Manda wanted to know:


Hey,
I have Marfans Syndrome, and though I am skinny, I would like to lose fat and get more toned (or just lose fat ) I know there’s no way to “target” areas, but I need ideas for exercise that are “marfan-compatible” (i.e. no isometric exercise, no cardio)- mostly low-impact stuff. The problem is that I have the attention span of a puppy, so things like bike riding and walking are kind out out. I know swimming’s the best option, but I don’t want chlorine to damage my hair (sounds silly, i know)… I was wondering if I could do LIGHT weights- the other day I did lying leg curls, and they really worked out my hamstrings. I used only 5 kg/leg… Is this okay, or should I go even lower with the weights? And even if I did use really light weights, how would that be in relation to blood pressure?
Thanks!
