What Causes Muscle Loss In Thighs?

I am a 69 year old woman. I have been very inactive the last three years because of cervical neck problems. I have now had surgery and done some pain management, but I notice serious reduction in muscle tone and strength. I need too get back in shape and get the nice musculature I had in my arms and legs. How do I begin? I have a hard time walking around the block because of muscle loss in my thighs!
