I will start this article with a strong warning – I’m not a personal trainer or walking coach, I am a fitness editor and fans who review gear and test new workouts to live.
Like the rest of the world of fitness, I have recently swept into the Japanese walking method, and it has changed my walking exercise in a good way, but after a month, I found myself thinking, what’s next?
You need to keep your workouts forward. With walking workout, it’s very easy – you walk easily, gain weight in the form of weight vest (or in my case, a baby gets stuck in your torso), walk on the hill, or increase time to spend walking.

That said, if you are looking for a new walking exercise to try this summer, why not give me 3-4-5 how to walk? Read to find out how to do it. As a reminder, if you are returning to exercise after an injury or pregnancy, it is always a good idea to sign by a medical professional before taking the new routine.
What is 3-4-5 walking workout?
Like the Japanese walking method, my 3-4-5 workout is a form of HIIT training that involves changing speed throughout the session. I already found it better to program a walking workout on my Apple Watch (how to create a custom exercise on your Apple Watch here), but you can do the same on most of the best fitness trackers.
If you do not have a fitness tracker, use just a stop watch or stop watch on your smartphone.
How to do it is:
- Live for three minutes on a low intensity. It should be 4/10 – you are still moving, but you should easily be able to communicate with someone with you.
- Then walk four minutes on a high intensity. This is an attempt to walk 7/10 – you should work hard.
- Repeat it 5 times. You will last 35 minutes tomorrow.

I am doing 3-4-5 walking workouts from a week-there are benefits
As you may have seen, it increases the Japanese walking method by increasingly running the Japanese and increasing the Japanese walking method. What I saw is this:
All differences make up with an additional 60 seconds of work
60 seconds do not look like a long time, unless you put the strength in another minute of fast walking. The extra -minute work took this feeling a step by three minutes of intervals involved in the Japanese walking method. This is enough to keep your heartbeat a little longer, and I felt as if I worked hard and burned more calories during this walking exercise.
One of the benefits of adding intervals to your walk is increasing your heart rate. This helps reduce your blood pressure and cholesterol, and increases your aerobic capacity for the same time continuously running at a moderate pace.
If you just run at a moderate pace for 35 minutes, you are likely to burn more calories, which is useful if you are running for weight loss.
Knowing how often I was repeating the intervals
I have run five marathons, and one thing that always goes through the last mail is counting. From Mail 20, I count every step up to 100, then I will resume, or work to see how many minutes I have left and count. When it is difficult to go, it helps keep my brain busy.
When I walk, counting intervals, left -hand intervals, work, or lap in my lap, I use a similar technique. I liked to count five during this workout – knowing that I had only one break or four minutes left, I allowed me to move forward.
It increased my heartbeat and increased my mood
I’m not running to lose weight, but using it as a way to rebuild my fitness posture, and keep moving in days when my toddler does not go on day care, and I can’t go ahead for the run.
It is also an excellent form of active recovery, and my legs are very tightening between running and strength training sessions. I have to walk my dog every day, so why not mix it with it?
In addition to adding my heartbeat and feeling that I have done any workouts, with not just a pod cast, my 3-4-5 walking workouts left me with all the happy, after-exercise endorphins flowing into my body before sitting at my desk.
This is a fun challenge, and one can do you for free from anywhere. If you really want to work on your legs, do in your local park, or in a hill, with a friend or dog, on the treadmill. All you need is a pair of shoes and 35 minutes. Happy walk!
