Blood Pressure According To Your Age
Do you know what your blood pressure should be?
Regulating your blood pressure can become a real virtue, unless you are older and unable to do so. In that case, this is pretty harmful and sometimes impossible. This was shown in a study that involved 2,000 seniors. The results were published online in the Archives of Internal Medicine and they actually surprised the world.
When it comes to high blood pressure, there is no place for mistakes – hypertension is a real life threat. It affects the function of your arteries, kidneys, and your body in general. This causes heart attack, heart failure, stroke, kidney failure, and other dangerous health issues. This is the reason why most doctors reach for aggressive therapies when it comes to treating hypertension.
Same as other health conditions, a particular method cannot be applied to everyone. There are different treatments for 50-year-old men and 80-year-old men, as the therapy of the first group does not correspond to the individuals in the second.
How To Of The Day: Do More Than One Stinking Pull-up
Want to be able to do more than one pull-up. Follow this routine and you’ll be doing multiple sets of ten pull-ups in no-time flat.
Pull-ups are a great exercise for building upper body strength, but they’re also really hard to do if you’re not already used to doing them. If you’re not able to do more than one pull-up already, this video will show you how.
The video, from The Art of Manliness, gives you an easy routine to follow. If you can’t pull off a single full pull-up, the video suggests starting from the raised position and slowly lowering yourself, in a “reverse pull-up” motion. Once you’ve managed to work your way up to a single pull-up, the video suggests the following routine over time to increase your reps:
- Week 1: Twice a week, do 12 sets of 1 pull-up with a 45 second break in between each set.
- Week 2: Twice a week, do 6 sets of 2 pull-ups with a 45 second break between each set.
- Week 3: Twice a week, do 4 sets of 4 pull-ups with a 45 second break between each set.
- Week 4: Twice a week, do 3 sets of 6 pull-ups with a 45 second break between each set.
- Week 5: Twice a week, do 5 sets of 10 pull-ups with a 45 second break between each set.
If you feel like you can’t handle the pull-ups at any point during this regiment, dial it back and start from an easier step. Over time this should help you build your upper body strength and make it easier to do more pull-ups.
