  I am gradually building up my isometric exercises and doing my best, aiming for 6 days a week.  I have had stubbornly high blood pressure for many years and been on medication for about 30 years.  70 and still working on it.  Systolic is my problem, my diastolic is always 68-75 range.  But I have a good diet, great variety, and minimum processed foods, no junk.  Thanks for the videos, I really appreciate the effort you make to get the word out.

  I have had severe hypertension in the AM at rising from bed for decades. No medications controlled it. I have regularly been physically active with anaerobic and aerobic exercise. <br><br>For four years now at rising from bed in the &nbsp;morning , I do 6 to 8 complex isometric exercises I relax for one half an hour and take my blood pressure . It plummets to normal readings from as high as 175 over 95. <br><br>Complex isometrics is defined as contracting multiple body muscle groups in the same time holding for at least twenty seconds . Intensity is a factor . ie While doing a squat I do a pectoral squeeze against a wall . Another, I reach up against a wall on my toes squeezing my calves and press against the wall with my arms extended activating abdominal and pectoral muscles <br><br>Besides physical vasodilation of vessels of the activated muscles &nbsp;post exercise , I believe &nbsp;there is release of nitric oxide from vessel wall linings. Plus, if you breathe in nasally and exhale through your mouth during the exercise you absorb nitric oxide from the epithelium of the sinuses and nasal passage. Nitric oxide is a known vasodilator and anti inflammatory agent. <br><br>Works for me . Now at 80 years of age , I just as soon not have a vascular event at awaking in the AM <br><br>I also drink a full glass of water in the AM at awakening to thin the blood .

  I started doing wall sits when brushing my teeth and can easily do the two minute duration now.
