How it works

Exercise strengthens the heart, improves arterial elasticity and reduces peripheral vascular resistance, all of which lower resting blood pressure.

People with very high blood pressure should get medical clearance before starting intense exercise. Start gradually.

Why very strong evidence

Meta-analyses of over 100 trials show aerobic exercise reduces systolic BP by 5–8 mmHg in hypertensive individuals.

Noticeably less frequent issues after about a month of consistent use. Worth sticking with.

Good results overall. Had to adjust the approach slightly but found what worked for me. Would recommend trying it.

Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.
