I'd back off and wait to be closer to better.

Since most people need glute work over quad work (lunge works both and more) prolly a good sub (and just something good to do in general as you're kinda incapacitated a bit) would be glute bridges.

I'd seriously just give it a bit. Do the lower work you can, maybe some RDLs and bridging, other bodyweight and mobility stuff (bird dogs, fire hydrants, hip abduction and adduction, maybe with a band rather than a weight stack (cuz of the boot), etc) and do some upper body work, and otherwise let yourself heal and then get back on track where you left off.

If you find you can do everything but this, I suppose subbing and continuing on would be good, but really rest for recovery would be good, you can still keep up work, and things are only gonna get harder after stage 1 and then if you're not still better you're gonna have a worse time of it… so holding off and just doing those kinds of movements that you can will put you farther ahead (able to use more weight) when you do start when better.

Hope it gets better soon, being gimpy sucks ass.
