"2-Minute Wall Sit: The Simple Exercise to Lower Blood Pressure"

TL;DR Summary
Wall sits, a form of isometric exercise, have been found to effectively reduce blood pressure, with just eight minutes of exercise three times a week resulting in a significant drop. This simple bodyweight exercise can be done anywhere and involves holding a wall squat for two minutes, resting for two minutes, and repeating for a total of four times with breaks in between. Isometric exercises are efficient at lowering blood pressure because they temporarily reduce blood flow to the muscles, prompting blood vessels to relax and effectively reduce blood pressure.
