More than 50% of adults in the United States have high blood pressure, and many don’t know it. High blood pressure is often called the “silent killer” because it can go undetected.

Research has shown that the wall sit is one of the best exercises to help reduce systolic blood pressure. A wall sit is an isometric exercise, meaning your muscles contract without movement.

The wall sit exercise can lower systolic blood pressure by about 8 points, outperforming many other forms of exercise. If you have high diastolic blood pressure, cardio exercise may be more beneficial.

Reducing high blood pressure may also lower your risk of:
• Cardiovascular events
• Coronary heart disease
• Stroke
• Heart failure
• All-cause mortality

To help support healthy blood pressure levels, perform 4 wall sits in a row, holding each for 2 minutes with a 2-minute rest between each set. Repeat this routine 3 times per week.
