High blood pressure more likely in the winter

If you have high blood pressure, you might want to keep a closer eye on it as the seasons change. A recent study found that patients with hypertension were better able to control their blood pressure during the summer months than over the winter. Researchers theorize that people are more physically active in the summertime, and that it's common to gain weight over the winter.

While it's a good idea to keep an eye on your blood pressure, it's also smart to keep those good summer habits going all winter long. Adjust your summer workout by adding layers of clothing and winter gear, or bring your workout inside by joining a gym or ordering a workout DVD. What are some indoor workouts that you like?
