Dear JM,

A combination of stretching, weightlifting, and cardiovascular exercises is ideal.

Exactly which and how much will depend upon your own abilities, and for this I would ask your doctor to refer you to a qualified physical therapist.

The PT can assess your strength and abilities and help you design the best possible program for your individual needs.
