start lifting smallish dumbells.
Do crunches.
I had a lot of misery with my frozen shoulder. things that helped were manipulation and acupuncture. Then once i got past the most painful part of it, i started doing stretches that were designed to break through stubborn adhesions (which is what frozen shoulder is) so you need a PT who can help you with exercises to help.
and of course (drumroll) cycling!!

I find that fitness walking does me a lot of good- especially helping my hip joints and back stay flexible in ways that biking does not do. A few years ago I lost 2o pounds of flab just by fitness walking about four miles, 3-4 times a week.
They say that fitness walkers have great buns!

I love The Firm. You can take it down or up. It hits everything and the videos are pretty cheap on ebay. I also like yoga with Rodney Yee.

Both Pilates and Yoga could help in getting you started and on the way back to good shape.
Good luck!

Swimming is nice, especially if you feel tight. I've been doing quite a bit while my bike is in the shop and I love it.
Be yourself, to the extreme!

In addition to all the suggestions above, what about just starting out with shorter rides? Like 5-10 minutes out and back? That way you won't be far from home if you start to feel uncomfortable, and it will help you know what you may want to focus on for strengthening and flexibility.

I've been sort of stuck over this issue for awhile, it's good to get some unsticking advice.
Thanks, I'm paying attention.By charity, goodness, restraint, and self-control men and woman alike can store up a well-hidden treasure -- a treasure which cannot be given to others and which robbers cannot steal. A wise person should do good. That is the treasure that cannot be lost.
