Absolutely, well explained...about 6 months ago i went for check up 3 times and my BP was ranging 142/90...Dr advised me to start medication, watch on what am eating and do alittle more exercise...i didnt take medicine but strictly adhered to what i was eating and embarked on high intensity training...basically running for 45min to 1hr...3mnths later went back for check up, my BP now is 123/78.....also i lost so.e weight from 83kgs to 76kgs..and my body feel so great now.....
İn many cases,ofcourse there is exceptions..medication is for those who doesnt want to change the life style and insist on eating garbage..i mean who are not open for any improvement but medication
@@Heisenberg991-m1i Unfortunately I used to agree with you... I had the same BP as the poster, about 143/90. But I was a healthy weight, ate pretty healthy, ran, did yoga. I was also only 40 years old!! So I refused the meds, ate even healthier, ran even more, because meds are for slobs and old people, right?? I wound up having a minor heart attack, and narrowly missing permanent kidney damage, a common side effect of uncontrolled high blood pressure. I'm now happily taking my meds, and absolutely kicking myself for being too proud and ignorant to recognize that sometimes meds are necessary regardless of lifestyle.
@@Kelly_Ben First of all I wish you a better health for the rest of your life. No, I do agree with you.. Also I made a exception for those people at my first comment.. Medicines are must when its necessary for people regardless the age
Hello me again. 1 year later, I am a health coach for men with risk factors for heart disease and this is the best explanation ever for how exercise decreases blood pressure. Truly a masterpiece of an educational video. Thank you!
@@richardlawson6787but lifting weights will increase bone and muscle mass, making your body more efficient at burning fat. A combination of all those things is best.
@@denissemedina4619 Recent research suggest one should 3 days of aerobics (also walking/jogging) and 2 days of anaerobics, but one should avoid exercises like pulling the weight above your head and planks or plank-like exercises.
I take a pill for BP and to lower my heart beat, but I am also on my exercise bike for one hour each day for cardio vascular purposes. I'm 89 years old and doing fine.
On 12th feb i went to the doctor to get myself checked as my head was spinning and having headache. My bp was 170/120 .i am only 25 yo. I started walking everyday and cut my sodium intake. Two weeks later again i we to the doc and readings were 164/108. And now he prescribed me medication. I went to him on 28th and readings were still 160/98. The medication wasn't showing much effect. On last Wednesday i saw this video and started running every morning and evening. Like walking plus Jogging altogether. And the day i walked first, my bp in the evening was 128/90. Today its been 6 days since i started Jogging regularly and i went to the doctor again. Today my readings were 112/82. M really thankful to you doctor, your video helped me a lot in explanation how exercise works in lowering bp and when i tell exercise works, it works more wonder than medication.
You do not want to exert yourself when your bp is high , 1st get it down with foods and herbs google it then exercise . Dark chocolate and red wine is tremendous for HBP .
My doctor couldn't explain this to me as well as you did. I'm 39 and was diagnosed with hypertension. C-19 messed up quite a few things for me and I've been trying to pinpoint the cause of my high BP. This video explained it all in 10min. Something my GP couldn't do for the entire 30min I was in his consultation room. Thank you.
This makes so much sense, I have slightly higher blood pressure than usual but not to the point I need meds but I’ve been exercising for 3 weeks and I took my blood pressure twice today and it was normal. I was amazed
@@richardlawson6787 Worth mentioning that if you have HBP then you should walk/jog first before actually running that long for large periods of time. Someone mentioned to me once that you can actually divide it like: 10 minutes walking 10 minutes jogging 10-5 minutes running, because running is actually harder on you general heart. You might want to don't run some days, if you feel like it is too much you could also run for like a minute, slow down and wait and run again. Also, should probably do it while under the sun, because several people can get BP issues from lack of Nitric Oxide or Vitamin D from not exposing themselves to sunlight, which can also lead to anxiety/depression or both, go out even if it is cloudy. Clouds don't really block light that hard. "But, skin cancer..." Sunscreen, if you have a darker skin color, unironically, your risk will be considerably lower so you could say "nah" and don't use it. I'm not joking. Still, take precautions if you must but don't stress over it, remember that cancer can happen because of a random bodily error you can't control. Everyone needs a little raw sun every once in a while.
Doctor, I salute you, this is the best explanation of how blood pressure works. I'm a nursing student I must share this with my class mates, awesome work and thank you for all the work you put into this, definitely worth it!!!
