I found this workout a little harder than the first one But i love the challenge. Cant wait to see the follow up workouts . Many thanks for all your hard work and all your helpful information.
Thank you for this lovely comment. Be sure to keep a check on the blood pressure playlist for more videos here: th-cam.com/play/PLf9i8qFtMBBI9YPPSqbqzFOOYa45N_pPc.html
Wow thank you so much for the super thanks. Isometric exercise has been shown to be the most effective, but cardio exercise will also bring good results for most people. Take a look at my BP playlist for more info here: th-cam.com/play/PLf9i8qFtMBBI9YPPSqbqzFOOYa45N_pPc.html
Great, wonderful, superb cardio exercise to lower blood pressure... I'm on my 2nd day... After my 1st day exercise my systolic reduce by 15 and my diastolic reduce by 20. Thank you my dearest Instructor. Praise God and glory to Him.!!!
After a couple weeks of doing this exercise along with a healthy diet and adequate sleep, my blood pressure is now 120/80, and I have never felt better! I feel stronger! Keep up the good work! My blood sugar level is also down to 103, and my doctor also has a plan to decrease the tablet I am taking.
Back doing this workout. I really enjoy it mixed up with your other BP workouts. Love the silly bits in the video too! Love the fact your puffing too at the end. Many thanks. In my humble opinion(!) the best video by far for High BP. Cheers. Sue, New Forest
Thanks. That’s a great workout. I’ll definitely do that again. Have high blood pressure after a sudden death in my family. Trying to reduce it naturally. Cheers Sue, UK
You're welcome Sue. Take a look at my blood pressure playlist that also has additional workouts you can follow here: th-cam.com/play/PLf9i8qFtMBBI9YPPSqbqzFOOYa45N_pPc.html
Hi Richard. I am extremely happy to see this sequel!❤ This is an excellent version of the first one. I love the variety. Keep it going! Glad that the first one is a huge success🎉
Thank you so much for this! The first one really helped me out but I was looking for a lot more variety :D Awesome video, and I look forward to doing more!
Highly appreciated the professional set of exercises you have show us and how to follow , I will say you’re the most professional to guide us , God Bless you for provide for us your useful and healthy workout to get benefits of our health. Congratulations 🎉 and you’re the best !!!!!
Great workout once again thank you. I have gotten so good that towards the end i do blend the workouts with a bit of mini isometric exercises to get something just awesome.❤
Hi can i follow first exercise video on this playlist and this on alternately to make some changes routine ...?? Suggest me if that combination works in improving my hypertension problem
Wow thank you so much for the super thanks! You can do any of them as they're all effective. Find one that you enjoy or is at the right intensity for you, but you can vary them.
Love love this video🎉 I sweat a lot. This is a nice part 2. The first video was a good intro for starters. Then follow with this one. My bp is now stable with 120/80. Relieves stress and I sleep better at night❤
Thank you very much Sir. Done subscribe..I have high blood pressure and follow ur exercise it was really great and effective.. More followers to come 🇵🇭
Awesome, thank you and well done. Check out others like this in my blood pressure playlist here: th-cam.com/play/PLf9i8qFtMBBI9YPPSqbqzFOOYa45N_pPc.html
Hi Richard..im from India n i loved ur first part n started following it ..just watched ur second one...wld start it from tmrw... good job . keep it up..
Most people will notice a change around 6 weeks after doing this or something similar on 3 days a week. Check out my playlist on hypertension for more videos that might interest you here: th-cam.com/play/PLf9i8qFtMBBI9YPPSqbqzFOOYa45N_pPc.html
Yes you can if you really wanted to. I would probably do the cardio one first then the isometric one. I've scheduled a cardio + isometric workout that basically combines these two videos for early February so stay tuned for that one!
Im just watching them at the moment 😅, Im going to do one today. I had a small stroke in February which I've fully recovered from but my blood pressure is between 140 and 155 systolic. My consultant said go ahead and exercise, anything you like so i will give it a go. How fast should this make a difference to BP?. Thank you I like your no nonsense calm approach.
Great. You may get an initial response in your post exercise BP about 30 minutes after the exercise which is normal, but long term you could see a drop of 5-10 mmHg over a period of around 12 weeks in your resting BP.
This workout is a gem. I used to be so much more fit, and this workout is great for the health compromised. I have stage 3 COPD. One day at a time. Thanks so much Richard.
Thanks Richard for these workouts, although I need to moderate my pace, these workouts are doing the job. Question, How often should we do these-daily or every other day and incorporate fitness walking or elliptical workouts on the off days or other fitness videos (I use leslie sansone, lucy read, pahla B and silver sneakers). Another questions: how long should you wait after doing these workouts before you spot check your BP? I've read to wait 30 minutes after exercising before taking a BP and only after spending about 3 minutes of paced or patterned breathing. What do you suggest to improve BP reading as home?
