Critique my schedule for a broken femur

Hi

I am back in the gym/swimming pool after breaking my left femur back in January. I am 38 years old and my goals are to build up my strength in my legs (still walking on one crutch) loose body fat and get in good shape.
I have a good diet plan.

Mon/Fri (3x10)
1. Leg extensions.
2. Leg curls.
3. Calve raises
4. Duck squats.
5. Bench press.
6. Pec deck
7. Military press(dumbells)
8. Shrugs
9. Tricep pulldowns.

Wed (3x10)
1. All the above leg exercises 1-4
2. Alternating dumbell curls
3. Preacher curls
4. Forearm curls.
5. Lat pulldown
6. One arm row

On Tues/Thurs swimming 750m each session Freestyle. Sat/Sun Rest days

What do you think? Any advice greatly appreciated for a better more efficient workout.

Thanks
 
I'm guessing the doctor has given you the ok to start exercising? Seems pretty full for having a broken femur, but if all is good, it's great you're getting back into it.
I currently have 20 stitches and a skin graft on my right knee, although different to a broken a femur, I've been exercising my left leg as much as I can... It's amazing the neurological effects it can have... your body will automatically recruit muscle fibres in my sore leg as well. I guess my point is, if you're still struggling with you're injured leg, don't be scared to heavily exercise your healthy leg.
I can't wait to get back to swimming. Great form of exercise.
