What exercises can be done to lower blood pressure for high blood pressure

Patients with hypertension can do moderate intensity aerobic exercise, which is known to lower blood pressure, mainly by walking, jogging, cycling, swimming, and other rhythmic exercises that can drive a large number of muscle groups. The warm-up and cool-down period before and after the main exercise is 5-10 minutes of stretching or low-level aerobic exercise, with a frequency of at least three days per week, which can benefit from daily exercise. The intensity of exercise is defined as about 60-80% of the patient’s maximum heart rate, the formula for maximum heart rate is maximum heart rate = 220 – the patient’s age. High-intensity exercise is not beneficial for patients with hypertension, and the duration of each exercise session is about 30-60 minutes. When starting an exercise program, if the patient is intolerant to longer periods of exercise, the initial period can be 10 minutes, gradually increasing to 30 minutes per day.
