"2-Minute Wall Sit Exercise Lowers Blood Pressure and Reduces Heart Attack Risk, Study Shows"

A study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine suggests that isometric exercises, particularly wall sits, may be more effective at reducing blood pressure than other forms of exercise. Just eight minutes of isometric exercise, three times a week, can lead to a healthy reduction in blood pressure. Wall sits were found to be the most effective exercise for lowering blood pressure, with a routine of holding for two minutes, resting for two minutes, and repeating four times resulting in significant reductions. Isometric exercises work by temporarily reducing blood flow to muscles, prompting blood vessels to relax and effectively lowering blood pressure. Adding isometric exercises like wall sits to one's daily routine may complement existing exercise and help reduce the need for medication.
