So I was doing the 30 day shred but I've been having problems with hypotension and its just killing me. I literally feel about ready to pass out half way through. Or throw up.
BUT I've gained ten pounds in two weeks somehow and need to find exercises that I can do when my BP is as low as it has been. I went to the doctor today and he suggested strength workouts over cardio so I was wondering if anyone had any I could use?
I'd prefer to do it at home and have three pound weights, one pound weights, resistance bands and a stair stepper. My BP standing is 90/50.
Please help.

Body weight exercises will be good. Try things like push-ups, sit-ups, chair dips... that sort of thing.
If you have a narrow hall, you can press your back against one wall and your feet against the other for decent leg exercise.0 -

Try The Butt Bible! It's just strength, no cardio. Level 1 is basic but still gets it done

There's a few different bodyweight routines at nerd fitness. They're pretty adaptable to different situations.
