## What is Sokuho?

Walk briskly. Take it easy. Sokuho guides your interval walk with a clear timer and distinct pace-change cues right on your wrist.

For Japanese walking and your own training rhythm: start on your Watch, follow the cues, then explore your heart-rate chart afterwards.

YOUR RHYTHM ON YOUR WRIST
• Brisk and easy intervals with a large countdown.
• Distinct haptics: 4 quick signals for brisk intervals, 3 slower signals for easy intervals.
• Optional sounds or spoken cues for phase changes, pauses and completion.
• Pause, resume and finish early from your Watch.

A SESSION THAT FITS YOU
• Adjust brisk and easy durations, rounds, warm-up and cool-down.
• Default session: 8 minutes warming up, 5 brisk intervals of 3 minutes, 4 easy intervals of 3 minutes between them, then 5 minutes cooling down. Total: 40 minutes.
• Custom intervals for running, cycling and other activities too.

LOOK BACK AT YOUR HEART RATE
• With your permission, save workouts in Health and reopen them later.
• Review your heart-rate curve alongside coloured interval phases and the heart-rate ranges saved with that session.
• Switch between a focused vertical scale and the full heart-rate range, and inspect measurements for each phase.
• General heart-rate ranges based on a maximum heart rate estimated from your age, clearly labelled as an estimate, or on your known personal maximum heart rate.

SIMPLE AND PRIVATE
• Independent Watch app requiring watchOS 10 or later.
• No account, no advertising and no tracking.
• Settings stay on your Watch; authorised workout and heart-rate data are handled through Health.
• 18 languages, an included guide and links to research sources.

Heart-rate ranges are general guidance and do not replace individual training or medical advice. Age-based values are estimates. The app does not guarantee health outcomes.
