PURWAKARTA CITY, AYOPURWAKARTA.COM – Getting used to exercise can help lower blood pressure. It also gives you more energy, and it’s a great way to relieve stress and feel better.
However, for people with high blood pressure, consult your doctor before starting these activities. Your doctor will confirm your readiness to exercise. Since an active lifestyle is good for people with high blood pressure, your doctor will likely allow it.
You don’t need to go to the gym. You just need to be active enough so that you breathe harder and make your heart beat faster. That includes brisk walking, jogging, swimming, biking, lifting weights, or doing yard work.
Do moderate activity, such as brisk walking, at least 30 minutes a day, at least 5 days a week. If you are short on time, strenuous activity, such as jogging, gives you the same benefits in 20 minutes, 3 to 4 days a week.
If you are not active today, gradually increase your training up to this amount. If it takes you a few weeks to get there, that’s fine.
Launching various sources, there are several types of exercise for people with high blood pressure.
1. Cardiovascular exercise, or aerobic exercise, can help lower blood pressure and make your heart stronger. Examples include walking, jogging, jumping rope, cycling (motionless or outdoor), cross-country skiing, skating, rowing, high or low impact aerobics, swimming, and water aerobics.
2. Strength training builds strong muscles that help you burn more calories throughout the day. It’s also great for your joints and bones.
3. Stretching makes you more flexible, helps you move better, and helps prevent injury.
4. Heating. Warming up for 5 to 10 minutes helps your body move and helps prevent injury.
5. Increase the intensity. Don’t overdo it. You can still talk to someone while exercising. But if you can sing, increase it a little to make sure you get the most out of your practice.
6. Chill. After you finish exercising, don’t stop suddenly. Just slow down for a few minutes. This is especially important for someone with high blood pressure. (Farhan Dhika)
