What to if i am looking for a suggestions for a hypertension exercise program - any ideas?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Aerobic Exercise: The best program to reduce blood pressure is one that causes weight loss through diet and exercise. Each 5% weight loss will reduce systolic BP by about 4 mmhg. Aerobic exercise is the most effective at reducing bp, but any exercise is better than nothing. Swimming is probably the worst for reducing bp.
