1 00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:04,960 Speaker 1: Welcome back to Bounce Forward with me, Tip Haul, I'd 2 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,760 Speaker 1: like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land in 3 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:11,039 Speaker 1: which I'm recording this podcast, the Werendr people of the 4 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:14,840 Speaker 1: Cooler Nation. I pay my respects to elders past and present. 5 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,120 Speaker 1: Tanya reached out with a really good question because I'm 6 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,759 Speaker 1: seeing this everywhere. To Tanya, Tiff, I'm seeing the treadmill 7 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 1: trend twelve three thirty everywhere, but it sounds really confusing 8 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:32,160 Speaker 1: to me. What actually is it? It's all over socials 9 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,839 Speaker 1: as a means to shred. What are the benefits? Okay, 10 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 1: so the viral trend twelve three point thirty workout is 11 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: setting up your treadmill at an incline of twelve and 12 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 1: a speed of three miles per hour, which is roughly 13 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 1: about five kilometers per hour, and then walking for thirty minutes, 14 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 1: all right now. The concept originated from a social media influencer, 15 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 1: Lauren Giraldo. She shared it on YouTube in twenty nineteen 16 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 1: and TikTok in November in twenty twenty, and the video 17 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 1: just went viral. It's wrapped up over twelve million views 18 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 1: and now everyone's doing the twelve three thirty treadmill workout. 19 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: It's gained a lot of popularity as being very effective, 20 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:16,040 Speaker 1: but is it effective. Let's break it down, Okay, so 21 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,279 Speaker 1: I really wanted to look at. 22 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,399 Speaker 2: This first up. 23 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 1: You've got to consider your cardio the cardiovascular fitness there, 24 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,119 Speaker 1: and yes, there's some good endurance in this. Walking at 25 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:33,399 Speaker 1: a significant incline for thirty minutes is good cardio and 26 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: it's going to build endurance and strength for the heart. 27 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: So it's very good in that respect, and it's going 28 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: to help your heart health a lot. You're going to 29 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 1: reduce your blood pressure, improve your heart health and low 30 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: cholesterol levels. So I give it a tick for being 31 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: good cardio. Now it's also gone viral because people think 32 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: it's a way to shred, and so let's look at 33 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,279 Speaker 1: weight loss and weight management here. So caloric burn doesn't 34 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: burn calories absolutely, like the combination of an incline and 35 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 1: a consistent pace does increase the intensity of the walking 36 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: and that leads to a high calorie burn compared to 37 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 1: walking on a flat surface. So definitely good for weight 38 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: loss or weight management. And consistent cardio exercise, especially moderate 39 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: to intensity like this does make it very accessible for people, 40 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: so anyone can do it, which is great and it's 41 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: quite easy to do thirty minutes bit of an incline. 42 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: It's quite a good pace. You can bring that pace 43 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: up if you get really confident and you are going 44 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: to burn some fat. The optimal goal for physical activity 45 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: is one hundred and fifty minutes of moderate intensity activity 46 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:52,079 Speaker 1: or seventy five minutes of vigorous intensity alongside two strength 47 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: activities per week, according to the Centers of Disease Control 48 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: and Prevention in the US. Okay, so maintaining sixty to 49 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: seventy percent of your maximum heart rate is where you 50 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,519 Speaker 1: should be for the fat burning zone. 51 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 2: And this would absolutely do that. 52 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: To estimate your highest heart rate again, you subtract your 53 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: age from two hundred and twenty to determine the number 54 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,359 Speaker 1: of maximum beats per minute. Okay, so you can work 55 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: out sixty to seventy percent there and then you can 56 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: see if you are in the fat burning zone. Are 57 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 1: they're fat burning zones? That's another podcast. I guess we 58 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: could go into that. Really, I do think that this 59 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: is going to burn fat, and it's really great because 60 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: it's not going to burn muscle. It's not like a 61 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: long cardio session that's going to eat away at your 62 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: lean muscle stores and they're your fat factories, so you 63 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: want to really maintain your lean muscle mass. And the 64 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: walking is still a good cardio that doesn't eat at 65 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: that muscle mass, so it's really really good actually for 66 00:03:54,160 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: calorie burn. Then you've got the muscle toning a spect 67 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: which is targeting the lower muscle, lower body muscles, which 68 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: is really great. Your carves, your handstrings, your gloats, your quads, 69 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: they're really working a lot harder than walking. 70 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 2: Over a flat surface. 