About IWT: Interval Walking Training
Japanese researchers have found a walking method with twice the health benefits of 10.000 daily steps.
Here’s how you do it →
It’s called Interval Walking Training (IWT):
→ 3 minutes slow walking
→ 3 minutes fast walking
Do this five times.
Why should you do it?
* 4× improvement in Blood Pressure compared to regular walking.
* Reduced risk of stroke by 40%
* Improvement in muscle strength
* Improved sleep efficiency by 12%
Finding the Right Intensity:
Fast Walk: You can speak, but are a little breathless. Like you’re hurrying to a meeting.
Slow Walk: You can chat or even sing. A relaxed stroll.

Needs work.
The app freezes or pauses mid-interval. It also lacks a pause button. And it would be better if it more effectively notified you every interval — maybe by vibrating?

Great idea for a simple walking timer - not great functionality
The timer pauses if you switch apps or if your device sleeps. 😕
