Do you have access to a pool? When a friend of mine was having severe tendon problems in her ankle, she could still swim.
Well if you don't want to go outside and you don't want to get a gym membership there really isn't a whole lot you can do... I'm assuming you don't have any gym equiptment in your home to work with.
I really would consider re-thinking the gym membership. Using an elliptical machine would be really good for you. Your feet stay planted so it's no impact but you can still get a really great cardio workout which will help you shed pounds.
Also signing up for yoga or pilates classes would probably be good for you as well (which would be included with most gym memberships) since these are both low impact.
Punches, upper body only cardio, shadow boxing... all things you can do when you have a lower body injury.
No pool access. I actually got a groupon for 2 months unlimited hot yoga, but can't start that until next month. Its very frustrating, and I do think at this point, I will have to just break down and get a gym membership again. I just really don't prefer to go to the gym and work out, I'd much rather do it at home. But without equipment....
Look on Craigslist for equipment? I found some cheap treadmills/ellipticals on there previously.
@7SEVENJ9: Funny you say that. I found a Classic Bowflex thats only been used a few times for $180 on there yesterday. Hubs and I are thinking about it. I like elipticals, but he doesn't, and we could both use the Bowflex
@MrsSl82be - that's a great deal! I'm not a fan of the elliptical (it makes my knees hurt for some reason) but we have a treadmill at home that my in-laws gave us - before they offered, we had found a couple on craigslist!

So for all you fitness ladies, I have a question. I have a lot of foot problems right now, I know some of it is related to the weight I have put on in the last year. I really want to exercise, but have to be careful because I don't want to put excess strain on my feet. Anyone know of what I can do that doesn't involve me being on my feet constantly? Anything outdoors is out of the question, as its way too hot. Don't have a gym membership either, not planning on getting one at this point either, at least until my feet stop hurting the way they do.
