Hi there! Same situation here...I purchased work out dvd's and love them! I do the walking ones with hand/ankle weights. If you don't want to buy them maybe your library would have them for you to check out? Good luck to ya! 

I only work out in my home, my heart and not being able to do too much prevented me from being able to go outside for a while. I do yoga with hand weights. I can do a few yoga positions and just feel my muscles almost on fire. It's a tougher workout than a lot of people realize. The best thing for me, you can do it here and there, even during a commercial hold a pose. Do ten minutes in the morning 10 at night, 5 during lunch! You can do calve raises standing in line at the grocery store or bank or while your waiting for something to heat in the microwave. Everything I do, I can do in a few minutes here and there, otherwise I dont think I'd have been able to manage. I cant do an hour at the gym, I dont have the time or the desire to be away from my regular routine that long. I hope that gives you a few ideas. Best wishes to you! 

What do you like to do? Dance... get dance videos/dvds? Gardening... this is prime gardening time! Walking, stretching, hand weights. I like to switch up different dvd's/tapes. Good luck! 

Thanks for all the advice on exercising! I am gonna try a few of your suggestions!
