Immediate Effects Of Exercise.
When you start exercise your heart and circulatory system go into overdrive. Your muscles work harder and demand oxygen. Oxygen is delivered via your circulatory system and your heart rate and blood pressure increase. So is what your saying is that exercise is bad for hypertension? Not in the least!
The effect of exercise to lower blood pressure naturally.
If you were to magically exercise 24 hours a day, seven days a week for months, then yes blood pressure could become an issue. But you can not. So the temporary elevation in heart rate and blood pressure does not cause any harm to you.
In fact over time this exercise actually works to increase flexibility of of the arteries and even to widen them. Because of this effects of high blood pressure will decrease over time. This makes exercise one of the best ways for defeating hypertension, bar none.
Is it easy?
In a word, yes. You do not need to push yourself to the limit to get benefits from regular exercise. Just like you do not need to starve yourself and live off of the "three nuts and a grapefruit" fad diet to eat properly. The key is regular exercise. If all you can manage is a 30 minute walk through the park, well that is a darn good place to start. The best exercises incorporate a minimum of 20 minutes of aerobic exercise. 30 minutes is good to strive for. (It generally takes about 15-18 minutes of aerobic exercise before you begin to burn fat.) So you are not really going for strength training here, more fast walking or jogging. Or even that crazy "Gazelle" thing.
