I can relate to people's frustrations about having used to been active. I was a cheerleader, colorguard captain, on the dance team....I can actually usually do a decent amount of exercise now, as long as I have someone with me. Another thing you might think about is a rocking chair, for days when you really want to do something but just can't seem to stand at all. I hope you find some things that work for you. I like swimming, but I'm not a very strong swimmer so it's hard for me to get a good workout that way! So like other people said, start slow, take someone with you. And only you know what your body can handle, so baby steps! Good luck! Meg
