Try this 30 minute walking technique that is said to be 'better' than doing 10,000 steps a day
This 30 minute walking technique has been scientifcally proven to 'better' your overall health. Over the years there have been many different fitness workouts or hacks trending, but one that has always stuck around is the goal of walking 10,000 steps a day. However, with work schedules and everyday life getting in the way, this can sometimes feel like an unreachable goal. In order to try and complete this task, some people have found a range of creative ways to integrate the exercise into their lifestyle. Some people choose to incorporate more walks into their free time or breaks, while others are investing in walking pads to use while working or watching TV. However, if you can't seem to find a way to include this fitness goal into your everyday routine, one fitness coach has revealed a solution. This specific walking method has been proven to be 'better' for your overall health and will only take half an hour, reports the Mirror. Fitness coach Eugene Teo, who boasted over 401,000 followers on TikTok, has shared a study that suggests another walking technique could be more beneficial for our health and wellbeing. In his video, he said: "You've probably heard that you should walk 10,000 steps a day. But in 2007, Japanese researchers discovered a walking technique that gives you 10 times the benefits in just 30 minutes." Developed by researchers in Japan, the Japanese Interval Walking Technique - otherwise known as Intermittent Walking or Interval Walking Training - involves intervals of fast and moderate-paced walking. This method is said to enhance your cardiovascular fitness, metabolism and overall health. Eugene explained: "So instead of a 10,000 step target, you switch between three minutes of fast walking and three minutes of slow walking for five total sets. "The results were surprising. Compared to hitting 10,000 steps, this walking protocol showed 29 times boost over aerobic fitness, a ten times improvement in leg strength, and a three times improvement in blood pressure." According to the study, high-intensity interval walking could combat the increase in blood pressure and decrease in high muscle strength and aerobic capacity that comes with ageing. Eugene went on: "10,000 steps is still a fantastic target, but it takes around one to two hours of intentional movement. This protocol is just 30 minutes. All movement is medicine, but if you're short on time or want to get the most bang for your buck, this is for you." In the video's caption, he shared: "I know I can't be the only one who looks at my step count at the end of the day and feel like a failure. Some days, I get around 2,000 steps. I still aim for at least 8,000 a day - but sometimes, life just gets in the way. "But even if it's only an extra 3000 steps, this simple 30 minute protocol on my walking pad can make a huge difference." Only uploaded three days ago, the video currently has 5.9million views. After watching the video, some TikTok users shared their thoughts on the new walking technique, while others asked questions. One user asked: "What speed is fast and what speed is slow?", to which another person replied: "the fast walking normally is fast enough to still keeping a conversation while walking without short in breath. Mine is around 5/6 km/ h." Another person added: "I think this whole thing is getting misconstrued, yall need to be active, like everyday and that will yield fantastic results. Some days you'll hit 5k some days you'll hit 20k just stay active." This was followed by a fourth person saying: "I mean it makes sense it's like exercising with a rest but slightly different and less intense." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Race Walking Emerges as the Next Big Cardio Trend: Fast Walking for Optimal Fitness
MIAMI, May 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Regular walking is universally celebrated as a great way to keep moving, but often it doesn't elevate the heart rate sufficiently for serious cardiovascular benefits. Enter Race Walking—an Olympic Track & Field event since 1904—that combines intense cardio benefits of running without the joint-pounding impacts. "Race Walking provides all the health benefits of running but significantly reduces wear and tear on your joints," says Jeremy Goldstein, founder of "You're achieving rigorous cardio exercise while strengthening your hips and knees, which positions you for excellent long-term health." Unlike a leisurely stroll, Race Walking involves dynamic, purposeful movements designed to elevate your heart rate rapidly. Utilizing vigorous arm swings, hip rotation for increased stride length, and strong calf pushes to propel forward, Race Walkers engage their entire body in ways most traditional exercises cannot match. "When done correctly, you're getting a total body workout," adds Goldstein. "The arms, core, hips, and legs are all activated extensively." While Race Walking's dramatic physical movements might look amusing—famously portrayed in the Chris Paul State Farm commercial—Olympians who achieve a mile pace as swift as 5 minutes and 31 seconds clearly demonstrate that this is no laughing matter. Goldstein emphasizes, "It's a remarkable feat, combining incredible speed with minimal joint impact." Those hesitant to fully adopt Race Walking's precise techniques and official rules can still incorporate its fundamental concepts into their walking routines for enhanced benefits. features instructional videos by renowned Race Walking coach and World Athletics Gold Level Judge Jeff Salvage, helping newcomers learn essential techniques. Goldstein himself integrated these techniques, successfully completing the marathon segment of a grueling 140.6-mile Ironman event. "Using Race Walking methods, I see my heart rate elevated, and I'm achieving the best fitness levels of my life," Goldstein shares. "Anyone can master these techniques and comfortably achieve an 11-minute mile walking pace, preparing them for virtually any competitive event." Yet, Goldstein advises cautious progression: "Race Walking is more challenging than it appears, rapidly raising your heart rate. Beginners should first familiarize themselves with the proper form before increasing speed or distance." Ready to elevate your walking routine? Visit to connect directly with Jeremy Goldstein, who eagerly offers personalized advice to incorporate Race Walking into your fitness journey.
