get out of that car and do more planks and wall sits: "...Researchers... found that “isometric exercises” ... such as wall sits and planks – were almost twice as effective compared with the [U.K.] government recommended exercise guidelines. ...Reducing systolic blood pressure is associated with decreased incidence of major cardiovascular disease events such as stroke, heart failure, and all-cause mortality. ...The study... found significant reductions in resting systolic and diastolic blood pressure after all the categories of exercise. Although other forms of exercise such as aerobic exercise, squats, weights and high-intensity interval training also reduced blood pressure, isometric exercises were the most effective. This static contraction could squeeze the vessels that supplied blood to the working muscles – which reduced the flow of blood to the muscle during the exercise and therefore oxygen supply to the muscle. When the muscle relaxed afterwards, it caused a large flow of blood through the vessels (this was different to other modes of exercise) and was likely to be the trigger driving these greater improvements in blood flow regulation. ...Performing 4 x 2 minutes of wall sits, with 2-minutes’ rest in between, three times per week, is an effective way to reduce your blood pressure..." theguardian.com
