Japanese interval walking: the viral exercise trend that could put a spring in your step

Alternating between fast and slow walking is particularly suited to people who do not do much regular exercise

If the thought of pumping iron or holding a plank doesn’t put a spring in your step, maybe the latest exercise trend to dominate social media will: Japanese interval walking.

The idea is simple: alternate between three minutes of fast and three minutes of slow walking, ideally for 30 minutes at a time.
