1. Boosts Heart Health
Interval walking alternates between fast and slow paces, which strengthens your heart muscles and improves blood circulation, keeping your cardiovascular system in great shape.
2. Helps in Weight Loss
The variation in speed during interval walking burns more calories than regular walking, helping you shed extra fat faster and maintain a healthy weight.
3. Increases Stamina and Endurance
This technique trains your body to handle bursts of effort followed by recovery, gradually improving your lung capacity and overall stamina.
4. Improves Blood Sugar Control
Interval walking enhances insulin sensitivity, helping stabilize blood sugar levels and reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes.
5. Keeps Mind Fresh and Stress-Free
Switching between slow and brisk walking stimulates endorphin release, reducing stress, anxiety, and mental fatigue — leaving you refreshed and focused.
Right Method:
- Start with 5 minutes of normal walking to warm up.
- Walk briskly for 3 minutes, then slow down for 2 minutes to recover.
- Repeat this cycle 5 times (total 25 minutes).
- End with 5 minutes of slow walking to cool down.
- Keep posture upright and breathe deeply throughout.
