HIIT can reduce heart rate and blood pressure

Because heart disease causes 25% of deaths in the US, HIIT exercises are a great investment that can increase cardiovascular health and lower your risk for heart disease.

Numerous studies have found that HIIT exercises can lower heart rate and blood pressure in overweight and obese people. According to one research, adults with high blood pressure might lower their blood pressure as much as traditional, continuous endurance training after 8 weeks of HIIT on a stationary bike. In this study, the HIIT group exercised just three times per week for 20 minutes per day, whereas the endurance training group trained four days per week for 30 minutes per day. In a small 2017 research, men between the ages of 56 and 67 who did HIIT exercises five days a week for six weeks had an average drop in blood pressure of roughly 5.5 mm/Hg. Additionally, a 2017 research found that HIIT workouts reduced blood pressure more quickly than steady-state exercise sessions.
