Loved it! I struggle a bit with the planks but really enjoyed the variation. I had been alternating your other two for a while. Thanks! 😊

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Thanks! You can always do the plank on a higher support to make it easier, like the back of a chair, dining room table or whatever you have around you to make your body more vertical. The more horizontal your body, the harder it is.

Don't worry, as I mention in the video, if you need to pause that's fine. You can also try doing an easier version standing but leaning forwards into the wall with your arms straight (as though you were going to do a wall press). This will be a modified version that's a little easier on the core.

[@susiehancorn811]

Hey Richard, Thanks so much for all these amazing videos love your videos for lowering bp, especially this last one with the mix of isometric and cardio! However I have a problem with the side plank as it agrivates my lower back.Is there an adaption that isn't so hard on my back? I have a compressed lumbar vertebrae.

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Yes, try doing it sideways onto a wall so you're still leaning but more upright. You can do it with your arm straight (so hand on the wall) or do it on the elbow/ forearm like in the video. It may be that the angle is too low for your back to stabilise. Also, probably worth trying one of my core/ lower back exercise videos to help. See the playlist here: kzbin.info/aero/PLf9i8qFtMBBI6ua6m3OgL5_wBVw7JkNk-

[@viv6662]

Thanks Richard. Pls try to make a video on muscle building workout with high bp

[@ExerciseForHealth]

I've done some strength and conditioning workout videos which are also suitable if you have high B/P and I have another scheduled for later in the year, this being a low impact strength workout. Ideally for muscle "building", it's easier if you have access to a gym facility where you can add more load to the movements, where as home exercise can be slightly limited to bodyweight and light weights. But you can be creative! Check out all my workouts in the playlist here though: kzbin.info/aero/PLf9i8qFtMBBK1VBEA-IlSw7VrXxrvxHUF

Yes, check out my video on this here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpXWYpymdpeJf8U

[@PilgrimsProgress7]

@Richard Instead of using an armrest, can I do the exercise on the floor, or will the benefit be reduced (by doing it on the floor)?

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Yes you can do those on the floor, but that will make it harder, and you may feel a bit dizzy when you stand back up.

[@sriabi2100]

If we are continue to do these exercises all day 10,20 years , will there be any problem or the intensity will reduce bp will spike

[@ExerciseForHealth]

I obviously don't know the answer to this, but think of all exercise types as one way to maintain a healthy lifestyle. ANALOGY: You can regularly clean your teeth twice a day but still get problems in later life. If you didn't clean them, then there is an increased risk for you to get problems at an earlier age.

[@ISasukeRule]

Which version should we do daily? Do we need to perform all 3 of them in a day, or separate days? Please guide me.

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Definitely not. Any of my workout videos can be done (you get to choose) once a day. Do something like this on 3 to 5 days a week. Here is the current guidance: kzbin.infoDNnwUNg8q4c?si=BpBMOujXTEmehBfr

[@lubymay3618]

Hi, is this considered a high intensity workout? I know you can't out train a poor diet but could this help with weight loss too?

[@ExerciseForHealth]

I would say it is at a moderate intensity, but depending on your fitness, some exercises may feel more like high intensity. It can help aid with burning more calories in a day for sure, but what you eat will be the key to successful weight loss.
