B.p. is o.k. Natural exercises like brisk walking, light jogging, swimming yoga, are always better than weight lifting.
Consult online or via whatsapp for more detailed guidance.

Hi, a blood pressure reading of 140/80 is at the upper normal / borderline high range. You can safely do light to moderate exercises, including basic weight lifting up to 10 kg, walking, jogging, cycling, and yoga – all of which help in maintaining healthy BP.
⚠️ However, you should avoid:
• Heavy weight lifting or straining (very high weights, breath-holding during lifts).
• Sudden intense workouts without warm-up.
• Excess caffeine/energy drinks before gym.
