[quote=Anonymous]If you need muscle I wouldn’t focus on cardio first (as much as I love cardio and think it’s important). I would go to a gym and have an employee show you how to use the machines and do machines while you are listening to a podcast or music that you like. If you don’t want in-person, get some weights (light, like 3-5 lbs) and look at arm, core, back, and leg exercises online. Focus on form and don’t do anything that hurts.

When you get a little stronger I would do barre classes or Pilates classes. You can stream them (and they do have beginner level classes online, just fo a YouTube search for them), but I think most people have success doing it in-person.

For your blood pressure, I assume you know that diet makes a massive difference. I would also walk. Everybody loves high-intensity workouts these days, but a focus on that, for any fitness level, won’t get you your maximum level of fitness for a variety of reasons. Take your Max heart rate (subtract  your age from 220 for a good estimate) and then see what it feels like to get your heart rate up to fifty percent of your max. Chances are you will feel like it’s easy but that is in the cardiovascular zone! This way you can work out longer, with less injury, your body will learn how to burn more fat when exercising, and you can do fun things while you are exercising. High and moderate intensity is important too but the best athletes still spend a good amount of time with low intensity training.

It takes so much time to see results but you’ll enjoy the payoff for years to come. Good luck! [/quote]
