Ideas for Beginner excersizes that don't use feet

Wonderwoman2677

So I need some ideas. I'm scheduling foot surgery for a bunion on my right foot that impedes the way I walk. I want to get started on losing weight and shaping up though. I can't do much walking. The pain is too much on a daily basis. I go for the occasional walk now and it hurts for days after.
I also have a lot of joint pain, so starting with lifting weights, even light ones, isn't working for me. I have a Total Gym, but can't do much with it without a lot of pain in my joints.
Any cardio workouts that don't include your feet?

Swimming? or Chair Exercises?

for both arm and leg exercises.

You can also sit and do some shadow boxing. Get into a rhythm of some different moves (cross, uppercut, jab, etc.) and you can actually really get your heart rate going.

i second swimming. great cardio exercise without any significant stress on your back or joints.
