Easy Exercise Please!
Okay, so by now most everyone here knows me I think [I AM SPAM!], but let me give a quick run down of my physical fitness abilities.
I'm not Patrick Jane so I couldn't divine your fitness abilities, however, from the title of you thread may I suggest walking as an "easy" exercise?
Also, I promote the Schwinn Airdyne (I am not a paid spokesman.). You can probably pick one up off of Craig's List. The new Airdyne AD2 is less expensive than the AD4, and $200 cheaper.
Good luck, but maybe the least expensive route is walking.

I'll second the walking. Not only is it easy, it's cheap and what humans were designed to do.

I see two possibilities: (1) Your message got posted sooner than expected. (2) Your physical fitness abilities are... nothing!
Don't worry about this. Try to walk more during the day. If it's too hot to walk outside, or too rainy, or whatever, then try walking at a mall. No need to do too much, but invest in some good supportive shoes. They are worth it.
Try taking the stairs now and then. I don't mean ten flights, I mean just one. Even a few steps up and down is better than none.
Another good exercise is to practice getting up from a chair without using the arms of the chair to push off. Do this five or six times, and you've done some good squats.
And while sitting, you can do leg raises. You can also just lift your arms and make circular motions, possibly while holding some light weights in both hands. You don't need to buy weights to do this.
The idea is just to add some physical activity to your life. Don't sit unmoving for hours on end--move around!
