If you want to start exercising but don’t enjoy running, Japanese Walking may be an easier option to stick with. It doesn’t require complicated equipment. The core idea is simply alternating between fast walking and slow walking, helping your body complete a low-impact cardio workout.
Interval Walking That’s Better for Beginners
Japanese Walking can be understood as a form of interval walking training. A common method is: walk fast for 3 minutes, then walk slowly for 3 minutes, repeating the cycle 3-5 times.
During the fast-walking phase, your body may start to sweat slightly and your breathing becomes faster. During the slow-walking phase, your heart rate and breathing recover. Compared with running or continuous high-intensity exercise, this walking workout puts less stress on the body and is easier to maintain as a daily routine.
It is suitable for people who sit for long hours at work, have low activity levels, want to lose fat but don’t like running, or prefer exercising at home. With just 20-30 minutes a day, you can complete a basic workout.
Doing Japanese Walking at Home
If you want to practice at home, the BestGod TX Pro Walking Pad can make it more convenient. It is not affected by weather or commuting time, so you can complete fast-walk and slow-walk intervals anytime. It also features a manual incline, allowing you to adjust the slope and change the workout intensity.
Beginners can use the following as a reference:
Slow walk recovery: 1.0-1.8 mph
Fast walk training: 2.2-3.0 mph
Rhythm: 3 minutes fast walking + 3 minutes slow walking, repeated 3-5 times
If you already have a fitness base, you can increase your fast-walking speed or raise the incline during the fast-walking phase. This helps engage the legs and glutes more, turning regular walking into a more effective low-impact cardio workout.
After finishing your workout, you can also switch to Vibration Mode as a post-exercise relaxation step.
Japanese Walking is simple, low-impact, and easy to start. With the BestGod TX Pro Walking Pad, you can complete the workout at home and use the manual incline and vibration mode to make your exercise habit easier to maintain over the long term.