Extremely informative! Since I have stopped exercising my BP has gone from 130/85 to 150/95. Now that I've cut back on carbs and started exercising again. Its on its way back down. Once of the best informative videos about health I have ever watched.
Thanks mate for the information, I’m 184/120. I’m a veteran and find it hard to leave the house but I’ll cut out the piss and give it a good go, I’m 37 and this is the unfittest I’ve ever been. God bless doc and keep up the good work. I’ll be that alpha male again
@richardlawson6787 one meal is not good at all especially for so much work wtf. You need a huge meal if you want calories to fuel yourself or protein to build muscle
Very good explanation,but in that case blood pressure drops just temporarily,later after some time it comes back as it was. The same as your drink hot water few glasses or take a hot bath or eat plenty food or take even very cold shower and etcetera,, all this things can reduce blood pressure but for some short time only.
I came here because I did a long, intense bike ride (very high intensity in bursts at the beginning and then I was worn out so a long slow ride home) and I decided to instantly check my BP, thinking it would be through the roof, but it was the best BP result I think I ever had. So thank you for explaining why that happened!
My specialist physician applauded my exercise habit as he said that fitness has about a 20% influence on overall health. This video explains why Thanks
Thank you so much. A clear, quick and precise explanation of a subject that has recently become of interest to me as I get older. Greatly appreciated Dr. Mike👍
Today is May 30/22, I was tested positive for Covid 2 days ago. My blood pressure shot up to 154/102 and wouldn’t normalized. After watching your video, I rode my Bicycle around the block for about 15 minutes. I waited for about 45 minutes and then retested my blood pressure, to my astonishment, the reading was 114/81 and eventually went lower to 103/76 thanks much sir for your advice. The rest of the Covid symptoms lasted for only 2 days. May the lord bless you.
Great video and very interesting. Can I bring up a concern? There are people in the comments section here offering advice and others enthusiastically and gratefully taking advice on the control of blood pressure. That advice may or may not be valuable. Please remember that the person giving the advice is not necessarily a health professional and their advice maybe based on just their own opinion or even worse some faulty information gained elsewhere. Just because they are commenting on a reputable site run by medical professionals doesn't change the fact it is still just a TH-cam comments section. If you have high blood pressure get advice from a health professional not a TH-cam comments section.
Excellent Dr.Mike !!! I agree 100% with you. I am flabagasted that many Drs.dont agree or know this simple advice. !! I have high BP and I have discovered this on my own....and I'm not a Dr. Thank you for exposing the truth. Kind Regs John.
Thank you Dr. Mike for this video! I have high blood pressure and I was hesitant to exercise because I feared that exercising would make my hypertension worse. Now, I understand how exercise could help lower my BP afterwards with the hormones relaxing my arteries.
Also eat a diet high in naturally occurring Nitrates, like Beets/ Beetroot helps, as the body turns nitrate into nitric oxide... I have beetroot/ beetroot juice several times a week.
This was one of the best explanations of anything i’ve ever seen. My doctor says I don’t have hypertension, as my blood pressure is not consistently elevated but i’ve been having occasional high readings. I knew exercise helps to lower BP but i never knew how. Thank you!
I do agree with the doctors but every one may have a different physiology at specific illnesses, family genetics and so on. Of course, running, cycling, walking make you feel much healthier....but for some people it is not enough, unfortunately. Thanks for your kind help on the subject. God bless us with health, peace and faith
Wow, that's an incredible explanation, I've just been diagnosed with extremely high blood pressure and have been prescribed tablets. This has given me the confidence to exercise in order to bring my blood pressure down and keep it within the safe parameters. I pray I'm not on these tablets for longer than necessary. In 3 days, my bloody pressure has gone from borderline stroke and hearts levels to within 10 points of the safe parameters. I'll continue my dietary changes and begin to exercise. Thank you👍
@fact.girl123 You need to do other stuff too. Lose weight (if needed), stop smoking, no alcohol, lower sugar and don't go crazy with sodium, magnesium and potassium are a must for the heart, get GOOD SLEEP! No less than 7 hours of quality sleep. People miss the sleep part. It's the best blood pressure medication. Look up the sleep scientist Matthew Walker.
What an excellent explanation... I asked myself should I do high impact training with borderline high blood pressure... answer yes get on with it! No more excuses. Thanks

This is by far the best explanation of this I have ever encountered!
