Answer 4

This depends on a number of things, such as your age, whether or not you already have heart disease or other chronic health problems, etc. It's important to get your doctor's OK before exercising and start very moderately. Be sure your blood pressure is well controlled before you start a program.

Answer 5

There really is no limit to how you can exercise, just don't push yourself too much. Since you have hypertension, you should stay within the lower boundaries of your target heart rate. Your maximum heart rate is (220-age). Since I don't know your age, I cannot give you a target heart rate, for a 50 year old person with hypertension, their target heart rate should be 102 - 130 BPM. You can calculate your target heart rate by taking your maximum heart rate and multiplying it by 0.6 to get a good target heart rate for yourself.
