I listened to Taylor King’s podcast where Lauren Giraldo was a guest and she didn’t really expect that her 12-3-30 would blow up. She was honestly just like “ok I am not comfortable in this gym and I’m not confident enough to lift weights so I’m just gonna go to the treadmill and play with it” and boom 12-3-30 and it just stuck with her cause she enjoyed it and then boom it blew up

I'm so glad that you talked about how walking is underrated. absolutely is! walking for Exercise is something that I've consistently done since I was 11. it has helped me maintain my weight when I have not been strong enough to do heavier workouts.

13.5 2.5 30 I’m 5’10 330lbs lost 25 lbs incorporating this into my workout routine every time I go to the gym. 4 months of consistency

[pistashleyo]

I was using my hands on the bars for months on the treadmill because I didn't trust my balance. I can go for a long while hands free now! Just trust your body!!

[ArcaneLuxian]

I'm 5'3'' but the 2.5 speed is my comfort zone with this. I'm not so comfortable that it's easy but not so hard that I can't handle this. For context I was a once upon a time, nationally ranked cross country runner.

AHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I absolutey despise running and love walking so I wanted a bit more of a challenge, but i’m definitely not up to 12-3-30, my first time doing it I think I could only do an incline of 10, speed of 2mph and for *maybe* 15 minutes, but i’m working my way up! you’ve helped me so much in my fitness journey and i’m SO appreciative of your videos!!!

[dieyavi]

I'm so glad you brought up leg length and walking speed. I always feel like I need to run with my little legs to catch up to my taller friends walking 😅

[danielinaaa]

i do 12 4.5 30, for me speed 3 is too slow since im 5'5(165cm) and after these 30mins my whole body is drenched, feels so good especially after strenght training ❤

[Jazzybsims]

I used to do a version of this when I first started working out and it really helped me lose that last little bit of extra weight I had on me. I started at 3MPH and 10 incline then slowly went up on both alternating every 5 minutes for 30 minutes! It is such a quick easily modified workout!

[ItsGabieLikeBaby]

me trying 12, 3, 30 to begin with was a complete joke 🤣. I've just now built myself up to 9, 2.5, 20 after a couple weeks. But I do love it. I just find a YouTube video to watch and it goes by pretty fast.

[mollytaylor]

Such an educational video! This is great stuff. Question... have you ever tried Next Level Diet? I got a fat-loss meal plan from them and I love it.

[KapuaKuheana]

I’m 5’9” at 263 pounds…I’m hoping to start this soon. I’m so grateful for your honest and informative review of this trendy workout!! I think I enjoy walking since as a mom it’s the bare minimum that I can do so I’m believing to stick with it!!

[lalallama]

Just wanted to say, I love love love how informative all your videos are! They have really helped me shift my mindset towards weight loss in a positive way, so I really appreciate all you do! Keep it up, and congrats on 100k!

[megdiem]

Me at 5’2 : yeah she’s probably so tall that’s why it’s so hard for me
Lauren: 5’1
😂😂 guess I need to work up to it no excuses now

[Charmakeupcorner]

I started this yesterday had to hold on. Talking to my personal trainer about it. Adjusting levels ok especially if you have bad knees. I love walking..good information thanks for the information.

[osirus]

I’m proudly committed to the 1-2-30 plan!

[amayramlew]

you are soo knowledgeable, i wish i knew you a while ago! thanks so much for the video!

One tip…use the MAF 180 Formula to determine the heart rate you should be training at. That is 180 - your age = heart rate. When you use your watch for your workout ensure you remain in that heart rate range, which will help you increase your endurance and stamina over time…and a lot quicker than when training at too low of heart rate or too high.

Basically, if you adjust the workout to fit you, adjust it so you’re training in your optimal zone.

I’m 5’4 (163 cm), 217lbs (98.5 kg) and had no issues completing 12-3-30 on my first try. I weight-lift, live in a very hilly area and bike everywhere, so maybe that’s why. I sweat a bit, especially within the last ten minutes, but it’s nothing like a 5.5/6 speed run or anything. Breathing is steady but obvious any uphill is more effort than no incline.
Anyway, I’m doing the 12-3-30 when I don’t feel like lifting as it’s a low intensity, quick workout to get done in 30 minutes. 10/10 imo.

100kg. Day one. I’ll be updating this comment in 30 days to see the results. Planning to do this every day on a calorie deficit.
