If you were told to do more exercise to lower your blood pressure, you might think you’d need break out you running gear or hit the weights. But one of us (Jamie) recently published research that found exercises that you hold in a static position, such as planks and wall sits, are actually the best way to reduce blood pressure.
This kind of “isometric” exercise involves contracting a specific muscle or muscle group and holding it, so the length of the muscle doesn’t change throughout the exercise.
But lower blood pressure is only one of the benefits of doing this type of exercise.
1. They improve heart health
Jamie’s recent work looked at 270 randomized controlled trials involving a total of over 15,000 participants. It found that the best way to lower blood pressure was to perform an average of three isometric sessions per week.
