When did working out become so…complicated? Pricey gym memberships, workout systems that take up precious space in the garage, and don’t even get me started on finding the “right” running shoe for your feet (if such a thing even exists).
Yes, there’s far too much confusion surrounding walking and running in terms of fitness. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Working out using your own two feet does not need to resemble an excellent Avril Lavigne song.

In the early 2000s, a team of researchers at Shinshu University in Nagano, Japan, found themselves grappling with a head-scratching dilemma.
Japan’s population is consistently ranked as one of the world’s oldest. In 2023, it was reported that nearly a third of Japan’s population had already hit 65 years old (an estimated 36.23 million people—approximately the population size of Ghana), with one in every 10 people being 80 years or older.
In a world where fitness increasingly feels expensive and complicated, people want something real and accessible. Japanese Walking connects with so many people because it works—it’s not a fad or a viral moment. Interval walking training was developed in a lab to scientifically strengthen the bones and bodies of Japan’s growing elderly population, and by doing so, offered a rare gift to the rest of the world: a path to fitness that’s not just effective, but also efficient, and. most importantly, sustainable.
Oh, and it’s accessible! You already possess everything you need to succeed in Walking Interval Training.
You, a pair of shoes, and 30 minutes to spare, preferably outdoors.
