Wall Squats and Planks best for lowering blood pressure.

Can you do a 2 min. plank?

According to a study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, 16,000 people were included in a trial that found ALL exercise lowered high blood pressure. This is nothing new, but what is interesting is that the study indicated that doing 2 minute isometric strength movements like Wall Squats and Planks, led to larger (blood pressure) falls than aerobic exercise. 

Can you push yourself to do Wall Squats and Planks for 2 minutes?…and breathe ;).