Watch my short on the recommended frequency for exercise here: th-cam.com/users/shortsDNnwUNg8q4c Regarding taking your BP, you'll see a temporary response about 30-60 minutes after exercising, but if you have hypertension as a condition, you may see a gradual reduction in your resting BP over a 12 week period.
Excuse Sir highly professional and skilled your exercises my blood pressure has lowered and much better now. Excuse I have a question I’m 60 and during exercises with a little bit of struggling I’m doing exercises and my body condition after is mich better . It’s ok 60? And what is the alarm symptoms in the case of my age to say reduce or stop? Will appreciate your kind comments reg my question. Congratulations again🎉
There are no age limits to exercises, it just depends on what you are able to do. If you can continue exercising within your limits, then keep going, 60, 70, 80, 90+
You could, but that particular exercise is cardio based so performed at a faster tempo, so the movement of arms and legs together will increase the heart rate. If you were using weights in the hands then the faster tempo would not control the movement of the weights and adverse affects could take place in the elbow/ shoulder joints as they're being moved with too much inertia. Doing a bicep curl with weights as a stand alone exercise is fine, but the heart rate will drop considerably as its a smaller muscle group, so for the purpose of this video, wouldn't make sense. So doing the bent over row movement which is the following exercise at a slower tempo will still hit the biceps but along with other muscles to maintain heart rate.
I am 24 years old and I have moderate left ventricle hypertrophy due to hypertension.. I started medication... Hopefully doing these exercises daily will help 😊😊
@@ExerciseForHealthya , weekly is enough . If we decide to do daily , we won't do due to lethargy . Weekly once / twice with happier and relaxed mood and mind is good
Great workout as is the 1st installment. Just a quick couple of questions. How can I mix part 1 and 2 up ? How many times a week? And for how long should I continue doing this(months, years)?
Oh just saw there's a part 3 !!! Awesome. Please take this into consideration when you get the chance to answer my previous question. Thank you so much. I wish you the absolute best.
Thank you. Yes I have a playlist of workouts to help reduce BP here: th-cam.com/play/PLf9i8qFtMBBI9YPPSqbqzFOOYa45N_pPc.html It's suggested that we should be exercising like this for 150 minutes a week, which means doing this or something similar (any version) on 3-5 days a week. Good to be active every day though (walk/ cycle/ swim etc).
I am doing this exercise along with your first exercise alternatively for last 1 year and i am doing great, in last 1 year my blood pressure never gone up above 130/90. But i have one problem of breathing related issues that's why i feel anxious when i can't breathe, so if you have any exercise related to breathing than please advice me.
Great, sounds like you're doing amazing. I have a breathing based video here that might help you th-cam.com/video/YDU5tB-_KxY/w-d-xo.html It's also worth trying some others in my blood pressure playlist here: th-cam.com/play/PLf9i8qFtMBBI9YPPSqbqzFOOYa45N_pPc.html
Can we do this exercises any time?how many minutes after eating?! Befor or after food ? Morning after breakfasts or before?! When exactly is more safe to do before bed time or when?! Please
@ExerciseForHealth Do any of your workouts have bicep curls with dumbbells? I don't remember seeing any. I only see lateral arm raises and triceps curls with weights in the videos. the bicep curls are without weights. Update: Thinking it over, perhaps I should use weights on my own, whenever you do the bicep curls without them for instance in the Cardio warmup video.
If the movement is without weights then it's probably a cardio biased exercise. I have used weights though with a bicep curl, can't remember which ones.
I have been anticipating this workout so much i even watched it without working out with it and i was a little reluctant to do it seeing how puffed out Rich was but i made it through it haha. Great workout and i love the new exercises (except the crossover, i just did a form of a skater to get through) thank you so much for these. Id shake your hand if i could. Im curious why the warm up and cool down are shortened from the original blood pressure workout. I miss the shoulder rolls. Great intro and outro.
Thanks and glad you like the new format. Yes the crossovers can be done just stepping so it's not too high impact. The warm up and cool down were timed for 6 minutes, but I wanted to step this one up a bit as it's likely to be done by returning viewers, so as the body gets fitter, the blood pressure will also adapt to the exercise faster meaning that a very prolonged warm up and cool down isn't as necessary, but I've stuck to the guidance of 6 minutes for each element. You can always add in some shoulder rolls while marching... ha ha!
Me too. When I was doing part 1 since Feb, I was wondering when Richard will do the 2nd one and here it is. I was excited to try this when it came out. It did not disappoint me. It was fun and love that the warm up has several combinations.
Watching from Sydney, Australia. This exercise has made my blood pressure down from 130/90 to 117/78 after 4 weeks. Thanks heaps mate. Should I stop my bp medication?
