In a busy live we often forget about the important things. And even if we remember to do something, we just can’t fit it into our schedule.

Maybe you even have time to do this essential thing to lower your blood pressure but you just didn’t quite prioritize it. It takes will power and persistence.

Oh, did I forget to tell you what you forgot to do to lower your blood pressure?

So what is it that is so important to lower blood pressure? The one thing most people forget to do or don’t prioritize (maybe not you but most people)?

Exercise – Working out – Get your heart pumping!

And most of all, to get in good enough shape to be able to do a daily power workout.

Because ideally you should be able to do a high intensity workout for 15-20 minutes 3-4 times per week. It’s much more effective than going for a 30 minute daily walk.

Here is a high intensity, anti-aging exercise I taught in an article few weeks ago.

The reason I said you “forgot” to do this exercise is that all of us have 15-20 minutes 3-4 times a week to spare. It doesn’t matter how busy you are. And many people of course do and still have high blood pressure. But it can make a tremendous difference.

Studies have shown it takes about one month for your body to get most of the blood pressure benefits of working out. And the results can be even better than those of blood pressure medications. An 8-10 point drop in blood pressure is normal for someone going from out of shape to better shape.

And since working out like this boosts your energy, you’ll be more focused and get more done with the rest of your time. You’ll sleep better and wake up refreshed and ready for the day.

[adrotate group=”5″]One of the richest and most fun billionaires – Richard Branson, creator of the Virgin brand- was once asked what the most important thing is to succeed in business. His answer was: “…working out. It clears your head and sharpens your focus.”

And I’ll add that it slows down the aging process and lowers your blood pressure.

However, if you’re out of shape, you’ll not begin with high intensity exercise as described above. You’ll begin with 30 minutes of walking a few times per day. You’ll take the steps instead of the elevator, etc. But that should only be a stepping stone to move on to more intense exercises.

If you’re suffering arthritis or other mobility related diseases, walking with intensity can be difficult. But you can use the same concept while swimming. So you begin with swimming slowly and once you’ve built up stamina, go for the high intensity.

So why is it so important for high blood pressure to get your heart pumping?

The main reason is that by strengthening your hearth, it will pump blood more easily throughout the body. This takes less effort and therefore lowers blood pressure.

Your skeletal muscles are designed to help the heart pump blood to the parts of the body your muscles control. When you don’t move your muscles around enough, they become somewhat dormant and the heart has to do all the hard work. Exercising wakes up your muscles and eases the pressure on your heart.

When you exercise, all kind of hormones are released all around your body. These hormones stimulate muscles, arteries and nerves throughout the body that are dormant when you don’t exercise. Now all parts of your system will work together to make you healthy and bring your blood pressure down.

Going from out of shape to into shape is like waking up from a coma.

Now the Flip Side!

When you exercise you raise the pressure on your whole system. Your metabolism increases, your heart pumps faster, your blood runs faster, you’re sharper and more alert. This is all good!

The real benefits to your blood pressure, however, come afterwards. Since your system has experienced the “high,” it can now bring your blood pressure down to “low.” When you relax after the workout, your body relaxes and your blood pressure is brought down to normal throughout the day.

Our Blood Pressure Exercise Program includes three simple exercises that are designed to bring you directly into this “low blood pressure stage.” They help almost everyone within a week and sometimes even the very first day.

These are not typical workout exercises but instead more relaxation-creating exercises. It’s therefore very good to use high intensity exercises in combination with our High Blood Pressure Exercises.