71 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 1: So it does it lead to more muscle tone and 72 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: strength absolutely, And your muscles have two types of fibers. 73 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: You've got your slow twitch and fast twitch, and whilst 74 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: fast twitched muscle fibers fatigue quite easily, think high intensity 75 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: hit short duration bursts of exercise. Your slow twitch muscle 76 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: fibers contribute to endurance, so long duration, low intensity as 77 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: they don't fatigue as quickly. And the twelve to three 78 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 1: point thirty workout focuses on the slow twitch which can 79 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: be activated through you know this kind of sustained aerobic 80 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: exercise and adding an incline workout really helps build that muscle, 81 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 1: which is great. We're always all about building lean muscle mass. 82 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: And the other thing it does which is really great 83 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 1: is the incline puts the posterior chain into action, so 84 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 1: you glute your hamstring, your low back, your calf muscles. 85 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,239 Speaker 1: We don't often work the posterior chain. We're all about 86 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 1: the front of the body. But your back body is 87 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,679 Speaker 1: really really important to improve your low body strength and 88 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:20,479 Speaker 1: your overall balance and calibration so really important. Then you've 89 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 1: got core engagement in this because of the incline, so 90 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: your core muscles are working your strength and stability, which 91 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 1: is really great. I love walking for stress relief and 92 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: mental health benefits and how achievable it is. It's like 93 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: if you set yourself up for failure by going I'm 94 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: going to go for a ten k run, and then 95 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: you don't do it, and then you beat yourself up 96 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,280 Speaker 1: and then you feel guilty. Then you do nothing and 97 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: you have the all or nothing attitude. I love a 98 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,720 Speaker 1: walk because anyone can go walking. You just go walk 99 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: on an incline on the traademill, give yourself thirty minutes 100 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: and it's done. You have that exercise satisfaction, a sense 101 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: of accomplishment, and your mood is boosted. Through the lease 102 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 1: of endorphins, so it's really a win win, and it's 103 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: very convenient, and it's something that you can stick to, 104 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 1: so you've got consistency of routine and the straightforward nature 105 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: of the twelve three point thirty workout makes it easy 106 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: to stick to and it's a key factor in long 107 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,599 Speaker 1: term health and fitness. Isn't it just being able to 108 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: stick to something? So I think that the twelve three 109 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: thirty workout is a great workout. It's got a lot 110 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,280 Speaker 1: of benefits, especially if you're going from being quite sedentary 111 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 1: and wanting to bring the intensity up a little bit. 112 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,039 Speaker 1: While adding that incline is fantastic. It's something that you 113 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: can play with as well. You don't have to go 114 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: straight to the twelve incline. You could go ten three 115 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: thirty and work your way up. That would be a 116 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: really great way. And for those with joint issues and injuries, 117 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:55,679 Speaker 1: the incline can actually really help with not having that pain, 118 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: and it can really help with injuries and build that 119 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: posterior change ng The other thing that's gained a lot 120 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: of popularity, especially from the Kardashians and I see them 121 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,039 Speaker 1: on there all the time is a stair Master walking 122 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: stairs is fantastic, you know, but it does get a 123 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 1: little bit. 124 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 2: Boring, and I like to have the end in sight. 125 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 2: Thirty minutes. 126 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: Okay, I can do that on a cardio machine or 127 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: a piece of equipment, but just treading and you just 128 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: don't know when you're going to get off, It's just 129 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: like it's a little bit boring. It's still working the 130 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: same muscles. You're activating the glutes, of hamstrikings of calves, 131 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: the posterior chain of the body, really working those muscles 132 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: and getting very very strong, and it's great for the glutes. 133 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: But I would say they're very similar in workouts. It's 134 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: just about personal preference. What do you prefer. Bringing a 135 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: bit of resistance into the stair master fantastic as well. Yeah, 136 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: I think it comes down to personal preference because they 137 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: are working very similar muscle groups. 138 00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 2: So if you're looking. 