Exercise

What's everyone doing for exercise after being cleared by your dr or midwife?  I just had my 6 week pp visit yesterday and I'm down 30 pounds with 30 more pounds to lose to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight. 

My dr cleared me to do any kind of exercise but I'm having a tough time finding a good starting point.  I'm already walking with LO everyday.  Before and during pregnancy I swam, golfed, and played tennis but I won't be able to jump right back into any of those without someone to watch LO. 

What are some good suggestions for exercise programs that you've had good experiences with that I might be able to do at home while LO naps?

Thanks ladies!

So glad I'm not the only one who gained more than that ridiculous twenty pounds the drs. Talk about while pregnant! I haven't weighed myself yet because my six week checkup isn't until next week. I've definitely got a little ways to go. I'm going to start

Thank you all so much for your suggestions.  I definitely have more to go on now - I've never really worked out at home so it's new territory for me lol.  Thanks again!
