Endurance sports are best combined with strength training, as that can also improve your blood pressure, but you should be careful not to push yourself to your limit as that can be dangerous. — dpa

If you're doing more exercise in order to reduce your blood pressure, then it is best to do so in moderation.

Endurance sports from cycling to walking, jogging or swimming are all good options, and the German Heart Foundation recommends you exercise at least three times a week for 30 to 45 minutes.
