Any suggestions as to what I can do for exercise, 3 weeks post-op surgery?

My surgeon advised no vigorous exercise until Tuesday. Have been walking 5 miles per day outside, but what to do when it's raining all day? Any suggestions would be helpful.

    Grab an umbrella because walking in the rain is fun, but I live So.Cal. where rain is a treat.

    Yes, I can do that. I was cleared to do that last Monday by my surgeon. Have 13 steps down and 13 steps up. Thanks for the suggestion!!

    If it's in-the-cards for you, buy an exercise bike. It'll come in handy when winter hits and other bad weather.
