My new client has high blood pressure and is on medicine. What precautions should i take with her?
I was able to workout with this new client the other day and she kept having to take breaks all the time and then told me she has high blood pressure and is on medicine but didn’t take it that morning so will the next time I see her. She just came with a friend to see if she wanted to hire me and does but I’m concerned about this and what I should do to help her but also don’t want to worry about working her out too hard! I always do some type of HIIT training with clients and don’t want issues obviously! Any help would be amazing!!
I have a few clients who have high blood pressure
Each time we meet I ask them to take their pressure and also ask them if they have taken their meds.
With your situation I would talk with her, and express your concerns, even now, after the fact.
In the future you may want to ask clients not to bring friends and instead offer a 30 minute consultation for potential clients.
This person could be a potential client that just missed the opportunity to do a workout that is conducive to her fitness level.
