Exercise lowers blood pressure

Hallo again

I must admit that I have been quiet for the last few days, but I am still training. One day I do power walking, and the next day I do light weight training.

Unfortunately I have inflammation in my right shoulder and the doctor has ordered me to rest the shoulder. I guess I have to do more ab training, alternated witht the power walking. Cross traing makes it more exciting.

One day, while I was lecturing at my ex-college, my blood pressure shot up to 160/8o, after a heavy argument with unruly, rude stuents. The doctor wanted to put me on chronic medication immediately. I refused.  I continued with brisk walking. My blood pressure dropped to 130/80 again which is ok for a 50 year old!

The other day I went to doctor and my blood pressure is now 110/80. Not bad for a 50 year old! It just shows the valuye of exercising and fitness. Keep on going!

Whatever exercise or training you are doing, keep on doing that!

Greetings

PS

I am busy with a health and fitness website, which will be uploaded within the next few days!

Exercise lowers blood pressure

Hallo agaiin

I have been quiet for a few days, but I am still going strong.

I can see and feel the benefits of being fit. All the years my blood pressure has been 130/80. One day, after an altercation with unruly, rude students at my ex-college, my blood pressure shot up to 160/80. The doctor wanted to put me on chronic blood pressure treatment immediately. i refused. I rather started exercising. My blood pressure returned to normal. And now it is even lower than before.

It just go to show that exercising and being fit does make a difference. keep going!
