As people increasingly look for low-impact workouts that fit into their daily routine, walking<\/a> remains a favourite. But even this basic activity has variations that can dramatically change the results. Mansi Grover, a 38-year-old woman, says she lost inches by switching to a Japanese walking method, a style she insists boosts calorie burn much more than the way most of us normally walk.

In her November 15 Instagram post, she wrote, \u201cIf you think walking doesn\u2019t give results\u2026 it\u2019s because you haven\u2019t tried the Japanese way of walking. This method activates your core, improves posture, and burns more calories<\/a> than normal walking. It\u2019s perfect for beginners, PCOS, thyroid, postpartum, and knee issues.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here are the steps she recommends:<\/p>\n

1. 3-second inhale<\/p>\n

Walk slowly and inhale through your nose for 3 seconds while keeping your spine tall and steady.<\/p>\n

2. 7-second exhale<\/p>\n

Exhale through your mouth for 7 seconds and gently tighten your core as you walk.<\/p>\n

3. Small, controlled steps<\/p>\n

Avoid long strides. Taking smaller steps helps engage the deeper core muscles.<\/p>\n

4. Posture up<\/p>\n

Keep your chest open, shoulders relaxed, and chin slightly up. Mansi says this alone helps make the waist appear slimmer over time.<\/p>\n

5. Walk for 10\u201312 minutes daily<\/p>\n

She claims that maintaining this breathing-and-walking rhythm, not fast walking, not cardio<\/a>, led to noticeable inch loss within 2\u20133 weeks.<\/p>\n

According to her, this method works because it engages the deep inner abdominal muscles, reduces bloating, improves lung capacity through controlled breathing, boosts calorie burn without stressing the joints, and helps trim the waist and lower belly over time. As Mansi puts it, \u201cRegular walking makes your legs work; Japanese walking makes your core work.\u201d<\/p>\n
