Thank you very much. I'm in my seventies and I must say I find your videos very instructive as well as beneficial. I especially like this exercise and will most certainly use it along with walking. I am a keen gardener and quite a few of these exercises are very beneficial in gardening and the two go well together. Keep up the good work, from New Zealand.
Another great exercise routine. I am 72 and overweight with high BP. I am walking 6500 steps a day (my max average) and doing these BP exercises. Between Mr. Harlow and my medical team, I am finding much improved health! TIP for my senior friends - get your teeth looked at too!
Has anyone tried these exercises and saw their blood pressure go down? I'm too lazy to try them but if some have seen improvements then I would definitely try them. My BP is borderline so need a bit of help. I should maybe add that I already play sports and weight training daily and sometimes twice daily. I find it hard to have enough time to do all these exercises 😂
Hi Will I found your channel on You Tube. I love the exercises you provide. I am treated for high BP. I will continue on these great exercises. Thanks Will.
I really like your videos. I've watched a lot of your videos about the knees, and what you talk about makes sense and enhances what I have learned from research and my doctors. I am in my mid-fifties and I am a little proud that I do 30-second planks most days on my coffee breaks. Actually I was doing them for the ab muscles and in lieu of a second coffee. But I am happy to hear there are more benes. I will work in the wall squats on my breaks also. Please continue doing your videos: they are concise, digestible, re-watchable and extremely informative!
Hi I've only just subscribed to your channel and I really appreciate your exercises unfortunately I have arthritis in my knees and find it difficult to kneel on the floor as I have twisted my knee also which is very painfull .but I am going to do the wall exercise but I couldn't do the plank. By the way youv got a fab pair of legs.
I also had and no way could I do the plank (kids would uploads pics of them doing all over the place yrs back) kept at it and can do plank a few secs, can't wait to show my daughter! Remember arthritis is bod's reaction to injury, you gotta fix that injury, failure's not an option! We've many seniors here, seeing them at The Plaza on one cane going onto two is enough motivation, keep at it, I'm legally blind in one eye hence balance problem and past knee surgery, just a few clicks on inner knee now, I'll take it!
Another way to make the plank easier is to put your elbows on a higher surface. I put my elbows on a stair with my legs straight a few days ago. You could use a counter top or a table or a low table. Maybe with a little padding.
Have you thoughts about doing a Video for arm strength Will ? I would love to have stronger arms! It would also be great if you had a 20 minute workout video!!. I Love all your videos Very informative and hugely helpful. Thank you❤
Many thanks for another great video Will. Hubby has high BP so some of these exercises could be helpful for him, not me though as mine’s low. I’ll certainly do the exercises though, I look forward to them too. Thanks Will. 😊
He did mention to breathe as you do it. Look at 6.37. Holding your breath while doing these exercises has the wrong effect (apparently, I saw from another instructor).
Thank you. I will try these. Comments show some people didn't catch that you said you should try to do 3 times a day and to breathe! Not hold your breath.
How do these 2 exercises help with high BP? 🧐 I think they are quad and core strengthening but without attention to breath they cannot help with high BP.
Can you say how doing this type of exercises influence BP. Is it doing them eg daily generally reduces average BP, or straight after doing them BP is reduced for x period of time, or? Thanks.
Dear Will, the way you explain are very effective and easy to follow and always easy to implement. I follow them . I am in my late 70 s. Thank you so much 🙏
Even though l take tablets for high b.p my reading is always high,which is worrying.My doctor isnt particularly helpful, l live alone and really worry.l developed agoraphobia during pandemic which doesnt help.Is there an alternative way to do plank as l cant get on my knees or floor.l dont smoke or drink dont take sugar so dont know what else to do.They put me on sertraline for anxiety but that doesnt help.Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you for this video! I dont want to take any BP meds. I will certainly give these 2 exercises a try! I really enjoy your knowledgeable and helpful videos!
Thanks will i am still playing football every saturday hold the south iland record for the 100 metres and 200 metres track and field at the age of 74 in newzealand i love all of your videos keeps me highly motavated regards vince
Watch for hidden salt (I consider salt imbombing fluid) hubby loves his salty peas (my daughter thinks they'll contain protein, nay!) I suggested he simply put them against his foot which gets a salt bath soak daily, you're welcome! Seriously pizza 🍕 is the planet's most addictive food and surely it's due to its high salt content!

