Blood Pressure and 10 Minute Walks

A study published in the July 2012 issue of Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise found that in individuals with pre-hypertension, breaking aerobic exercise up into several sessions throughout the day reduced their risk for hypertension and other cardiovascular disease. As an example, 3 ten-minute aerobic sessions, such as brisk walking, had a greater effect than a single 30-minute exercise session on maintaining a lower ambulatory blood pressure. Other studies have pointed out the ill effects of sitting for prolonged periods of time. Seems like more and more studies are indicating that we need to get up and move around throughout the day.