139 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 1: At the twelve three point thirty workout, is it a 140 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: complete workout? Is that something you go to the gym 141 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: You got the best bang for your buck? 142 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 2: I think so. 143 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: I think it's a great cardio option if you're still 144 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: getting your strength training in and you want to add 145 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: some cardio into your week. This is a great standalone 146 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: cardio workout. Thirty minutes of this fantastic. You could add 147 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 1: in a little bit of glute activation before you do it, 148 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 1: So put the band around your knees, do your crab walks, 149 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: do some clams, do some fire hydrants. That is going 150 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 1: to activate the glutes and they're going to be primed 151 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 1: and ready for you know, doing the incline work That 152 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: would be amazing. Also, I was just thinking, if you 153 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,079 Speaker 1: have bad knees, you can still do this workout. You 154 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 1: just got to work walk backwards on the treadmill. Okay, 155 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: So walking forwards up in incline is going to hurt 156 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: your knees, but if you walk backwards, it's not going 157 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: to hurt your knees at all, and it's only going 158 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:59,559 Speaker 1: to strengthen the ptel ligament and make your knees really 159 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: bullet p So I do backwards incline walking often to 160 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:08,319 Speaker 1: strengthen my knees and my muscles. So that's another tip. 161 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,439 Speaker 1: You don't have to be doing this forwards. You can 162 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 1: do it backwards. Just remember, after you've done any kind 163 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 1: of workout, you want to cool down, and that doesn't 164 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: mean you quickly grab your keys grab your phone, grab 165 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: your bag, leave the gym and go home and then 166 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 1: do some stretching or whatever it needs to be done 167 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: quickly after your workout, especially if it's cardio. You want 168 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 1: to bring your heart rate back down. You want to 169 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: do that whilst you're stretching and calming your nervous system 170 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 1: back down to homeostasis. You don't want to go from 171 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:48,439 Speaker 1: a workout into rushing because that keeps the cortersole levels 172 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: up right and you're still in that fight or flight mode. 173 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: You want to bring it back down to safety where 174 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: it's rest and digest mode. You know, you give your 175 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: body a minute, and that is the gentle static stretches 176 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 1: that you can do. The beautiful stretches. You might be 177 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: in a nice glute stretch like a pigeon pose, or 178 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 1: you might do a beautiful child stretch child's pose that's 179 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: really nice on the lower back and it gets into 180 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: the glutes, and or you might go for something like 181 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 1: a thoracic stretch with the upper back where you just 182 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: want to really get the whole body into it, you know, 183 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: And these cool down movements are really important because of 184 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 1: the nervous system. It's a nervous system that has to 185 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,959 Speaker 1: come first. And you don't want to go from zero 186 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: to hero and not warm up. You want to warm 187 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: up and prime the body with some dynamic stretching and 188 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 1: mobility work. Then you go and some activations that mimic 189 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 1: the movement patterns that you're about to do in your workout, 190 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: and then you do the workout, and then you need 191 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,680 Speaker 1: to cool down and bring that nervous system back down, 192 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: bring the heart rate down so you're not getting dizzy 193 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: and you're not shocking the body anymore, and the body knows, oh, 194 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: this is safety. There's a time to go hard and 195 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 1: there's a time to be safe and relaxed. And I 196 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,319 Speaker 1: love a bit of box breathing in a nice stretching position. Today, 197 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: I you know, I did an upper body workout and 198 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 1: then I finished with some cat cow stretches, some child's pose, 199 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 1: and I was just concentrating on my breath four beats in, 200 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 1: four beats, hold four beats out. 201 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:26,479 Speaker 2: Bit of box. 202 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:31,439 Speaker 1: Breathing and then I can easily have my protein powder 203 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: or you know, my supplements straight after the gym, and 204 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 1: I know they're digesting and my body is accepting at all. 205 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: You know, you don't you don't ever want to be 206 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 1: in a rush. Rushing women's syndrome, that's an actual thing, 207 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 1: and there's I think doctor Libby Weaver wrote a book 208 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: about rushing women's syndrome, and it's just about keeping those 209 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 1: cortisol levels high and stress and the body stress out. 210 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,679 Speaker 1: Even if you don't feel like you're in psychological stress, 211 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 1: your body can be in physical stress. Hasn't calmed down 212 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: and had a moment straight after the workout, so always 213 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 1: do your cool down.
