Blood pressure is measured using a sphygmomanometer, a statistical test used by Non-parametric. To see blood pressure before and after elderly exercise using the t-test. After doing elderly gymnastics for six times in 2 weeks, there are differences in the value of blood pressure in the elderly before and after elderly gymnastics with a p-value of 0.000. Thus, it is expected that elderly gymnastics can be used as an alternative nursing action in handling hypertension, especially in the elderly. Abstrak Hipertensi merupakan suatau keadaan yang sering dialami oleh lansia, dengan bertambahnya umur mengakibatkan tekanan darah meningkat, karena dinding arteri pada usia lanjut (lansia) akan mengalami penebalan yang mengakibatkan penumpukan zat kolagen pada lapisan otot, sehingga pembuluh darah akan berangsur-angsur menyempit dan menjadi kaku. Untuk menghindari atau menurunkan resiko penumpukan zat kolagen dan aterosklerosis yang merupakan salah satu penyebab hipertensi, maka diperlukan olahraga yang teratur. Senam lansia merupakan serangkaian gerak nada yang teratur dan terarah serta terencana yang diikuti oleh orang lanjut usia dalam bentuk latihan fisik yang berpengaruh terhadap kemampuan fisik lansia, yang akan membantu tubuh agar tetap bugar dan tetap segar karena melatih tulang tetap kuat dan membantu menghilangkan radikal bebas yang berkeliaran dalam tubuh  serta dapat melenturkan pembuluh darah. Penelitian ini merupakan jenis penelitian eksperimen semu (quasi experiment) dengan rancangan pre and post test without control. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Kecamatan Darussalam Kabupaten Aceh Besar terhadap lansia yang mengalami hipertensi. Tekanan darah di ukur dengan menggunakan spigmomanometer, uji statistik yang digunakan Non-parametrik. Untuk melihat tekanan darah sebelum dan sesudah senam lansia menggunakan Uji t-test. Setelah dilakukan senam lansia selama enam (6) kali dalam waktu 2 (dua) minggu pada lansia yang mengalami hipertensi, secara umum terdapat perbedaan tekanan darah pada lansia sebelum dan sesudah senam lansia dengan p-value 0,000, dengan demikian diharapkan senam lansia ini dapat dijadikan sebagai salah satu alternatif tindakan keperawatan dalam penanganan hipertensi terutama pada lansia.
