Exercise for Blood Pressure: 150 Minutes, Made Simple
Exercise for blood pressure follows the American Heart Association activity guidelines: at least 150 minutes a week of moderate aerobic activity, or 75 minutes of vigorous, plus muscle-strengthening on at least 2 days. Spread it through the week, and ask your clinician before starting if you have a heart condition.

How much exercise for blood pressure do adults need?
Adults need at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity a week, or 75 minutes of vigorous, or a mix, ideally spread through the week (AHA, physical activity).
| Type | Target |
|---|---|
| Moderate aerobic | 150 minutes |
| Vigorous aerobic | 75 minutes |
| Muscle strengthening | 2 or more days |
| For added benefit | 300 minutes |
How do you start if you do little now?
Start small and build. Ten minutes still counts toward the weekly total.
- Week 1
Walk 10 minutes on three days.
- Week 2
Make it 20 minutes on three days.
- Week 3
Add a fourth walk and one strength day.
- Week 4
Add the second strength day. Aim toward 150 minutes.
Log home readings alongside; see the blood pressure numbers.
Can a supplement stand in for exercise?
No supplement stands in for exercise. Citrulline at 3 g or more has shown a small strength or power benefit in trials (Trexler 2019, citrulline exercise), but one Melonex capsule holds 0.5 g of blend. Read the ingredients page.
Exercise sits beside your drugs. Stop and call 911 for chest pain, fainting or trouble breathing.
