Not entirely true. Exercise significantly lowers blood pressure for several hours afterwards - a relaxation of the arteries & veins is a normal part of the physiological response to sustained exertion. More importantly, regular aerobic exercise keeps the average BP down. There are transient peaks during activity, but getting into it all gradually and working up to higher levels, as you suggested, moderates that aspect.
Then, of course there is the endorphin rush that follows a good workout. I've been a lifelong exercise nut and learned long ago that, while it didn't solve any of my problems, for several hours after a good workout I didn't give a damn about them.
It also helps with the arm wrestling !
And I've just found out (only because I've been too lazy to do the research) that excessive bicycling can be bad for the prostate. As I am only prostrate after I fall off, its of no concern to me.
