✨ Exercise & Hypertension ✨

Did you know that exercise can be as powerful as medication when it comes to lowering blood pressure? Research shows that consistent movement doesn’t just make you feel stronger—it can significantly reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke.

The Power of Exercise for Managing Hypertension

Aerobic Exercise
⚫️ Meta-analyses show reductions of ~8.3 mmHg systolic / ~5.2 mmHg diastolic in office blood pressure with aerobic training (≥4 weeks). More aggressive improvements (~10.8/4.7 mmHg) were seen in adults with diagnosed hypertension.

Resistance & Combined Training
⚫️ Dynamic resistance training alone yields reductions of ~5.7/5.2 mmHg in hypertensive adults; more exercises per session lead to stronger effects.
Concurrent training (aerobic + resistance) shows reductions of ~5.3 mmHg systolic / ~5.6 mmHg diastolic. High-quality studies even report systolic drops of ~9 mmHg.

Short Bursts of Vigorous Activity
⚫️ Replacing just 5 minutes of sedentary time per day with activity like stair climbing or short bouts of exercise can lower BP—even longer bursts could reduce cardiovascular risk by ~10%.

Stroke Prevention
⚫️ A 10 mmHg systolic or 5 mmHg diastolic reduction in BP lowers stroke risk by approximately 40%.
Significant antihypertensive therapy also reduces ischemic heart disease by ~21% and stroke risk by ~34%.

Whether it’s walking, lifting, or sneaking in a few minutes of movement each day, every bit counts toward protecting your heart. Start small, stay consistent, and your blood pressure (and future self) will thank you.

✨ Coach Mariia Explains: Exercise & PCOS: Why It Matters ✨

Living with PCOS can feel frustrating—but movement is one of the most powerful tools you have. Here’s what regular exercise can do:
🌸 Balances hormones (helps regulate cycles & lower excess androgens)
Improves insulin sensitivity (your body uses sugar more efficiently)
🌸 Supports weight management without extreme dieting
🌸 Boosts fertility by improving ovulation
🌸 Reduces inflammation that often worsens symptoms
🌸 Improves mood & energy (goodbye brain fog & fatigue)

What it looks like:
🌼 Strength training 2–3x/week → boosts metabolism & hormone health
🌼 Cardio 3–5x/week → supports insulin + heart health
🌼 Gentle movement (yoga, stretching, walking) → lowers stress & cortisol

PCOS is tough, but your workouts can be your secret weapon. Strong body = more balance, more confidence, more YOU.
