How I Work With Hypertension
Accurate Screening
Before prescribing anything, I review your current BP readings, medications, cardiovascular risk factors, and any contraindications to exercise.
Aerobic Foundation
Moderate-intensity aerobic exercise is the most evidence-supported intervention for BP reduction. I build this into your programme progressively and safely.
Resistance Training
Isometric and dynamic resistance training add independent BP-lowering effects. I prescribe the right types, loads, and rest periods for your profile.
Monitoring Integration
On coaching tiers, we track your BP data together across the programme so adjustments are made on evidence, not guesswork.
