Confession time! ( exercise related)

So, I admit a bit more than 2 months out from surgery and I still have not committed to an exercise regime. I do walk. Daily and get about 8-10,000 steps a day but that's not enough.

I'm looking to start something early am before work so I need something easily done and that doesn't involve going to a gym. Gym membership is just not in the cards right now....too much of a commitment and there's none close to my home.

What did you start with? I was running laps on the roof of my building last summer/ fall but it's closed for repairs right now so none of that for a while.....
