Subby,
Good job looking to get rebuild some stamina and fitness.

I started swimming years ago to begin my "rehabilitation". At first it was just a few laps at a time (I got winded and nauseous at first) but gradually I was doing a mile or more each morning. Just be sure that shoulder isn't stressed.
Machines like the ellipticals are "self-paced" so you set the tension, speed & incline and stay on for as long as the music or tv moves you. I love csi & time my cardio on the elliptical to cover a 1 hour show start to finish. You also can limit the arm motion.

Yoga is very good. The instructor I have always allows us leeway to prevent overworking a sore or damaged area. I don't like to not keep up with the class but part of a session was always better than no session.

Good luck,
Mike
