I'm right at 2 weeks out, and I'm just walking about a mile to a mile and a half every evening. We're truckers and Dr said walking is just fine, cause really exercising is kinda hard to do on the road. So once I'm back in the truck with hubby next week, it'll be at least half an hour walks in the evenings.

The elliptical machine at the gym is low impact but can burn more calories than walking. That's a good start.

The other option is interval training on the treadmill. Walk at 3.0 for 3 minutes then jog for 45 seconds at 5.0. Continue this until you reach 30 or 45 minutes. Adjust the speed as works for you. Then adjust the intervals and speeds as you get more endurance. High intensity interval training is scientifically proven to burn the most calories
