Hi Hidden

Another gorgeous woodland photo - such a lovely forest near where you live. I appreciate you sharing this article, and I particularly liked that it said "A combination of endurance exercise, such as cycling and walking, and dynamic resistance training, such as weight training with kettle bells or dumbbells, was found to be particularly effective in reducing blood pressure." I like a combination of exercise - and will be trying to ensure I do more cross-training in the New Year - thinking ahead to considering my New Year Resolutions. :-)

Thanks Zest, really exercise is like our diets and the more varied the better so I liked that too.

I'm sure that you will keep your New Years resolutions and it's a good idea to be resolute towards wanting to change things for the better. 😊
