Research from Shinshu University in Japan suggests that alternating between brisk and slow walking for 30 minutes, 3 times a week, may help improve aerobic fitness, leg strength, and blood pressure — potentially more effectively than walking at a constant pace. WalkPace makes this method simple. No gym required. Just walk.
