What is the 'Japanese walking' trend and its potential benefits?
Fans claim it's better than walking 10,000 steps a day.
A recent TikTok video by fitness influencer Eugene Teo (@coacheugeneteo) promotes a 30-minute high-intensity interval walking (HIIT) protocol as a superior alternative to the traditional 10,000-step daily goal. Teo claims this method, based on a 2007 Japanese study, offers significantly greater benefits in terms of aerobic fitness, leg strength, and blood pressure reduction. However, these claims require further investigation and verification by independent fitness experts. The video's popularity suggests considerable interest in time-efficient workout routines. "All movements is medicine," Teo states in the video, emphasizing the importance of regular physical activity. While the video's claims need scrutiny, the underlying concept of HIIT and its potential time-saving benefits for busy individuals warrants further exploration and discussion within the fitness community.
