Default Limited Workout

I just messed up my thumb. It may or may not be broken and will likely take weeks to heal. I don't want to completely give up on fitness in the mean time, especially since I've been making large strides lately.

I'm looking for some workouts that can be accomplished without major use of my thumb. I can hold a weight as long as it is not moved in a way that utilizes the thumb or the grip to much.

this may be a time to use machines since grip isn't much of a factor for many of them...of you can use a hooking grip wtih your fingers and let your thumb dangle...

I'm in the same boat. Pressing sucks, as does dynamic movements. Everything else should be ok.
