    Streatch....cardio using the bike, treadmill or elliptical (if you feel you are ready and would like a great burn). Check out strength training with some of the machines. Many of them will show you pictures of what they will target. Don't be afraid to ask questions. I was amazed at how helpful people were (rare few are too into what they are doing). Just like here success is encouragement and most people enjoy sharing knowledge. Another option is to post the gym in the town you are in to see if anyone on here may already belong who may want a work out partner (if you are comfortable with this). I had fun with my guy as he joined after me, was in worse shape, learned from me and now running circles around me. It can be done!