Thanks so much for such a clear explanation. I am a senior citizen who used to have normal blood pressure, but as I've become somewhat passive, now my blood pressure is up. GRR
Brilliant!!! My BP was 198/70/61 went on the cross trainer (after 3 days of rest, as I was in a state of general sickness) came inside and it's 159/70/62. 👍

Finaly someone that explains HOW bloodpressure goes down with exercise. I have ladible high blood pressure (meaning its occasionaly high with extreme peaks during activity). And I am scared to exercise too much even if doctors have declared my heart to be healthy. Maybe now I dare to trust my body and ask a bit more from it. After all I survive some 'exercise' during work as well with or without the peaks. Thank you once again! Ps; my bloodpressure is getting better and better, the average always was in normal range but I now mostly stay in high normal during the day when active (and 110/70 when at rest).
I’m going to tell you about five common ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen that can cure high blood pressure. 1) Quercetin - A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has reported that a 200 mg supplement of quercetin increased levels of nitric acid in the blood, thus dilating blood vessels and lowering blood pressure. But we saved the best for last. 2) Celery - A recent study based in China, published by the National Institute of Health (NIH), hails celery as a great natural option for reducing blood pressure. More than 87% of the participants showed a reduction in blood pressure after consuming celery regularly. 3) Melatonin - It’s been used for years as a natural sleeping medicine with no side effects. But surprisingly, an Italian research study published in the American Journal of Hypertension shows it also brings blood pressure down while you sleep. 4) Hawthorn - Hawthorn extract and hawthorn berries have been shown to have very good blood pressure-lowering effects, almost equivalent to prescription drugs. The best thing about hawthorn is that it not only lowers blood pressure, but also strengthens heart muscles. 5) Pomegranate juice - This elixir has enough medicinal value to earn the name ‘wonder fruit.’ Scottish researchers from Queen Margaret University have identified how amazing it works for lowering blood pressure.The most effective, quickest and easiest way to lower blood pressure naturally are 3 easy blood pressure exercises.

One of the best videos out there! Thanks a lot for teaching me how I can fight my early high blood pressure symptoms. So when every body says gym, gym, and gym. They are right.
Mental anxiety and stress raise blood pressure to a chronic state as well despite a good physical conditioning regime. So, take care of the mind through meditation and controlled relaxational pursuits as well to safeguard yourself in more respects.
I started following the Forwago workout sessions day after day and it hasn't just changed my body, but positively impacted my mental health and made me a new me..
Absolutely, well explained. I have watched many videos on this subject but first time I understood the functions and now determine to do exercise no matter what comes up. Thank you. It also make me think that the creator ( God whatever you call) hasn’t missed a tiny things in our body’s function so well and in sync.
Changed the batteries on a blood pressure device for someone yesterday and then tested on myself. Omg, so high 138/74. I tested myself a few times over the rest of the day and this morning similar results. Looking at some lifestyle changes. Gonna see the doc too
I wanted to watch a 2-3 minute video on high BP. But this 10 min dint feel like 10 mins.....so much clearity now...I can almost explain it to someone else..and ofcourse continue the discontinued cross fit or body weight exercise tht I used to do at home. Thank u very much doctors
As a person that faces near-syncope symptoms, I can say that going from hypertension to normotensive levels is a bad experience for me. No one could ever figure out what was going on but today I tried to simply start a workout and oh boy! I feel so much better
Thanks for this amazing video. I just came back from a run. My BP was 150/110 before came back and checked now it’s 120/88. This happened to me yesterday too. So decided to research what’s going on. Very well explained for the layman or at least those who have high BP and research these things.
WOW!!! Cause I never got it at all. Like my pressure would go up exercising, so how does that help me dealing with hypertension. But he explained that perfectly. Thanks man! I appreciate it.
Brilliant! I found this today with my new Omron M7. It seemed contradictory at first but the video explains perfectly. However, how does this reduce hypertension / high blood pressure at rest long term?
You Sir are a great teacher!! Thank you for explaining this so everyone can understand! After having Covid and relapsing my energy level was down then came the holidays and I quit going to the gym. I thought it would make my blood pressure go up!! Thanks for setting me straight and now I know I need to get back to the gym!!!!
A big smile on my face after watching this video! Dear doc, can you please tell whats the case of exercise in nephrotic syndrome? I am a motivated guy, been looking for an answer since long, and this seems to be the right place.
Thank you! I'm trying to get my head around what exercise does for blood pressure because I'm trying to get my BP down naturally and your talk is very comprehensive yet easy to understand.
