I have been doing several ab exercises such as leg lifts, crunches, bicycles, etc. Unfortunately i broke my leg and am now in a cast from my foot to my mid thigh. Anyone know of some good ab exercises I can do?

Brandon, You can do a modified ab crunch sequence. It works every section of the abdominal musculature so it’s really the only ab exercise you need. And, you don’t need to buy any equipment. Lay on your back on the floor with feet anchored against furnature, put your hands behind your head and elbows out to the sides. Then very slowly “curl-up” by lifting each vertebra off the floor one by one until your shoulder blades are up off of the ground then do the same all the way back down to the begining position. Barely stop at the top and at the bottom. Keep in constant motion. This will ensure that you work each section of the abdominal musculature. Do these to fatigue making sure to breathe throughout the exercise. Rest. Then follow up with 2 sets of alternating obliques where you take each elbow and go to the opposite sidewhile you are “curling up.” Being careful to again lift each vertebra off the floor one by one. And, concentrate on making a smooth arc in the air with your elbow then alternate sides. No matter how far you get you will have worked both sides evenly. Hope this helps.
Best of luck to you!
