The 12-3-30 workout has picked up a lot of popularity lately but is It the right workout for you right now?
Let's break it down
12-3-30
12% = incline (intensity)
3 = MPH (speed)
30 = minutes (length of time)
If you are a beginner or someone that is just getting back into the swing of a workout routine the 12-3-30 workout may not be the place to start.
Don't get me wrong. This is a great workout but it may be a little bit too intense for beginners or anyone just getting back into cardio. I love a good hard workout, but I'm also realistic and all about being safe and working your way up.
I would start at a lower incline, a slower speed, and maybe even a shorter time frame.
EXAMPLE
6 % incline - 2.5mph -20 min to 30min
A 6 percent incline at 2.5 mph for 20-30 minutes Might be a better workout to start out with. From this you can slowly work your way up to the 12 3 30 workout. The best part is you can switch up any of these three variables for a different workout.
You are not a failure if you can jump right into doing the 12-3-30 workout with ease. It's just something to work your way towards.
Check the ego at the door.. and remember… go at a pace and incline you can maintain WITHOUT holding on to the machine.
