How can I lower my blood pressure?

High Blood Pressure and Aerobics

Regular aerobic activity performed at moderate intensity 5 to 7 days a week decreases the resting blood pressure of people. This is important because high blood pressure is a major risk factor for Coronary Heart Disease and stroke. Two shorter work out sessions of 20-30 minutes in the morning and evening may optimize the blood-pressure-lowering effects. Supplement these workouts with resistence training twice a week, using lighter weights and higher repetitions to strengthen the major muscles of the body.
