Hypertension is an abnormal increase in systolic and/or diastolic blood pressure. About 2/3 of people with hypertension come from low and middle economic countries. In Indonesia, the prevalence of hypertension reaches 34.11% in the population 18 years. Hypertension mostly occurs at 35-44 years old (6.3%), 45-55 years old (11.9%), and 55-64 years old (17.2%). This study aims to teach Brisk Walking Exercise therapy to patients with hypertension in a family. The researcher in this case study uses a descriptive method with a case study approach of efforts to reduce blood pressure with isometric/brisk walking exercise. Researchers took data from one patient with hypertension, with a focus on reducing blood pressure with isometric/brisk walking exercise with an observation period of 3 days. Measurement of blood pressure in hypertensive patients before being taught brisk walking exercise therapy was 150/90 mmHg. Patients often feel dizzy, and the neck feels heavy. After being taught the action of brisk walking exercise 3 times, the patient's blood pressure became 150/90 mmHg.
