It is not critical that you maintain a strict schedule with Zona PLUSTM Exercise. If you forget or are unable to do it one day, simply do it the next. What is important is that you exercise three times a week. The exact schedule is up to you.
Q. Can't I squeeze a ball or ordinary handgrip and get the same effect?
No. The patented Zona PLUSTM Handgrip programs and optimizes your exercise routine. It combines a precision compression gauge with a digital processor to show you exactly how much force to apply and for how long. Gripping too hard and long might drive blood pressure into an unsafe range, while too little gripping force will not achieve the benefit. The Zona PLUSTM Handgrip provides a personal, safe, and effective program with proven results.
Q. If I am currently taking hypertension medication, should I stop using it?
No. You must consult your physician prior to reducing or discontinuing any hypertension medication. However, physicians have reduced or stopped the use of medication for many Zona PLUSTM users. For many people, especially those with prehypertension, Zona PLUSTM Exercise lowers blood pressure so effectively that drug therapy can ultimately be discontinued or even avoided altogether. If you have Stage 1 or Stage 2 hypertension, your physician should continue to monitor your blood pressure and perform periodic physical examinations to detect or assess organ damage. After your blood pressure is stabilized at target levels, physical examinations may be required less frequently.
Q. Can't I lower my blood pressure with aerobic exercise?
Aerobic exercise—running, biking, etc., is good for you but Zona PLUSTM Exercise is a highly-targeted form of exercise aimed specifically at lowering blood pressure.
