Hi Ruby

I have hypertension too and am on medication and am on Atkins too.

I have been regularly doing some weight training work at the gym and have not noticed any detrimental effect on the blood pressure.

If you join a good gym, they should be able to take a reading for you and then do some more spot readings for you ... better yet ... buy yourself a wee blood pressure monitoring kit and watch what happens when you do it. Weight training is worth the effort. Blood pressure problems are a pain in the A************

Good Luck
