Working out with a broken leg

So yesterday I put together a little routine that didn't involve using my legs or standing on them. It was so successful I did another one today. Both workouts go for about 25 mins. They are circuits so to keep my heart rate up. Here they are:

Workout 1:
20 wide grip pullups (as many sets as necessary)
Circuit 1- (repeat 3 times)
    Chin ups til failure
    Leg raise x 10
    Crunches x 10
    Bicycle x 10
    Toe touchers x 10
Circuit 2- (repeat 3 times)
   Body Rows til failure
   Box pressups x 20 ( I cant do full pushups as it puts weight on my foot)
   Back extensions x 15


Workout 2:
Circuit- (repeat 4 times)
   Climbers pull ups til failure
   Supermans til failure
   Box push ups x 20
   Chin ups (close grip) til failure
   Crunches til failure
   Box Pushups til failure


Workout 2 got my heart rate higher than workout 1. By the end of the 4th round it was quite high (142bpm). I will definitely keep doing workout 2 and keep trying to add rounds.


Another part of my crippled man's workout regime is to go for a walk everyday. Yesterday I overdid it going to Sainsbury's which was a 1 mile (1.6km) round trip. Today I will just go for a walk around the block which is only 640m.
