Boost Your Heart Health with Japanese Walking

There’s a reason the Japanese walking heart-shaped: It doesn’t jolt the joints, and it rocks for fitness.

Japanese walking has received much more attention as a form of physical exercise that is easy on the joints and the heart.

If you do this, you'll still be able to have some high percentage of activity level continue, cardiovascular system and then raise your body's tolerance. It not only strains your joints, but it's a huge burden on the heart and lungs as well, meaning that you get double the benefits of exercise.

How do you walk in Japanese?

Walking: In Japanese walking, you go back and forth between walking slowly for three minutes and briskly for three. It’s fast walking, but not as you know it. And you might have to do it all again, assuming, of course, you can make it through for 30 minutes or more at a clip.

 It should be as much of a health challenge as we typically think of high-intensity running and other strenuous workouts to be, but without stressing the body nearly so much. It's a nice choice for on-the-go people focused on heart and joint health.

Why Is Japanese Walking All the Rage?

There are a couple main reasons Japan Walking has grown more popular. It's:

Safer for Joints: Running can be tough on your joints, especially if you’re just getting into it or already have joint issues. Walking the Japanese way has less impact on your knees, hips and lower back, so it is safer.

Good for Heart: Why it's good to walk fast and slow Good for the Heart: Why it's good for your heart to walk fast (short periods of time) and then slow (long periods of time). It gives you more energy and makes your heart work better. Studies also suggest that walking on a regular basis can reduce blood pressure, cholesterol and the risk of heart disease.

It’s simple: just find a safe place to walk and shoes that don’t hurt your feet. You can do Japanese walking every day, regardless of whether you are in a park, on a bicycle, or just in your neighbourhood.

Health Benefits in 30 Minutes: Believe it or not, you can achieve many health benefits with only 30 minutes of interval walking. It's also a fast way to get a workout, and that’s perfect for busy people who still want to exercise.

What does Japanese walking do to your heart?

Popular among walkers: Originally Published on sitename.com Popular among walkers, Japanese walking is beneficial for your heart. Fast and then slow walking is the best thing you can do to keep your heart healthy. This is how it works:

Cells get richer in oxygen and nutrients: you walk quickly while walking slowly / it is good for the blood. That enables cells to get more oxygen and food.

Reduced Blood Pressure: Walking and other physical activities can keep your high blood pressure in check. This takes the strain off of the heart.

Lower LDL: Heart-pumping exercise can lower LDL (bad cholesterol) levels and raise HDL (good cholesterol) levels. This could reduce the risk of heart disease. Both of these are heart healthy. That’s because the break in Japanese walking makes your heart stronger as time goes on and allows you to walk faster and farther.

Other Pleasant Perks Besides Heart Health

Maintain a healthy body weight: Walking every day can help you lose weight or maintain a healthy body weight. Another way to get your body moving is by alternating between walking fast and slow. This aids in eliminating fat from your body.

Good for arthritis or joint pain: High-impact exercises such as running can be hard on your joints. For those with arthritis or joint pain—or for anyone just looking to take it easier—there’s no less intense workout than walking in Japan.

Feel better and less anxious: when you work out, your body releases chemicals called endorphins. They can help you feel better and less anxious. One way to obtain these chemicals is by walking. And walking to a regular beat can help you wind down, clear your head and feel mentally better as well.