Great explanation Dr. You have put my mind at rest. My blood pressure is sometime bordering on high even though I have never smoked, am not over weight and get plenty of exercise. Thank you.
Thank you so much, I have not exercised much during this pandemic time and i have notice in my blood pressure go up, now that you have explained this im looking forward to restarting my exercise journey with a better dietary plan.
Thank you Dr for this clear explanation. I just came back from my first sports session after my 160/100 bp measurement. I am more determined to do sports. I now see the relationship between sports and hypertension.
Thank you for this video. We are studying the vascular system and exercising and school. This really helped and made a lot more sense than what my teacher was talking about.
What an incredible presentation. I’m implementing this right now. And I’m going to watch it again and save it for future reference. And I’m a physician. This was awesome!!
After watching this video I fee dopamine surge and heart beat faster because of the priceless info . for me it's like an aahaa moment. Doc your explanation reminds me about the great explanator Richard Feynman.
I've never understood how exercising could help Decrease blood pressure, as that seemed Counterintuitive, but you have explained the process so clearly. Many thanks.. I'm off to the gym!! 🏋🚴💪
Don't need a gym...running is free...chinups are free...situps are free...pushups are free...every body thinks I spend hours in a gym and are shocked when I tell them how little I do..probably better built than most gym goers
@@Jesusisvictorious_ three mile run five days a week...situps once per day as many as I can do ..pullups...pushups..one set each as many as I can knock out every third day...that's it....going to a gym encourages over training...if I have to drive thirty mins to a gym I'm not gonna stop at one set...nobody but steroid users are growing on ten sets a body part two or three times a week ..stimulate the muscle then give it plenty of time to recover...take this advise and just watch...I've experimented and it works big time...get on creatine and hmb and ashwagnda ..forget protein...eating tons of protein impedes muscle growth and turns into fat.
Thank you for this!!!! I was so worried that since gaining weight (due to obviously not eating a proper diet nor exercising ) my increased BP being 140/90 was pretty scary. I kept getting anxiety when working out afraid that it would make it worse. Clearly psyching myself out.did some intensive cardio and I felt so good. What a relief!😅
I've known HIIT could help lower blood pressure but never understood why. Your video was very informative and answered that question. Thank you very much for the information. I now have greater confidence my current workout routine is on the right track to help lower my BP!
Wonderful video... I would argue that proper use of a sauna is the treatment for this person.. Activating stress to relieve stress could be a method that begins with no stress 😊 and be maintainable
Absolutely, well explained...about 6 months ago i went for check up 3 times and my BP was ranging 142/90...Dr advised me to start medication, watch on what am eating and do alittle more exercise...i didnt take medicine but strictly adhered to what i was eating and embarked on high intensity training...basically running for 45min to 1hr...3mnths later went back for check up, my BP now is 123/78.....also i lost so.e weight from 83kgs to 76kgs..and my body feel so great now.....

Thanks for explaining the science behind something that doctors advise us all the time..
Yeah he has a great way in explaining medical science
Brilliant!!! My BP was 198/70/61 went on the cross trainer (after 3 days of rest, as I was in a state of general sickness) came inside and it's 159/70/62. 👍
Get on hawthorn...get on pine bark extract...do a daily run
WOW Im Blown Away! A truly Remarkable Doctor and Prevention Coach.
SALUTE 🙏
My goodness, excellent explanation. I was starting to think you forgot about the hyper tension, and right then you wrapped it up.
Best explanation I ever heard I'm ready to go to the gym right now because I have high blood pressure thank you so much!
Very well explained. Motivates me to exercise regularly since I'm a border hypertension case.
This gave me so much hope. I just got wacked with hypertension and I didn't know what to do for exercise. Thank you so much!
This was an excellent lecture, I'm motivated to exercise a bit more in order to keep a stable BP.
nice video mere ghr k pass ek anti rehty thy onko bhout time s bp ke problem thi bo exercise krny lgey or sath m ono nay planet ayurveda ka ashwagandha powder use kiya ab onki low bp ke problem bilkul thek ho chuki hai thanks to planet ayurveda
Finaly someone that explains HOW bloodpressure goes down with exercise. I have ladible high blood pressure (meaning its occasionaly high with extreme peaks during activity). And I am scared to exercise too much even if doctors have declared my heart to be healthy. Maybe now I dare to trust my body and ask a bit more from it. After all I survive some 'exercise' during work as well with or without the peaks. Thank you once again! Ps; my bloodpressure is getting better and better, the average always was in normal range but I now mostly stay in high normal during the day when active (and 110/70 when at rest).
