Q: Will Aerobic Exercise Lower Blood Pressure?

My bp is like 122/90. Not real high yet, but high enough to get my attention. I'm wondering if I were to start doing aerobic workouts for say 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week, would that lower my bp?

Yes of course it will unless you're extremely out of shape or on speed. Lifting weights will also help and you shouldn't just do one or the other. You need anarobic and aerobic. You'll see faster results and get your bp down much quicker.

My doctor told me doing aerobic exercise is much more important than doing anarobics.

Your doctor is an fool. It's proven, why do you think arnold got back from heart surgery so quickly and got pumped to do t3? He was also on roids for 15 years and drank pretty heavily... Weight lifting helps everything as well, even though I don't think it's as important as cardio(that just focuses on weight loss, heart and blood pressure). If your doctor said no weight lifting he's either indian(they're against it) or he thinks you might have an adverse reaction because of your fitness level. I'm not even talking about lifting heavy trying to be christian bale in batman, just start out light, do 15 minutes of lifting, 30 to 40 minutes of cardio and your bp will drop like crazy. Your doctor mustn't have been an athlete or cared about nutrition biology or physical ed.

Hmm...
Hypertension24 said "on speed. "... What kind of speed... Isn't adderall a speed.... So since I take adderall (add purpose) but I also run like everyday.... That means I still could have higher than normal bp and hr??
