Asian walking, often specifically referred to as "Japanese walking," is a fitness method known as interval walking training (IWT). It involves alternating between three minutes of brisk walking at about 70% of your maximum aerobic capacity and three minutes of slower recovery walking at about 40%. This cycle is repeated for around 30 minutes. Originating from research in Japan about 20 years ago, this method was designed to improve cardiovascular health, muscle strength, and overall fitness, especially for older adults. Studies show that it can boost aerobic capacity, lower blood pressure, and enhance leg strength more effectively than steady-paced walking. This style of walking has recently gained popularity on social media platforms like TikTok for its simplicity and health benefits.