Thanks Dr. Mike , I'm paying for a anatomy class and I don't understand my professor but you break this down much better
Brilliant explanation. I love it. Be blessed.
I’m going to tell you about five common ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen that can cure high blood pressure. 1) Quercetin - A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has reported that a 200 mg supplement of quercetin increased levels of nitric acid in the blood, thus dilating blood vessels and lowering blood pressure. But we saved the best for last. 2) Celery - A recent study based in China, published by the National Institute of Health (NIH), hails celery as a great natural option for reducing blood pressure. More than 87% of the participants showed a reduction in blood pressure after consuming celery regularly. 3) Melatonin - It’s been used for years as a natural sleeping medicine with no side effects. But surprisingly, an Italian research study published in the American Journal of Hypertension shows it also brings blood pressure down while you sleep. 4) Hawthorn - Hawthorn extract and hawthorn berries have been shown to have very good blood pressure-lowering effects, almost equivalent to prescription drugs. The best thing about hawthorn is that it not only lowers blood pressure, but also strengthens heart muscles. 5) Pomegranate juice - This elixir has enough medicinal value to earn the name ‘wonder fruit.’ Scottish researchers from Queen Margaret University have identified how amazing it works for lowering blood pressure.The most effective, quickest and easiest way to lower blood pressure naturally are 3 easy blood pressure exercises.

"Welcome back Kotta" moment... Those good old days... Soaking it all up like a sponge. Thanks.
Excellent explanation, I think it’s the best of all.
One of the best videos out there!
Thanks a lot for teaching me how I can fight my early high blood pressure symptoms.
So when every body says gym, gym, and gym. They are right.
This translates into pure Motivation!
I agree
Thank u I'm following ur lecture from Nigeria 🇳🇬
I always tell patients to exercise to decrease their BP but always got confused as to where the actual decrease is produced. THANK YOU!
Mental anxiety and stress raise blood pressure to a chronic state as well despite a good physical conditioning regime. So, take care of the mind through meditation and controlled relaxational pursuits as well to safeguard yourself in more respects.
Very true ! Well said!
As i experiencing tsk
I started following the Forwago workout sessions day after day and it hasn't just changed my body, but positively impacted my mental health and made me a new me..
This is incredible. I was just speechless. No doctors explained me
I hear more potassium in your diet will help also, 1 cucumber with lemon in a bullet mixer will also help
Absolutely brilliant. I’m getting my bike out. Best explanation I’ve seen. Thank you. 🇬🇧
Absolutely, well explained. I have watched many videos on this subject but first time I understood the functions and now determine to do exercise no matter what comes up. Thank you. It also make me think that the creator ( God whatever you call) hasn’t missed a tiny things in our body’s function so well and in sync.
Changed the batteries on a blood pressure device for someone yesterday and then tested on myself. Omg, so high 138/74. I tested myself a few times over the rest of the day and this morning similar results. Looking at some lifestyle changes. Gonna see the doc too
That’s not even high
Fascinating. This is another reason why you shouldn’t eat right before you work out... cuz your gut isn’t getting the blood to process it!
I was so stressed out to find the exact answerr and i found your video! This is awesome! Thank you
Thank you, I can't believe how much I understood from your explanation, just so great.
I wanted to watch a 2-3 minute video on high BP. But this 10 min dint feel like 10 mins.....so much clearity now...I can almost explain it to someone else..and ofcourse continue the discontinued cross fit or body weight exercise tht I used to do at home. Thank u very much doctors
As a person that faces near-syncope symptoms, I can say that going from hypertension to normotensive levels is a bad experience for me. No one could ever figure out what was going on but today I tried to simply start a workout and oh boy! I feel so much better
Thanks for this amazing video. I just came back from a run. My BP was 150/110 before came back and checked now it’s 120/88. This happened to me yesterday too. So decided to research what’s going on. Very well explained for the layman or at least those who have high BP and research these things.
It’s called post exercise hypotension. It happens to me also. Unfortunately it goes back up after awhile
@@TrunkShoesThat's why you keep moving throughout the day!
WOW!!! Cause I never got it at all. Like my pressure would go up exercising, so how does that help me dealing with hypertension. But he explained that perfectly. Thanks man! I appreciate it.
Thats definitely the best explanation on the cardio system I’ve seen on TH-cam. Great job 👏
You’re an informative and passionate teacher/Doctor. Thanks so much.
as a chinese student you help me alooooot, no one explained it in chinese, you saved me.
