To combat this I've been doing daily weight training with my 14-year old son
for over 9 months. I've built muscle mass and stamina, and (for the first
time in 20 years) my back isn't on the verge of "going out" all the time.
weight training is actually a poor choice. the muscles being exercised
are too small and really all you are doing is exacerbating
hypertension.

That's not always the case. I've read studies that show that weight
training is also beneficial to cardio-vascular health, in addition to
aerobic excersise. I've weight trained, along with 30 minutes on a
stationary bike, three times a week, for the last 18 years, and my blood
pressure is just fine.
