If a person suffers from obesity it is necessary that he likes exercise, which is varied, fun and low impact joint.

arterial hypertension Dr. José Rolando Flores LázaroAerobic and anaerobic exercise, basis for lowering hypertension (Part 2) To decrease hypertension , a sports doctor basically recommends 2 types of exercise and each has a different effect. The first is aerobic exercise which is a continuous activity which has at least a duration of 2 to 3 minutes and is dosed differently than the force. Four characteristics are required: frequency, intensity, duration time and type of exercise.Frequency refers to days per week, hypertension requires the highest frequencies, ie more days per week, if it is possible that the person performs 5 to 6 days of scheduled exercise and that the seventh day is active but not is programmed, is not sedentary. At least you have to complete 150 minutes in all that accumulated week of aerobic exercise and, according to your possibilities, tastes and preferences, the type of exercise is adapted so that it does not cause skeletal muscle damage. If you have obesity you need to like the exercise, which is varied, fun and low impact joint.

Recommendations to avoid high blood pressure

In the case of the force exercise, it can be performed by external loads to the muscle group that is worked, which can be apparatuses with weights, the own weight of the person, as well as the leagues, or dumbbells or bars. You should do 12 to 15 repetitions of each exercise (the routine should include 8 to 12 exercises) trying to use most of the muscle groups and do it with a frequency of 3 days a week, on non-consecutive days.These 2 factors are going to be added so that the person can lower their blood pressure, but they should be defined by a specialist in sports medicine.
