Durma turns everyday walking into a sport you can train for. It counts the minutes that matter, shows your cadence live and keeps your streak going without punishing a missed day. No ads, no account needed. BRISK MINUTES AND CADENCE Durma shows your cadence, in steps per minute, while you walk and tells you whether you are walking at a light, moderate or vigorous intensity. Every minute at a brisk pace adds to your brisk minutes, and the weekly goal follows the guidelines: 150 brisk minutes a week. Set a target cadence and keep it with the metronome, the voice coach or haptic ticks on Apple Watch, and watch your Peak-30 cadence grow over the weeks. EVERY KIND OF WALK - Free walk and brisk walk with a target cadence - Interval walk, including Japanese interval walking: 3 minutes fast, 3 minutes easy, five times - Nordic walk, ruck with your carried load, treadmill with incline and calibrated step length, race walk - Your own programs: warm-up, fast and easy blocks, cool-down, and a target cadence for each block WALKING TESTS Measure your fitness and watch it change: - 6-minute walk test with the safety questions first, a minute-by-minute countdown and a comparison with the reference for your age, sex, height and weight - Rockport test: walk one mile as fast as you can; your time and finish heart rate estimate your VO2max STREAKS THAT FORGIVE Your streak doesn't reset because of one busy day. Walk regularly and you earn streak freezes that protect it. Badges mark your first walk, your first 10 km walk, your brisk weeks and more. SMALL, PRIVATE CHALLENGES Create a challenge, share the invite code and compare steps, brisk minutes or distance with up to 20 friends.
