WalkPace Pro

About

Get more from every walk — backed by research from the Mayo Clinic. WalkPace Pro is a simple interval walking timer based on the science of alternating fast and slow walking. Studies show this method — sometimes called Japanese walking — delivers better fitness, strength, and cardiovascular results than walking at a steady pace, even when total exercise time is the same. Just set your time, press start, and follow the audio cues. That's it. HOW IT WORKS • Set your total workout time (5–120 minutes) • Choose your fast and recovery interval lengths (1–10 minutes each) • Press Start and walk Clear audio cues tell you when to speed up and slow down — gently interrupting your music or podcast so you never miss a transition. Lock your phone and keep walking. WHY INTERVAL WALKING? Research published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings found that alternating 3 minutes of brisk walking with 3 minutes of easy walking significantly outperformed continuous moderate walking. Participants saw improvements in aerobic fitness, leg strength, blood pressure, and blood sugar control. A separate study found peak aerobic capacity increased 27% in sedentary adults after just 3 months. The protocol is simple, the science is strong, and you don't need to run.
