Those that feel they need to run a marathon to lower their blood pressure can relax with some good news from researchers at Louisiana University.

In a new study, the scientists discovered that moderate, low-impact exercise like walking and riding on a stationary bike is enough to reduce high blood pressure.

The total amount of exercise that the group did amounted to less than 2.5 hours per week and lowered systolic blood pressure by 11 points, only slightly less than a group that worked out for nearly 5 hours per week.