Hello Richard, At first I didn’t think i would be able to complete this workout but after a few months im getting better at it. The knee thrusts and the crossovers are still quite challenging. I wanted to ask if there is such a thing as to much exercise. Since my fitness has improved i find myself doing this video and following it up with the shorter “start as you mean to go on” video or the first version video to reduce blood pressure. Maybe thats a dumb question. It could be based on the rate of exertion scale? Thank you so much for these wonderful videos, they and you have helped change my life!
Great! It sounds like you are consistently improving which is great to hear. There are recommendations for how much exercise we should do over the course of a week. Interestingly, I've just recently done a short on this here: th-cam.com/users/shortsDNnwUNg8q4c?si=6OgAcfUhIKk-Rw8Y There isn't likely to be any more benefit for exercising longer than 1 hour in any daily workouts though, so this should be your guide.
Hi! Been exercising to lower my bp using the part 1 of the vid and it help me alot but I noticed that I had a hard time with jumping workout due to my fractured left leg years ago. Do you have more vids to watch aside from this one? Thanks!
Yes, I've got a playlist of 37 workouts where most will be effective in lowering B/P. However, I have a good low impact one here that you might find useful: th-cam.com/video/-sozkuanNuo/w-d-xo.html Be aware it's an older video when I did some cringy intro's!
My blood pressure has been around 159/94, and after a week of doing this exercise along with a healthy diet and enough sleep, my blood pressure is now 120/80 and never been happier! I feel stronger! Keep up the good work!
Excellent
That's awesome, well done!
Now I'm skeptical! This exact comment was on the other video. The numbers were the only part slightly changed😮.
How long did it take to see the difference?! Are you doing this version or the older one or both. How many times a day? Congratulations on the progress!
@@danettegreenw3412why don’t you try the exercise and find out yourself .
I have taken medicine for 3yrs but in 1week i have been doing this exercise daily with fasting my pressure has lowered from 150/110 to 117/79.... i check my self 2 times aday and am really doing great wothout even taking medicine

Excuse I have a question I’m 60 and during exercises with a little bit of struggling I’m doing exercises and my body condition after is mich better . It’s ok 60? And what is the alarm symptoms in the case of my age to say reduce or stop? Will appreciate your kind comments reg my question. Congratulations again🎉
There are no age limits to exercises, it just depends on what you are able to do. If you can continue exercising within your limits, then keep going, 60, 70, 80, 90+
At 11:40 wouldn't it have been better to use dumbbells? I don't recall you using bicep curls with dumbbells in your videos.
You could, but that particular exercise is cardio based so performed at a faster tempo, so the movement of arms and legs together will increase the heart rate. If you were using weights in the hands then the faster tempo would not control the movement of the weights and adverse affects could take place in the elbow/ shoulder joints as they're being moved with too much inertia. Doing a bicep curl with weights as a stand alone exercise is fine, but the heart rate will drop considerably as its a smaller muscle group, so for the purpose of this video, wouldn't make sense. So doing the bent over row movement which is the following exercise at a slower tempo will still hit the biceps but along with other muscles to maintain heart rate.
Thank you so much that was good
Great!
Thank for this video🇵🇭
No problem 😊
Good. I like it
Great!
I am 24 years old and I have moderate left ventricle hypertrophy due to hypertension.. I started medication... Hopefully doing these exercises daily will help 😊😊
Great. You don't need to follow this EVERY day, but doing ng this or something similar on 3 to 5 days a week would be best.
@@ExerciseForHealthya , weekly is enough . If we decide to do daily , we won't do due to lethargy . Weekly once / twice with happier and relaxed mood and mind is good
Does your lvh comes with chest pain?
If it was due to high blood pressure your fine. You'll still live to 100
@@jodyjaeyou can still live to 100 with lvh
I love your videos!!!❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much. 6 workout videos coming out over the UK summer break every Monday!
Thanks bro.
Most welcome
Great workout as is the 1st installment. Just a quick couple of questions. How can I mix part 1 and 2 up ? How many times a week? And for how long should I continue doing this(months, years)?
Oh just saw there's a part 3 !!! Awesome. Please take this into consideration when you get the chance to answer my previous question. Thank you so much. I wish you the absolute best.
Thank you. Yes I have a playlist of workouts to help reduce BP here: th-cam.com/play/PLf9i8qFtMBBI9YPPSqbqzFOOYa45N_pPc.html It's suggested that we should be exercising like this for 150 minutes a week, which means doing this or something similar (any version) on 3-5 days a week. Good to be active every day though (walk/ cycle/ swim etc).
@@ExerciseForHealth Thank you so much. Have a great day.
I like this workout much better than workout1 which had a lot of jumping and hopping - not good for someone with a knee injury.
