Japanese walking (also called interval walking) is a scientifically researched walking method from Japan. You alternate between brisk walking and relaxed/slow walking in 3-minute intervals. It improves cardiovascular health, builds leg strength, and promotes weight loss, all while being joint-friendly and accessible to any fitness level. And unlike walking 10,000 steps, which takes 1.5 to 2 hours a day, Japanese walking only takes 30 minutes. Brisk makes Japanese walking delightful! Automatic intervals — Brisk guides your pace changes as you walk Background tracking — Audio cues, Apple Watch, and Live Activity on your lock screen keep you on track without having to keep the app open Competed walk details — See your route, distance, pace, calories, and heart rate after the walk Apple Health sync — Your walks automatically sync with Apple Health Build lasting habits — Streaks, weekly goals, and reminders keep you consistent Chart your progress — The pace, distance, and calories burned charts celebrate your improvements Beautiful widgets — Your weekly progress and last walk summary are available at a glance on your home and lock screen So what are you waiting for? Take the first step today! NOTE: We do not offer medical advice. Please consult with a medical professional before starting interval walking or using Brisk.
