Why is blood pressure measured while we are resting Vs being measured while we are moving and active.

What good does a blood pressure reading do if you are sitting down with a perfect 120/80 but once you start doing activity’s it rises 10-20 values. Considering that we are active most of the day would the higher values be bad for our body?

What you need is a baseline level, your blood pressure can change dramatically with activity which reflects more on the activity than what your true blood pressure is. So you could potentially always get a high reading if you did a specific activity, which would tell you more about the activity than your blood pressure. https://youtu.be/aO5M_em6_F4
