In the ever-evolving world of fitness, we see new trends emerging on a regular basis. Now, a new exercise routine seems to have captured the attention of fitness enthusiasts globally — the ’12-3-30 workout’, touted as being extremely effective for weight loss.
Originally shared by Lauren Giraldo, a social media influencer, on Instagram, she said that it helped her lose over 30 pounds. “I’m not a runner and running on the treadmill was not working for me,” she told TODAY. “So, I started playing around with the settings, and at the time, my gym’s treadmill had 12 inclines as the max. The three miles per hour felt right, like walking, and my grandma had always told me that 30 minutes of exercise a day was all you needed. That’s how the combination started,” she added.
Now, proponents of the ’12-3-30- a treadmill-based cardio workout’ swear by it to be a simple regimen to burn calories and lose weight, all while boosting your fitness and cardiovascular health.
The name may seem confusing, but the 12-3-30 workout is straightforward. “Each number represents a part of the workout: increase your treadmill incline level to 12%, set the speed to 3 miles per hour (mph), and walk for 30 minutes,” Jiggyasa Gupta, a nutrition and fitness coach, FITTR told indianexpress.com.