Great to hear!
Reduce your high blood pressure by increasing your magnesium
Not enough.
Thanks for this video. I saw these exercises mentioned in the press, and your video was a good reminder to get started!
Glad it was helpful!
This guy is strong like bull, talks so measuredly right thru the exercises. Im at 30 seconds wall sit wewt😆
Thank you! Your demos are always well explained.
Glad you like them!

Thanks, this is useful. I do isometric holds a lot as part of my calisthenics training, so hopefully I'm already doing enough.
Best of luck!

Thank you for the kind words! Sorry to hear about your knees. I have a video on good alternatives to the plank for core strength coming out soon.

Good luck!
Love you!@ follow all your work. But can you please elaborate more on how this would benefit your blood pressure? Would be helpful!😂 Richard
Maybe a link to the report, Will? I remember hearing about this on the news recently.
The study this video is based on is linked in the description :)
Thanks Will, I wii definitely incorporate them in my workouts
Have fun!
I’ve had TKP so the plank isn’t easy unless I’m on the bed.
Its a bit counter intuitive since i associate these types of exercise with holding your breath whicj i think might raise blood pressure
He did mention to breathe as you do it. Look at 6.37. Holding your breath while doing these exercises has the wrong effect (apparently, I saw from another instructor).
Thank you. I will try these. Comments show some people didn't catch that you said you should try to do 3 times a day and to breathe! Not hold your breath.

How do these 2 exercises help with high BP? 🧐
I think they are quad and core strengthening but without attention to breath they cannot help with high BP.
Breathing definitely important but the study in the description shows the isometric holds helped to reduce BP in their participants.
Awesome, thank you Will.🙏
My pleasure!
Another great video, Will. Thank you. I plank already, but will add the wall sit to my exercise regime.
Sounds great!
Can you say how doing this type of exercises influence BP. Is it doing them eg daily generally reduces average BP, or straight after doing them BP is reduced for x period of time, or? Thanks.
Great content I have been trying to find exercise to help reduce HBP. Thanks
These look like exercises I can do! I also have an isometric hand exerciser that I’ve been using. These exercises would be good to add on.
Dear Will, the way you explain are very effective and easy to follow and always easy to implement. I follow them . I am in my late 70 s. Thank you so much 🙏
very strange. Static tension (isometric) enhances BP. How can it reduce it? Am I missing something?
Excellent proposals!
Thank you!
Wow. I like the examples you showed today. Isometric movement is new to me. Thank you.❤❤❤❤❤
This was real helpful always seeking alternative solutions to reduce my HB, thank you!
Thank you for your valuable advise. Some of them so relevant and trying to follow.
Thanks again
I just saw a video with Dr Khan bp specialist who said avoid planks/static holds with high bp.
You choose very good topics on the subject. Wonderful! Stay blessed
Thank you Will.l have less pain more mobility and an increase in overall strength. Great videos
Thank you for the information 🙏
My pleasure!
This is good, but those are problems - not "issues."
How do isometric exercises help with blood pressure?
Amazing channel, thank you sir.
Thank-you. God bless.

Did you get your homocysteine levels checked?
Thank you for this video! I dont want to take any BP meds. I will certainly give these 2 exercises a try!
I really enjoy your knowledgeable and helpful videos!
You are so welcome!
Excellent video on an important subject. I would like to know how many reps /sets of these exercises should be done to reap maximum benefit.
In the video he says three time a day for two minutes each exercise.
Just got diagnosed with high BP and working out a plan to manage it. This is great timing and much appreciated.
So pleased my video came at the right time for you - wishing you all the best!
Thank you. Will totally incorporate this into my day. 💝🇨🇦
Wonderful!
How many sets do you do a day
Very nice 😊
Brilliant ❤
thank you so much
You're very welcome!
Thank you!

Actually natural salt/sodium is necessary for life. Use it sensibly but cut out all seed oils, deep fried foods.
