Glutes and hamstrings of the injured leg -- hard to do anything heavy because you can't put weight through the foot, but you could do all the "quadruped" exerciss on hands and knees: donkey kicks, etc.. The weight of the cast will help add resistance. *g*
OTOH, if you're exhausted, you probably want to minimize the extra stress you're putting on your body.
Could be worth putting focus into stretching and massage stuff for everything that's getting overworked by life on crutches.
