"Hi, I am Doctor Terranella and we want to demonstrate some of the changes in blood pressure that occur with activity. So, we took Bob's blood pressure earlier, it was around one hundred and twenty over eighty, and now we are going to have him exercise, and take his blood pressure again and see how those changes occur. Then in the next segment we are going to talk about a little bit of the physiology behind how that blood pressure is changing. So, we just took Bob to his Target Heart Rate, and we saw that he did some exercise and now we want to demonstrate some of the changes that have occurred in his blood pressure now that we have done that. Okay. Good, just relax that arm. Okay, so his blood pressure there was now one hundred and forty over eighty. So, we can see that it is a little bit elevated with the activity that we just did and now we want to demonstrate using some common house hold items. How those affects are actually taking place in the body."
