Exercise 2 months out? Just starting...
I started with walking, and then went to some water aerobics. If you like the water that is a great starting point - no impact on the joints, balanced with a good amount of resistance. Check to see if your community pool, rec center, or a gym offers water aerobics classes.
Once I felt more capable and had lost some weight, I began doing studio aerobics, jazzercise, and working with a trainer. The key is to find something you enjoy and will keep doing!

I have been walking since 2 weeks out on a treadmill. Once I was cleared at 6 weeks, I started getting serious about working out. Now at 11 weeks I have a pretty decent routine: 3 days/week of intense cardio (Zumba is usually one of those days); 2 days with a personal trainer-day one is arms/back/core and day two is legs, butt, and hips...the 6th day I do a mix of cardio and weights. The more I do it the more I want to do it. Exercise is soooo worth it! If you have a YMCA or other gym near you, they will usually guide your or even have trainers you can work with individually.
If you're anything like me, I joined the gym, but had no idea what I was doing. I got a trainer ($200 for 8 sessions) and had a routine made just for me. I am not released to do abs yet, but we'll see what MD says tomorrow. I "range walked" with my husband around the 2 mile track at our local lake (range walking is tougher than a light jog). I try to get cardio in everyday and work with free weights, cables and machines 3 times a week.
