Varies: It varies in part based upon the severity of your hypertension and also your current level of physical fitness. Starting out gradually, and also checking your blood pressure during your exercise would be your best bet.

Assuming HTN treated: if you assume the hypertension is adequately treated, then exercise is good for you. cardiovascular, aerobic exercises; isotonic exercises.

Exercise : Anything is usually good for exercise. But cardio I would recommend, and can help lower your blood pressure

Usual exercises: The key issue is controlling the BP in the goal range 110-130/60-80 If controlled and no other serious medical problems aerobic (walking, running, swimming, bike riding, treadmill, etc) and anaerobic(resistance or wt training) or yoga/tai chi are ok. Safe exercise is regular (3x/wk or more) and very gradual in increased intensity. Stress test may be indicated to assess BP control. Check with MD.

Exercise with HTN: 1. Push back from the table. 2. Throw the salt shaker. 3. Lift a glass of low Na V-8 every day. Waking is probably best overall exercise.

Cardiovascular.: Light to moderate cardiovascular exercise will help lower blood pressure, improve heart health and provide aerobic conditioning. All great benefits for someone with hypertension.

Depends: As long as hypertension is controlled, participation in any form of exercise would be fine.

Most any: Most aerobic exercises are completely safe with reasonable hypertension and will help in the long run. Theoretically - incredibly heavy weight lifting and holding ones breath can transiently increase ones pressure and thus may not be ideal, but this is for hypertensives (over 160 systolic) and for intense weight lifting.

Hypertension: Hi Arianna, first, it depends on your ability. Start with a 30 minute walk, and work your way up from there.eventually, transition to jogging, rowing, or cycling for cardio. If you are overweight, consider a healthy diet with portion and calorie control as weight loss can help. Also, drink plenty of water, get plenty of sleep (8 hours/night), and avoid salt/sodium. Hope that helps
