Background: As per the World Health Organization, hypertension is characterized by a minimum diastolic blood pressure of 90 mmHg (12.0 KPa) and a minimum systolic blood pressure of 140 mmHg (18.7 KPa). Added that 25.7% of women and 5% of men in India had hypertension, which was the country's overall prevalence of the condition at 30.7% of the year 2019. Exercises including aerobic and slow breathing are crucial for reducing blood pressure and improving exercise tolerance. Progressive resistive exercise is a non-pharmacological method that can help lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure as part of a healthy lifestyle, even for hypertensive persons. Methodology: Patients with essential hypertension (n=123) were included in this study. They were divided into 3groups,41 for each group, aerobic exercises along with breathing exercise, macqueen resisted exercises along with breathing exercise, breathing exercise along with medications was given respectively for 4 weeks,4 day a week. Pre and post values were noted. Result: There was significant improvement in lowering blood pressure and reducing triglycerides values in all 3 groups individually with p value ? 0.001. There was more effect size for Group B than Group A and Group C comparatively. Conclusion: It is concluded that Group B i.e Macqueen's Progressive Resisted Exercise helps in lowering blood pressure and decreasing triglyceride value in blood than Group A i.e Aerobic exercise(jumping, jogging stepup and stepdown) and Group C i.e breathing exercises
