Transform your daily walk into an effective workout with WalkPace Pro— the simple interval timer based on research from the Mayo Clinic and other institutions showing that alternating fast and slow walking delivers better fitness results than steady-paced exercise.
HOW IT WORKS
• Set your total workout time (5-120 minutes)
• Choose your fast interval length (1-10 minutes)
• Choose your recovery interval length (1-10 minutes)
• Press Start and walk
The app handles everything else. Clear audio cues tell you when to speed up and slow down — even gently interrupting your music or podcasts so you never miss a transition.
FEATURES

• Audio cues that play over your music and podcasts
• Haptic feedback on Apple Watch
• Simple, focused design — no account required
• Siri Shortcuts support ("Start a walk in WalkPace Pro")

THE SCIENCE
Research published in medical journals found that interval walking — alternating 3 minutes of brisk walking with 3 minutes of slower walking — improved fitness, blood sugar control, and body composition more than continuous moderate walking, even when total exercise time was the same.
PERFECT FOR
• Walkers looking to increase their fitness
• Anyone who finds steady cardio boring
• People returning to exercise after a break
• Those who want effective workouts without running
No complicated setup. No subscriptions. Just an effective walking workout in your pocket.
