Japanese Walking: Interval

Walk smarter, not longer. Japanese Walking is a hands-free coach for Interval Walking Training (IWT) — the method developed at Shinshu University in Japan where you alternate 3 minutes of brisk walking with 3 minutes of easy walking, five times, for a 30-minute workout proven to build fitness, leg strength and heart health more effectively than strolling at one steady pace.

Just press start and walk. The coach tells you exactly when to speed up and slow down with clear voice cues, tones and vibration — so you can keep your phone in your pocket and your eyes on the road.
