Whether you walk Seacliff Beach, run Nisene Marks trails, or cycle Soquel San Jose Road, personalized exercise zones help you train at the right intensity for blood pressure management. Physician clearance required before testing.
Medical Disclaimer: Consult your physician before exercise testing. Uncontrolled hypertension (above 180/110 mmHg) may preclude testing. Do not modify blood pressure medications without physician approval. Testing supports lifestyle interventions but does not replace medical care.

- • 15 minutes via Highway 1 or Soquel Drive

VO₂ Max Test: $250 — Safe exercise intensity zones. Zone 2 aerobic training typically produces the best blood pressure benefits. RMR ($75) for weight management.
Moderate aerobic exercise (Zone 2) lowers resting blood pressure over time. Testing identifies your exact Zone 2 heart rate—avoiding intensity that spikes BP acutely while ensuring enough stimulus for long-term improvement.
