Background: Hypertension is a non-communicable disease that ranks among the leading causes of death worldwide. According to 2023 WHO data, the global prevalence of hypertension reached 33%, while in Indonesia it stood at 30.8%. In Pesawaran Regency, the Hanura Community Health Center reported 1,749 cases of hypertension, making it the fifth most common disease. In Dusun 7 Mutun, 58% of the 69 households are affected by hypertension. One non-pharmacological approach proven effective in lowering blood pressure is hypertension exercise. Purpose: Reducing Blood Pressure in Hypertensive Patients Through a Hypertension Exercise Intervention. Method: The intervention was conducted over three days (May 14–16, 2025) in Dusun 7 Mutun, Sukajaya Lempasing Village, Pesawaran Regency. Ten hypertensive respondents participated. The program included a brief educational session and practical hypertension exercises. Evaluation involved measuring participants’ blood pressure before and after the intervention (pre-test and post-test). Results: Obtaining a mean pre-test systolic blood pressure value of 155.5 mmHg with a standard deviation of 11,891 and a mean post-test value of 132.5 mmHg with a standard deviation of 11,365. While the mean pre-test diastolic blood pressure value was 96.0 mmHg with a standard deviation of 6,992 and a mean post-test value of 79.0 mmHg with a standard deviation of 7,379. Conclusion: Hypertension exercise has been proven effective as a non-pharmacological intervention for reducing blood pressure.   Suggestion: Hypertension exercise should be implemented on an ongoing basis as an integral part of the community’s healthy lifestyle.
