Japanese Walking Trend Gains Popularity for Health Benefits
The viral 'Japanese walking' trend involves alternating brisk and slow walking in three-minute intervals, promising health benefits similar to a 10,000-step walk. While inspired by a 2007 study and popularized by TikTok influencer Eugene Teo, experts caution that the scientific evidence is limited and the routine may be challenging to follow for some. Nonetheless, short bursts of vigorous activity like this can be beneficial, but viewers should consult healthcare professionals before adopting new exercise routines.
