Default Fractured a bone today....need advice of what to do

hi
for the past 3weeks i have working out really hard and started see some real changes in my body. today should have been my 4th week into training but i fractured a bone in my hand yesterday. the doctors said that i shouldn't do any weight lifting for the next 6weeks.
i don't want to lose muscles i have gained for the last 3weeks, so any advice on what to do?
thanks

My advice? Listen to the doctors. It's gonna suck to lose some of what you gained but its better then screwing up your hand for the rest of your life.

i agree... i mean you can do some cardio if you want to do somethin physical until you're cleared to start lifting again

Leg extention, leg press and leg curl are all still possible.

Definitely listen to the Doctor. 6 Weeks is nothing compared to 3 to 6 months if you make it worse.

take the time to develop yourself in other ways... there are other good ways of being productive. that'll lessen the crappy feeling you'll get by not training hard.
