[quote="Izaak"]Tried tai chi or yoga? I hear those particular exercises are non sweat inducing, and are ideal for those with circulatory problems. Being young probably yoga is more intensive for you. Don't know how bad your problems are though. Personally, I would like to do tai chi. But have yet to get around to doing anything about it. This list is far from exhaustive as I do not have an extensive knowledge of low impact exercises suitable for a person with low blood pressure. Perhaps consulting a doctor would be a help?[/quote]

Some DVDs have you doing exercises faster than others, depending on the school of Pilates the instructor comes from (those who stick close to what founder Joseph Pilates taught often do the exercises faster, and it's more challenging this way). Personally, I think slower is better for beginners, since the moves rely on precision and it's easier to get the moves down when you're doing them slowly. You need to move in conjunction with your breath, hold your abs in ("bring your belly button to the spine," as they say... as if most people's belly buttons would come anywhere <span style="font-style: italic">close</span> to the spine! <img src="modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif" alt="Laughing" border="0" /> ), keep a "neutral" spine (with a natural curve, not exaggerated or straightened out), etc. If you do what the video instructor says, you'll be fine. <img src="modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile" border="0" /> <br /> <br />The whole key to Pilates is not how many reps you do, but how precisely you are able to do the moves. The precision is what builds up your strength and muscle tone. This is why it never gets easier, and the same moves are challenging even after you've been doing them for months. And it's probably one of the safer exercises for someone with low blood pressure. <br /> <br />-J.</td> </tr></table><span class="postbody"> <br />I want it to get a bit easier...I also get dizzy when I'm doing really fast stuff, so I'm not looking for that.
