Urge to want to jump around and fly

[allanjchiang]

How do you bounce back after a physical injury? I really enjoyed running when I was healthy because it felt like flying, even if just for moments at a time. However, now I'm recovering from an injury, it will take roughly 6 more weeks to heal and run again. And I wanted to replicate that feeling through gaming. In games, I can fly and jump around as much as I want without fear of injury. How do you cope if you injured yourself physically? I tried weightlifting training my upper body and while that felt nice, I feel like my heart rate didn't go up as much as it would doing cardio. I could I guess go on a helicopter ride, parachute, paraglide or travel but that might be a bit expensive.

Now that I think about it, swimming is a bit like flying and it doesn't require much pressure on the legs. That may be an option 🙂
