How Intermittent Walking Helps You Lose Weight

1. What is interval walking?

According to Dr. Nguyen Trong Thuy (Former Doctor of the National Men's Football Team and U23 Vietnam), interval walking is a form of exercise that combines a short period of fast walking, followed by a period of walking at a slower pace. For example, a person practicing interval walking walks fast for 30 seconds at a jogging pace and then walks slowly for the next 30 seconds.

Interval walking is a method to improve exercise frequency, creating a stepping stone for the practitioner to switch to jogging.
