Japanese interval walking is a new fitness trend that alternates between three minutes of fast walking and three minutes of slow walking, performed for a total of 30 minutes. The fast pace is designed to be vigorous enough that conversation is difficult, while the slow interval allows for recovery. This method is particularly beneficial for individuals who are injury-prone or older adults with low levels of physical activity. Compared to standard high-intensity interval training, it provides a gentler introduction to interval training for less active individuals.
Japanese interval walking involves alternating between three minutes of fast walking and three minutes of slow walking, ideally for a total of 30 minutes.
The fast pace should be vigorous enough that you cannot maintain a conversation, while the slow pace allows full recovery.
This walking method is especially beneficial for individuals prone to running injuries and older adults who may not engage in regular exercise.
Compared to traditional HIIT, this regime offers a gentler approach to interval training, making it accessible for people just beginning their fitness journey.
