My doctor says my blood pressure is too high and that I should exercise to
lose weight. Which exercises are the best to help me lower my blood
pressure?

Thong: Your doctor's advice on losing weight is spot on; as you lower
your levels of body fat, your blood pressure should decrease.
Additionally, the exercise itself is also beneficial for
lowering blood pressure by suppressing the excitability of your central
nervous system, causing your body to release stress hormones in smaller
quantities.
As far as the best exercises go, performing exercises that
provide cardiovascular benefit, i.e., make your breathing labored while
performing them, is most beneficial.
If you've never exercised before, it's a good idea to start
out slowly by walking 30 minutes a day, progressing to other forms of low-
impact cardiovascular benefits of the circuit as well as the muscular
benefits of the strength training.
