A recent TikTok trend is promoting high-intensity interval walking as a way to improve health. Based on a 2007 Japanese study, users are embracing the technique of alternating between fast and slow walking for 30 minutes at least four days a week. This method has been found to lower blood pressure, build muscle, and enhance aerobic capacity. Researchers suggest that high-intensity interval walking offers greater benefits than continuous moderate-paced walking. While it may not burn significantly more calories, it provides psychological motivation and variety to traditional walking routines. Experts recommend incorporating this technique as part of the weekly physical activity routine, emphasizing the importance of staying active regardless of the exercise method chosen. (Cbc)
