Muscular system: Muscles of the lower leg and foot

How do I get into shape pretty quickly?

I was in a boot-cast thing on my foot for 3weeks, and i've had that white swedo brace on for 2 weeks, get it off in a week. Softball tryouts are in about 2-3 weeks, if my dad can talk to the coach. I mainly need to run at decent pace without getting too winded. I dont need to wrry about arm muscles, just leg, feet and running and stuf flike that. I really really really want to play softball, so PLEASE tel me everything that could help.
Also, i have a stationary bike, would that be able to help alot? Because i like to bike and that wouldnt strain the tendons.

Btw, i had the boot on in the first place because of an extra bone that caused a strain on the tendon, but there was no brreaking a bone or surgery, so thats not an issue.

PS dont just answer "its impossible" because i want help, not that stupid stuff

using the bike would help
as it gets easier..go faster and add a greater drag to it
also jogging/running alot will also help to get you back in shape
doing leg exercises such as squats will strengthen you leg muscles to make running the bases in softball easier

Corrective Shoes for Common Foot Problems

Even though orthopedic shoes share some qualities such as breathable material, there are a host of unique problems that consumers suffer and an equal amount of shoe modifications to accommodate them. It is important to note that although some inserts and surgeries are available to help permanently correct the feet, most corrective shoes are meant to enhance mobility. Below are some of the most common types of corrective shoes.

A person with flat feet has a small or nonexistent arch. This shape makes it painful to stand on the feet for a long period of time and often causes a person to experience fatigue in their feet and legs more quickly than someone with a normal arch. Although exercise can be good for the muscles and tendons in the foot, in extreme cases or in certain situations corrective shoes may be necessary.

A common type of shoe is called a Thomas Heel which provides an artificial arch of varying size to supplement the inadequate arch of the consumer. Scaphoid pads provide support to people with the unique problem of “flexible flat feet”, a condition in which an arch appears when a person is off his feet but flattens when he is standing.

An issue that more seriously affects a person’s mobility is something commonly called “pigeon feet”, a condition in which the toes are either inverted or pointing outward to varying degrees. Lasts are the most commonly used corrective shoes for this problem. Reverse Lasts manually help move the feet into the correct position over several months of wearing. Straight Lasts simply hold the feet in a position that allows unhindered walking.

There are also several problems with the heel in many people experiencing orthopedic problems. One of the common problems involves a low heel. A wedge is often used to balance out the heel with the rest of the body. Heel flares are used to help the foot strike the ground properly due to a number of balance and shape problems without affecting the neutral standing position.

These are often used along with SACH (solid-ankle cushion-heel) heels which reduce the shock to your heels when walking and compensates for lack of ankle flexibility.

Adjust-a-Lift Heel Lifts - Sold Individually Sale Price: $5.50 - $19.30 See Reviews For This Product Description The Adjust-a-Lift is sold in single lifts, not pairs. The Adjust-a-Lift is made of 1/8" three layers of neoprene rubber and a layer of leather on top. The layers can be removed to get approximately the right height when placed in the shoe. One layer provides 1/8" lift, 2 layers, 1/4" lift and 3 layers 3/8" lift. The layer of leather makes this more of a lift than a pad; similar-looking products with a nylon top are generally too soft and spongy to serve as heel lifts. The main advantage of the Adjust-a-Lift is that you need not remove the insole or foot bed of your shoe to use it, as the top leather cover is absorbent and comfortable underfoot. However, it cannot be cleaned but can be expected to last as long as the pair of shoes in which it is placed. The neoprene material used is somewhat compressible, so you may notice your heel moving up and down or rubbing in your shoe slightly when walking with an Adjust-a-Lift. The foam will also compress slightly as you walk on it, so the height it provides will become less over time. The Adjust-a-Lift is usually used in closed-heel fashion. For open heel lifts, please see Clearly Adjustable Heel Lifts. Features Three easily-removable 1/8" layers for custom comfort High-quality dense rubber with a suede top Durable, non-slip construction that is very comfortable to wear Latex free Instantly correct leg length discrepancies
