maybe for low to moderate BP but not if its chronic. Exercising with high BP is almost impossible and is dead set dangerous.
I'll be adding wall squats to my workout routine.
Wow thank you
Awesome video! I would have believed isometrics to be down the list. I partake in all the other types of exercises in various forms but will now include a couple of isometrics.
Walls quarts?????!!! Noon waaaaay 😮
incredible. i would say with my background and experience i would be able to guess this, but not even close, my order was essentially reserved lol
Very surprising. Thank you Dr.
Just be careful with HIIT, as it may negatively impact the heart valves. If you suffers from aortic aneurism, avoid isometric exercise because it may increase quite a lot the blood pressure,
Oomph! The study itself is very complex to even read, much less to examine the specific exercise protocols for common errors and fallacies in context of the results. For example, most studies of “cycling” are with ppl riding around the block on Sunday afternoon, not even commuting with a time/speed/effort limit, nor training with specific workout goals. Similarly, the setup for a quality resistance set involves the “punch in the gut” and isometric holds just prior to doing the primary resistance moves. Criticisms of this article along these lines may lead to throwing out the meta analysis and systematic review, and starting afresh with a batch of sport-specific high performance protocol workouts.
Dear Sir, I agree with everything you had mentioned but how does these translate for the entire day? Meaning you will get some relief for a few hours based on any form of working out will the numbers for DIA or S be low for the entire day?
What about AFib
Wall squats – great – you can even do this watching this really useful channel😅
Wonderful thanks, but at 75 I think holding a wall squat for 2 minutes might be pushing it. I'll build up to it.
So basically Tai Chi and Qichong is perfect for blood pressure.
Doctor, damn it, you are the man!
Thank you so much for this video.
Btw, I do planking: 2 minutes * 5 days.
Where would it rank?
Dang – That was one of the MOST CONCISE presentations of USEFUL INFORMATION I've ever seen by a YouTube Creator – especially on the topic of 'Lowering Blood Pressure'. Outstanding, Dr. Gil!
Brand new study!? Have we been conned all these years?.
I got isometric exercise. I chose this since it is known that doing the Valsalva maneuver instantly lowers blood pressure.
👍👍👍👍
The best exercise: The one you will do.
I expected that. Both results. Unfortunately, my issue isn't blood pressure…. yet and my lipid instincts are out of whack. lol
The Bullworker is my favourite isometric workout device. Tons of science to back it up but the secret is you need to use it consistently. I’m not affiliated in any way apart from having one when I was 17 and I just bought a new one this year at 66.
That was soooo counter-intuitive. I would imagine isometrics would increase BP because it "feels" more intense to hold.
This is why scientific studies are more important than what "common sense".
Precious information 👍🏻👍🏻
Jumping is THE best one😂
Thank you very useful for me 🏴🌈
Seems a bit hard to believe that isometrics are that good. Number 1 for both systolic and diastolic. Red lights going off and questioning methodology. Then look at the actual exercises and running is actually number one for diastolic. So yeah, I'll take those conclusions with a whole lot of salt.
Every 2 years I got to pass my dot physical. Which means 140/90 or less.
Best thing I've figured out is extremely fast walking, maybe 4 or 5 miles, and some home made aerobic stuff as often as possible in the week prior. Always seems to work.
Thoroughly enjoyed this upload… Thumbs up and a sub from me… Stay safe… Rico