Brilliant! I found this today with my new Omron M7. It seemed contradictory at first but the video explains perfectly. However, how does this reduce hypertension / high blood pressure at rest long term?
You Sir are a great teacher!! Thank you for explaining this so everyone can understand!
After having Covid and relapsing my energy level was down then came the holidays and I quit going to the gym. I thought it would make my blood pressure go up!! Thanks for setting me straight and now I know I need to get back to the gym!!!!
You are incredible at explaining how this works. Thank you so much for helping so many people learn and understand physio!
Just about Perfectly explained. Can't really see how anyone could improve on that. Thank you, you have helped me.
I have hardly every seen such a good teacher - exceptional! Thanks
Excellent presentation. Such gusto as well as great info 👍
A big smile on my face after watching this video! Dear doc, can you please tell whats the case of exercise in nephrotic syndrome?
I am a motivated guy, been looking for an answer since long, and this seems to be the right place.
A Masterpiece of teaching! Thank you.
Too kind!
Thank you! I'm trying to get my head around what exercise does for blood pressure because I'm trying to get my BP down naturally and your talk is very comprehensive yet easy to understand.
Great explanation Dr. You have put my mind at rest. My blood pressure is sometime bordering on high even though I have never smoked, am not over weight and get plenty of exercise. Thank you.
The perfect explanation I was looking for to understand how exercise lowers Blood Pressure.
Thank you
Thank you so much, I have not exercised much during this pandemic time and i have notice in my blood pressure go up, now that you have explained this im looking forward to restarting my exercise journey with a better dietary plan.
Me too- gd luck
Me too
Thank you Dr for this clear explanation. I just came back from my first sports session after my 160/100 bp measurement. I am more determined to do sports. I now see the relationship between sports and hypertension.
Thank you for this video. We are studying the vascular system and exercising and school. This really helped and made a lot more sense than what my teacher was talking about.
Thank you for sharing this knowledge and excellent detailed diagram which l did not know. Blessings 💫
What an incredible presentation. I’m implementing this right now. And I’m going to watch it again and save it for future reference. And I’m a physician. This was awesome!!
Wow! That was an amazing explanation of how it all works! Thanks. Now I understand it much better. Thank you!
After watching this video I fee dopamine surge and heart beat faster because of the priceless info . for me it's like an aahaa moment. Doc your explanation reminds me about the great explanator Richard Feynman.
That's such an awesome explanation. Thank you so much!
I do really love the way Doc you explain blood pressure. It very simple to understand....!!!!!
Thanks for such a thorough and clear explanation. A reference video for certain!
Thank you for this awesome video and explanation.
Excellent explanation! I’m a visual/verbal learner so this was spot on for me to get a clear understanding. I needed this in a major way!
Great job doc
I've never understood how exercising could help Decrease blood pressure, as that seemed Counterintuitive, but you have explained the process so clearly. Many thanks.. I'm off to the gym!! 🏋🚴💪
Don't need a gym...running is free...chinups are free...situps are free...pushups are free...every body thinks I spend hours in a gym and are shocked when I tell them how little I do..probably better built than most gym goers
@@richardlawson6787Interesting! What's ur workout routine?
@@Jesusisvictorious_ three mile run five days a week...situps once per day as many as I can do ..pullups...pushups..one set each as many as I can knock out every third day...that's it....going to a gym encourages over training...if I have to drive thirty mins to a gym I'm not gonna stop at one set...nobody but steroid users are growing on ten sets a body part two or three times a week ..stimulate the muscle then give it plenty of time to recover...take this advise and just watch...I've experimented and it works big time...get on creatine and hmb and ashwagnda ..forget protein...eating tons of protein impedes muscle growth and turns into fat.
Love this guy's energy and knowledge on the subject!
Thanks! 😊
Thank you for this!!!!
I was so worried that since gaining weight (due to obviously not eating a proper diet nor exercising ) my increased BP being 140/90 was pretty scary. I kept getting anxiety when working out afraid that it would make it worse. Clearly psyching myself out.did some intensive cardio and I felt so good. What a relief!😅
I've known HIIT could help lower blood pressure but never understood why. Your video was very informative and answered that question.
Thank you very much for the information. I now have greater confidence my current workout routine is on the right track to help lower my BP!
Wonderful video...
I would argue that proper use of a sauna is the treatment for this person..
Activating stress to relieve stress could be a method that begins with no stress 😊 and be maintainable
