High blood pressure (hypertension) is a common condition in which the long-term force of the
blood against your artery walls is high enough that it may eventually cause health problems, such as heart
disease. People can be hypertensive when their diet is high in salt, fat or cholesterol and also family
history, especially if your parents or other close relatives have high blood pressure. Aside from blood
pressure medications, there is also regular physical activity that can help lessen your risk of hypertension.
By engaging in this kind of activity, it can help hypertensive people in lowering their blood pressure. It
gives them more energy as well, and it’s a perfect way to ease stress and feel better.
Regular physical activity can help the heart become stronger. With less effort, a stronger heart will
pump more blood. If your heart will work less to pump, the force on the arteries will likely decrease and
can result in lowering your blood pressure. It can also help decrease your blood pressure of 5-7 mmHg.
Physical activity not only helps control high blood pressure but also it will help you manage your weight .
A healthy weight, a strong heart and general emotional health are all good for your blood pressure. You
do not need to take a lot of medications because doing exercise is enough which is not costly and people
can do it in their home. You also don’t need to go to a gym or hire a coach to teach you on what to do.
You just need to be active enough that you are breathing harder and making your heart beat a little
faster. Jogging, walking, swimming, biking, lifting weights and doing yard work are some of the few
exercises that you can easily do. People who aren’t physically active are much more likely to have health
problems like heart attack and stroke that is why doing exercises is very important even though you do
not have any medical condition. Scientific evidence strongly shows that physical activity is safe for almost
everyone.
When it comes to physical activity, find ways to enjoy it. It can be walking outdoors while listening
to your favorite music or just enjoy the scenery. Do not be afraid of doing exercises and just take it
gradually if you are just a beginner. Doing too many exercises without getting a rest can give you sore
muscles and injury. That is why it is best to start slowly and do not overdo it. Consult your doctor if there
are any unusualities that you may experience so that he/she can limit your activity. Also, change your diet
into healthy foods. Make sure to track your improvement especially your blood pressure readings.

RED FLAGS OR Clients should go for a moderate activity especially to the beginners. This includes brisk walking 30 mins a
SPECIAL day or jogging for 20 mins a day.
CONSIDERATIONS Encourage them to warm up 5-10 mins to prevent injury and the body will be ready for moving.
When you're done exercising, don't stop suddenly. Just slow down for a few minutes. This is especially
important for someone with high blood pressure.

Antihypertensive medications such as beta blockers and diuretics impair the ability to regulate body
temperature during exercise in hot and/or humid environment, and mask symptoms of hypoglycaemia.
Thus, people using these medications should be educated on the signs/symptoms of heat illness, the role of
adequate hydration, proper clothing to facilitate evaporative cooling, the optimal times of the day to
exercise, the importance of decreasing the exercise dosage (time and intensity) during periods of increased
heat or humidity, and methods to prevent hypoglycaemia. In addition, beta blockers can substantially alter
submaximal and maximal exercise capacity, particularly in those without myocardial ischemia and with
non-selective agents.
Antihypertensive agents such as alpha blockers, calcium channel blockers and vasodilators may provoke
hypotensive episodes after abrupt cessation of activity. Hence extending the cool-down period is generally
recommended.
Patient education regarding the importance of regular exercise for BP control and management may
increase exercise adherence. Patients may be especially responsive if this information comes from their
personal physician. Anecdotal evidence suggests knowledge of the immediate BP lowering effects of
exercise may promote exercise adherence.
