Best ways to stay in shape with an injury??

I am generally very active. I am a runner, I do yoga, I swim, I play soccer. I just broke my toe about two weeks ago now and now I am completely off it for the next 6 weeks (and counting...). It's really frustrating not to be able to do anything right now! I organize a soccer group and while it's still fun to watch, I'd much rather be playing for sure....

I am trying to figure out ways I can stay in shape during my down time. I would say it's very difficult right now for me to get any sort of aerbic exercise given the nature of the injury.... don't know, but I was thinking maybe others out there have experienced a similar type of injury where you've had to stay off it for a length of time and what did you do?

I am no longer on crutches so I can walk, that is at least something, but given the ammount and level of activity I'm used to I'm trying to figure out (a) how to stay in shape so I don't come back being completely out of it and (b) how to get some sort of aerobic exercise with this type of injury, I don't belong to a gym, by the way.

Any ideas or suggestions? Other thoughts about dealing with an injury?

Thanks!
