Exercise guidance for patients with hypertension

  Patients with hypertension are best suited to do some easy and effective aerobic exercises without a lot of physical exertion, like walking, jogging, tai chi, swimming, cycling, etc., which are all good exercise choices.  Walking, arguably the best form of exercise for people with high blood pressure, is also the easiest way to achieve exercise. We advocate walking every day, insist on walking, long-term walking, each walking time of at least 30 minutes, but we should pay attention to the gradual, not forced and make themselves feel very tired; do not just eat full out walking, which is not conducive to digestion; to choose the right shoes and pants clothing and socks; to choose the right weather. During the walk, we should pay attention to walking posture, slope, adjust breathing, pay attention to the weather and warmth, and the intensity of exercise should be coordinated with our blood pressure and heart rate.

And it should be noted that hypertensive patients must take antihypertensive drugs before morning exercise.  What is the most appropriate amount of exercise intensity?