Glad you enjoy it. Have you tried the isometric one that's static, as you may find that better.
Was so supprrb thanks a million
Welcome
I am doing this exercise along with your first exercise alternatively for last 1 year and i am doing great, in last 1 year my blood pressure never gone up above 130/90. But i have one problem of breathing related issues that's why i feel anxious when i can't breathe, so if you have any exercise related to breathing than please advice me.
Great, sounds like you're doing amazing. I have a breathing based video here that might help you th-cam.com/video/YDU5tB-_KxY/w-d-xo.html It's also worth trying some others in my blood pressure playlist here: th-cam.com/play/PLf9i8qFtMBBI9YPPSqbqzFOOYa45N_pPc.html
Can we do this exercises any time?how many minutes after eating?! Befor or after food ? Morning after breakfasts or before?! When exactly is more safe to do before bed time or when?! Please
Any time that suits you.
I started today and hope will improve tha no you ❤😊
Enjoy!
Hows the progress?
@ExerciseForHealth Do any of your workouts have bicep curls with dumbbells? I don't remember seeing any. I only see lateral arm raises and triceps curls with weights in the videos. the bicep curls are without weights. Update: Thinking it over, perhaps I should use weights on my own, whenever you do the bicep curls without them for instance in the Cardio warmup video.
If the movement is without weights then it's probably a cardio biased exercise. I have used weights though with a bicep curl, can't remember which ones.
Hi Coach, How r u
Coach can I do my regular gym workout after this training?
You can if you want to but doing more than 60 minutes of exercise won't necessarily get any extra gains.
@@ExerciseForHealth Vookay 👍🏻
I have been anticipating this workout so much i even watched it without working out with it and i was a little reluctant to do it seeing how puffed out Rich was but i made it through it haha. Great workout and i love the new exercises (except the crossover, i just did a form of a skater to get through) thank you so much for these. Id shake your hand if i could. Im curious why the warm up and cool down are shortened from the original blood pressure workout. I miss the shoulder rolls. Great intro and outro.
Thanks and glad you like the new format. Yes the crossovers can be done just stepping so it's not too high impact. The warm up and cool down were timed for 6 minutes, but I wanted to step this one up a bit as it's likely to be done by returning viewers, so as the body gets fitter, the blood pressure will also adapt to the exercise faster meaning that a very prolonged warm up and cool down isn't as necessary, but I've stuck to the guidance of 6 minutes for each element. You can always add in some shoulder rolls while marching... ha ha!
@@ExerciseForHealth thank you Rich.
Me too. When I was doing part 1 since Feb, I was wondering when Richard will do the 2nd one and here it is. I was excited to try this when it came out. It did not disappoint me. It was fun and love that the warm up has several combinations.
Watching from Sydney, Australia. This exercise has made my blood pressure down from 130/90 to 117/78 after 4 weeks. Thanks heaps mate. Should I stop my bp medication?
Thanks! Only your doctor can advise you on any changes to your medications.
I will try these hope so it will be helpfull
Hope you enjoy it
Sir super howmany times do this workout in a week
3 to 5 times a week doing this or something similar is recommended
I have just started to do this exercise Sir which is the best time to do this exercise morning or evening and should we do it daily or alternate days
Any time of day that suits you on 3 to 5 days a week
Hello Richard,
At first I didn’t think i would be able to complete this workout but after a few months im getting better at it. The knee thrusts and the crossovers are still quite challenging. I wanted to ask if there is such a thing as to much exercise. Since my fitness has improved i find myself doing this video and following it up with the shorter “start as you mean to go on” video or the first version video to reduce blood pressure. Maybe thats a dumb question. It could be based on the rate of exertion scale? Thank you so much for these wonderful videos, they and you have helped change my life!
Great! It sounds like you are consistently improving which is great to hear. There are recommendations for how much exercise we should do over the course of a week. Interestingly, I've just recently done a short on this here: th-cam.com/users/shortsDNnwUNg8q4c?si=6OgAcfUhIKk-Rw8Y There isn't likely to be any more benefit for exercising longer than 1 hour in any daily workouts though, so this should be your guide.
@@ExerciseForHealth thank you, Thats exactly what I wanted to know. I will check out the short. Keep the great videos coming. Top Fan.
Hi! Been exercising to lower my bp using the part 1 of the vid and it help me alot but I noticed that I had a hard time with jumping workout due to my fractured left leg years ago. Do you have more vids to watch aside from this one? Thanks!
Yes, I've got a playlist of 37 workouts where most will be effective in lowering B/P. However, I have a good low impact one here that you might find useful: th-cam.com/video/-sozkuanNuo/w-d-xo.html Be aware it's an older video when I did some cringy intro's!
@@ExerciseForHealth Thank you so much!
Wow wow amazing
Thanks
