Some people do the Strength and Flex programme which is fab... if you arent used to exercise then a rest may be what you need. Otherwise a nice walk, swim, cycle... go to the gym. There is loads you could do :)

Or there is the C25K podcast with the delightful Laura as your coach:

If you see references on this site to Julie, Laura, awful music... that's the podcast.
