6 Easy Cardio Exercises to Help Lower High Blood Pressure
SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 8, 2025 – When your doctor says you have hypertension, it can sound scary — especially when you hear it called a “silent killer.” But the good news is that small, doable changes to your daily routine can make a real difference. One of the most powerful? Moving your body with simple cardio exercises that support a stronger heart and lower blood pressure over time.
Why Cardio Matters When You Have High Blood Pressure
Nearly half of U.S. adults are living with high blood pressure, often without any obvious symptoms. Hypertension is typically defined as a blood pressure reading consistently at or above 130/80 mm Hg, and over time it can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. That’s why your doctor may recommend regular exercise as part of your care plan.
