How long ago did you break your foot? What specific bone(or bones) in your foot is broken? If it was really that recent, rest it. Don't do a whole lot. Once you can tolerate some movement, try a stationary bike. Obviously go with a restistance you can tolerate. After that, body-weight-bearing exercises should be performed. Just don't overdo it; be smart about your foot. Speed and agility training is out for now, but you'll get back into it in no time.
