Japanese interwell walking
For years, we have been hearing that to stay fit and healthy, it is necessary to take 10,000 steps daily. It has been considered a golden rule to lose weight and achieve fitness rounds. But a new walking technology from Japan recently is becoming quite viral on social media. It is claimed that this can give better results in less time. Its name is Japanese Interval Walking. Let’s know what is this and why it is beneficial.
Walking is one of the easiest and effective exercises, which can be done at any age. Walking daily burns calories, which keeps weight under control. It strengthens heart health, increases blood circulation and improves the body’s stamina. Walking reduces stress, improves sleep and mood remains fresh. Regular walking also reduces the risk of problems like diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol. At the same time, it increases the flexibility of the joints and keeps the muscles active.
How is Japanese interval walking beneficial?
Associate Professor of University of Copenhagen, Dr. Christian CarStoff According to, interval walking includes three minutes fast walking and three minutes slow walk. It is repeated for 30 minutes. This method is especially for those who want the benefit of running but do not want to put much pressure on the couples. This technology is very beneficial for middle-edged or elderly people, especially those who do not do regular workouts. If you are already very fit then you can increase the benefit by changing sharp interval into jogging or running.
The study found that interval walking not only leads to blood pressure control but also increases the strength of knees. In the trial conducted on Type-2 diabetes patients, the adoption of this technique for four months saw blood sugar control and complete health improvement. People can lose 3-5 kg weight by taking this walk daily for 4-6 months, which is mostly from body fat.

Wear comfortable and supportive shoes.
Do light stretching before the walk.
The patient of heart or any serious illness should start with the advice of a doctor.
