I attended my first session yesterday just as an intro. My B/P was taken and it was 202/114. I was horrified. It is far too high to do the exercise but I am being allowed to do gentle ones at the gym as a last resource. Part of the intro I was allowed 6 minutes on the exercise bike to see how I could cope. I start proper in a weeks time for 2-3 sesions a week. Just hoping that I will be able to manage it and will benefit from it.

My GP has referred my to 'Excercise on Perscription' and I have to go for the first time this week. Has anyone tried this and did it work for you.
