Just one month of 30 minutes on the treadmill everyday

[UndertheOcean]

And my blood pressure is consistently 128/79 , It used to be around 137/93



Exercise DOES really work !!!


No need for BP medication now , I'm happy.

2. Quitting smoking will lower your blood pressure as well

I went to the doctor about a month ago and my blood pressure was bordering on high- something like 147 over 85. I recently quit smoking and had to go back to see the doctor. My blood pressure was 120 over 70.

3. I can't give up weed !

5. I think that it's the nicotine that makes BP go up

so you should be safe with weed from a BP perspective

6. That's right. Nicotine constricts blood vessels.

8. It is NOT the exercise; read about correlatrion and causation, idiot.

Kidding. Congratulations. The human body is amazing!

9. Good for you

If our gym didn't have TV's on the treadmill AND my iPod I would find it hard to stay on more than 15 minutes


At home at most I can do 15 minutes

Good for you. You clearly have a lot of determination and discipline.
