Yes, those who have high blood pressure can and should do physical exercises such as bodybuilding as long as their blood pressure is controlled. Physical activity is essential for controlling blood pressure.
It was previously advocated that hypertensive patients should not do anaerobic exercises, such as bodybuilding, because an increase in blood pressure may occur during exercise.
However it is known that as long as the pressure is controlled, they can do bodybuilding three times a week, as long as they keep the practice of aerobic exercise constant, which include running, cycling, walking and swimming.
In addition to practicing physical exercises, it is essential to lose weight, stop smoking, decrease salt and fat intake and use correctly the medications prescribed by your doctor.
