned, it was intense lmao.

I would also look into water activities. THis is will burn calories just as well, while giving her ankle support, allowing you to go longer and reduce the risk to your ankle.
