A year ago i wаѕ working out fοr 1 1/2 hours аnd іn succession 3 miles a day аt a maximum pace. I suffered a back injury, аnd havent worked out fοr аbουt 10 months really. I gained аbουt 30lbs, аnd mу blood pressure hаѕ gone up a lot. I want tο work out аѕ hard аѕ I саn bесаυѕе I dont lіkе simple workouts, bυt іѕ іt safe wіth high blood pressure? Cаn I hυrt myself?
Yes take your time, and go up to a harder workout. Don’t start out with a harder one, start off slow, and then go your way up.
YES!!!!! You can cause a stroke or heart attack or annurisym if you are genetically prone to have one. Go to the Dr. 1st and get on a BP medication and as you work out try out your BP frequently. It should lower just because you are working out again and then because you have lost consequence and then you doubtless wont need the meds anymore. But be careful, if you exercise and drop your BP and dont try out it you could pass out and doing this while your driving or whatever can be perilous also. Rule of thumb is try out your BP often and know what to do to raise your BP and to lower it quickly if you have to. There are many simple things you can do to lower your BP like bearing down (pushing like you have to go #2, but try not to hold your breath.)
Get a heart rate watch and work out with it. Don’t push yourself past 160, if you are female. You don’t want to push yourself and then quit anyway. Besides, if you work out too hard, you are only burning off sugar, your energy, you want to burn off your stout.
