    You shouldn't be so tired after short workouts. When you walk try having your child in a stroller so you can go faster. I'd start with just walking since you seem to have trouble with anything else. Could it be a mental thing? If your dr gives you the ok just go it he on and try to keep active and busy.

    Since you have low blood pressure, you might need to walk at a moderate pace until you heart rate and blood pressure returns to normal to keep it from dropping lower than normal right after you finish exercising. Just 5 minutes of walking will return you heart rate and blood pressure closer to normal while hopefully avoiding big dip right after.

    When I started doing 30 Day Shred it about killed me. I began doing it in the evening when the kids were in bed. Then I recovered while I slept. (don't know if that was right or wrong, but it's when I had time!)

    I tried it one morning and I was so CRANKY all day because my body was tired!

    But now, suddenly, I can do a session in the morning and not feel tired and sore afterward.....

    So, maybe play around with your timing until you get stronger????

    Blood sugar.

    Try eating something small right away; a banana or half a sandwich, and then 1/2 an hour later eating more carbs and some protein. Also try hydrating more.

    Check your blood pressure too. Your BP could be too low!
