Introduction: Hypertension is the most common chronic disease. There is a relationship between physical activity and a decrease in blood pressure figures. Objective: to evaluate the efficacy of a physical activity intervention program in hypertensive subjects. Methods: A randomized clinical trial was conducted with a physical activity intervention program from February to November 2019, with a control group and an intervention group. Results: At the end of the intervention, the participants' group decreased the risk of cardiovascular events and systolic blood pressure (p = 0.059) and BMI (p = 0.062). Conclusions: The intervention program increased physical activity and reduced cardiovascular risk and systolic blood pressure
