Four short walks a day helps keep BP in check - Yahoo! News

Four short walks a day helps keep BP in check - Yahoo! News:
"After four 10-minute sessions on a treadmill, spaced an hour apart, people's blood pressures were reduced for three to four hours longer than after a single 40-minute treadmill workout, Dr. Saejong Park of Indiana University in Bloomington and colleagues found.

'Results of our study indicate that as few as four 10-minute walking sessions per day is effective in reducing blood pressure in prehypertension,' Park and his team conclude in a report in the Journal of Hypertension."
