Gym
I went back 2 days after surgery! Walked for 3 weeks and then went back to the bike and weights.
5'5" 64 year old; HW 219; SW 199; CW 129; GW 145ish (original)...now on to "ideal" (138)...got that...now a few spare (132)...got that one, too! Now for the 120's!! Made them...now for the "dream" weight...125! Well, that one's proving to be a little tougher!
I started walking up and down my street the day I got home from surgery. I switched to the treadmill at the gym about 2 weeks post-op. About 2 months post-op I started taking a ton of fitness classes. Then I started running at the gym on the treadmill. Then I started running outside.
I've got plans to start Aikido in May (14 months post-op) and I'm going to start doing strength training with a personal trainer when I hit 96-lb lean mass or September, whichever comes first.

I was able to do all the walking I wanted immediately post-op. Wasn't release for more vigorous exercise or weight-lifting until 6-8 weeks out.
