- Simple isometric exercises, including wall sits, offer a natural strategy to lower blood pressure
- Out of multiple forms of physical activity, isometric exercise came out on top as “the most effective mode in reducing both systolic and diastolic blood pressure”
- Broken down to individual exercises, wall squats (isometric) were the most effective for reducing systolic blood pressure while running (aerobic) was most effective for reducing diastolic blood pressure
- About eight minutes of isometric training three times a week may be enough to significantly lower blood pressure
- Wall squats, planks, glute bridge and the overhead hold are examples of simple isometric exercises you can do virtually anywhere
