Cardio that is good for weight loss and kind to my silly old Plantar FaShite-is (correct spelling ;)) foot!

(Why, of course that's the correct spelling ;))

Hello!

I have sadly have developed a plantar fasciitis problem in my left foot. I'm experiencing a lot of achiness around the insole & heel area that seems to often be worse in the morning (though it eases a little bit as the day goes on). I'm certain that it's come about from a lot of walking, from a history of skipping rope and running and tending to get really into it (not for hours on end, but probably getting into a routine of every other day quicker than perhaps I should in the later half of my 30s.)

I am also overweight and wanting to lose 20kg. I am currently around 82kg and 5'3" - some of that is muscle, some of it definitely isn't, and I'm also wanting to get rid of some visceral belly fat especially.

The plantar pain has unfortunately cut short a couch 25k challenge I was steadily doing quite abruptly - and predictably, my weight loss has also stalled. I'm sad that this has affected my cardio as doing running or skipping rope (jump rope) outside had also done wonders for my mental health.

Does anyone have any new lower impact cardio tips for this Elder Millennial facing down her own foot fallibility? 😅😂 I am considering pivoting to cycling (getting an exercise bike and doing some home spinning workouts alongside weight lifting and maybe home boxercise workouts too). Work on the diet will continue in the background, as I very much recognise its importance - and particularly I want to find ways of breaking a bad stress eating habit that relates to work stress.

All ideas very welcome! Thank you!
