Japanese Walking

The Japanese Walking method maximizes daily walks by alternating fast and slow paces. A 30-minute interval session can yield greater health benefits than simply aiming for 10,000 steps. This Chrome extension provides a timer that guides you through 3 minutes of fast walking followed by 3 minutes of slow walking, repeated 10 times, with notifications to speed up or slow down and optional reminders to walk. It also tracks your walk history and rewards you with achievements to stay motivated.

Key features include a modern design with light/dark mode and customizable color themes. Privacy is prioritized: all data is stored on your device, and usage analytics (city and pages viewed) are optional and can be disabled. You control what notifications you receive.
