Advice for dizziness and workout

[Writer]

So I've been working out on and off for a couple of years now and for the past year or so I've been having dizziness and a bunch of problems with my head(I'm seeing a doctor for it) but I haven't worked out properly in awhile. I do stretches and try to maintain some of my old routines with the weights(had to go to my previous weights) and I walk a lot, so I'm not exactly unfit.
One of my doctors told me that I should try to do cardio as it might help with one of my many problems, but a lot of the cardio exercises tend to change your head position.
Turning it to the side or jumping up and down and things like that both make me dizzy and usually give me a headache unless it's a really good day which then turns bad when I do those exercises.
So any alternatives that any of you might know? Or really any sort of advice would be really appreciated.

Hello and welcome @Writer !

I'm no expert but I do have some thoughts I want to share:

There is a guide called How To Change Any Exercise Into A Resistance, Cardio or Aerobic Workout and also a guide on exercise modification here on Darebee. I don't know if it suits you, but I'm thinking that you could maybe build/find yourself a cardio workout with exercises like Towel Sliding Climbers and other (modified) exercises that hopefully lets you keep your head stable enough?
Then I thought of some form of seated exercise. There is a Seated Cardio Workout in this Seated Exercise Collection. Maybe other things from that collection also work for you? A quick search engine search for "seated cardio" also gave some promising results!

Can you do march steps and step jacks? Then you could check out some LIIT (low intensity interval training) options, for ex. in this collection.

Last idea: do you have access to a stationary bike somewhere? Maybe ask around, try it at a gym or see if there are free outdoor gyms in your area that have something like that, to see if it works for you. I like cycling in al shapes and forms. You could even consider doing bicycle crunches as cardio, though I'm not sure if it is intense enough.

Good luck and maybe you can let us know if that makes sense to you and for your situation.
