High-intensity workouts are not the only way to exercise. Taking a few extra steps a day can bring tremendous health benefits too, and walking assistant WalkUp helps make training sessions out of your daily stroll.

What we love: This AI-driven walking app takes our physical condition into account to build routines that mix steady walks with bursts of speed. There are also training sessions tailored for specific scenarios such as before bed, after lunch and during pregnancy, ready-made for a wide range of needs.

Quick tip: Aim for between 90 and 120 steps per minute when power walking, a faster pace compared to the regular stroll. Turn on the Step counter under Settings and match the counter’s rhythm to achieve your exercise goals.
