Exercise raises BP: That is a great question. During exercise, your heart increases its activity to deliver more oxygen to your hard working muscles. It is normal to have an increase in blood pressure during exercise. It is best to gradually increase your level of exercise to improve your tolerance. Cardiovascular endurance comes with time and your heart rate may not raise as much for your heart to do the same work.
