WEBVTT - Explaining the 12, 3, 30 Treadmill Trend 

0:00:01.600 --> 0:00:04.960
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back to Bounce Forward with me, Tip Haul, I'd

0:00:05.000 --> 0:00:07.760
<v Speaker 1>like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land in

0:00:07.800 --> 0:00:11.039
<v Speaker 1>which I'm recording this podcast, the Werendr people of the

0:00:11.119 --> 0:00:14.840
<v Speaker 1>Cooler Nation. I pay my respects to elders past and present.

0:00:17.760 --> 0:00:20.120
<v Speaker 1>Tanya reached out with a really good question because I'm

0:00:20.120 --> 0:00:23.759
<v Speaker 1>seeing this everywhere. To Tanya, Tiff, I'm seeing the treadmill

0:00:23.880 --> 0:00:28.560
<v Speaker 1>trend twelve three thirty everywhere, but it sounds really confusing

0:00:28.640 --> 0:00:32.160
<v Speaker 1>to me. What actually is it? It's all over socials

0:00:32.159 --> 0:00:35.839
<v Speaker 1>as a means to shred. What are the benefits? Okay,

0:00:36.040 --> 0:00:39.120
<v Speaker 1>so the viral trend twelve three point thirty workout is

0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:42.400
<v Speaker 1>setting up your treadmill at an incline of twelve and

0:00:42.479 --> 0:00:45.000
<v Speaker 1>a speed of three miles per hour, which is roughly

0:00:45.000 --> 0:00:49.040
<v Speaker 1>about five kilometers per hour, and then walking for thirty minutes,

0:00:49.400 --> 0:00:53.720
<v Speaker 1>all right now. The concept originated from a social media influencer,

0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:58.040
<v Speaker 1>Lauren Giraldo. She shared it on YouTube in twenty nineteen

0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:00.760
<v Speaker 1>and TikTok in November in twenty twenty, and the video

0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:04.040
<v Speaker 1>just went viral. It's wrapped up over twelve million views

0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:08.080
<v Speaker 1>and now everyone's doing the twelve three thirty treadmill workout.

0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:11.640
<v Speaker 1>It's gained a lot of popularity as being very effective,

0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:16.040
<v Speaker 1>but is it effective. Let's break it down, Okay, so

0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:18.279
<v Speaker 1>I really wanted to look at.

0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:20.399
<v Speaker 2>This first up.

0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:25.520
<v Speaker 1>You've got to consider your cardio the cardiovascular fitness there,

0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:29.119
<v Speaker 1>and yes, there's some good endurance in this. Walking at

0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:33.399
<v Speaker 1>a significant incline for thirty minutes is good cardio and

0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:36.800
<v Speaker 1>it's going to build endurance and strength for the heart.

0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:39.880
<v Speaker 1>So it's very good in that respect, and it's going

0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:42.360
<v Speaker 1>to help your heart health a lot. You're going to

0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:45.160
<v Speaker 1>reduce your blood pressure, improve your heart health and low

0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:48.960
<v Speaker 1>cholesterol levels. So I give it a tick for being

0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:55.080
<v Speaker 1>good cardio. Now it's also gone viral because people think

0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:57.920
<v Speaker 1>it's a way to shred, and so let's look at

0:01:57.920 --> 0:02:01.279
<v Speaker 1>weight loss and weight management here. So caloric burn doesn't

0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:05.880
<v Speaker 1>burn calories absolutely, like the combination of an incline and

0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:10.240
<v Speaker 1>a consistent pace does increase the intensity of the walking

0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:13.760
<v Speaker 1>and that leads to a high calorie burn compared to

0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:16.680
<v Speaker 1>walking on a flat surface. So definitely good for weight

0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:21.840
<v Speaker 1>loss or weight management. And consistent cardio exercise, especially moderate

0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:27.600
<v Speaker 1>to intensity like this does make it very accessible for people,

0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:31.760
<v Speaker 1>so anyone can do it, which is great and it's

0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:34.840
<v Speaker 1>quite easy to do thirty minutes bit of an incline.

0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:37.440
<v Speaker 1>It's quite a good pace. You can bring that pace

0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:40.280
<v Speaker 1>up if you get really confident and you are going

0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:44.200
<v Speaker 1>to burn some fat. The optimal goal for physical activity

0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:47.760
<v Speaker 1>is one hundred and fifty minutes of moderate intensity activity

0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:52.079
<v Speaker 1>or seventy five minutes of vigorous intensity alongside two strength

0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:55.720
<v Speaker 1>activities per week, according to the Centers of Disease Control

0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:59.160
<v Speaker 1>and Prevention in the US. Okay, so maintaining sixty to

0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:02.480
<v Speaker 1>seventy percent of your maximum heart rate is where you

0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:04.519
<v Speaker 1>should be for the fat burning zone.

0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:06.680
<v Speaker 2>And this would absolutely do that.

0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:10.440
<v Speaker 1>To estimate your highest heart rate again, you subtract your

0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:13.480
<v Speaker 1>age from two hundred and twenty to determine the number

0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:16.359
<v Speaker 1>of maximum beats per minute. Okay, so you can work

0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:19.040
<v Speaker 1>out sixty to seventy percent there and then you can

0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:22.720
<v Speaker 1>see if you are in the fat burning zone. Are

0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:27.400
<v Speaker 1>they're fat burning zones? That's another podcast. I guess we

0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:30.120
<v Speaker 1>could go into that. Really, I do think that this

0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:35.040
<v Speaker 1>is going to burn fat, and it's really great because

0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:37.400
<v Speaker 1>it's not going to burn muscle. It's not like a

0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:42.360
<v Speaker 1>long cardio session that's going to eat away at your

0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:45.640
<v Speaker 1>lean muscle stores and they're your fat factories, so you

0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:48.440
<v Speaker 1>want to really maintain your lean muscle mass. And the

0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:50.880
<v Speaker 1>walking is still a good cardio that doesn't eat at

0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:53.720
<v Speaker 1>that muscle mass, so it's really really good actually for

0:03:54.160 --> 0:04:00.520
<v Speaker 1>calorie burn. Then you've got the muscle toning a spect

0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:04.880
<v Speaker 1>which is targeting the lower muscle, lower body muscles, which

0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:08.440
<v Speaker 1>is really great. Your carves, your handstrings, your gloats, your quads,

0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:11.760
<v Speaker 1>they're really working a lot harder than walking.

0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:13.080
<v Speaker 2>Over a flat surface.

0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:17.160
<v Speaker 1>So it does it lead to more muscle tone and

0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:21.880
<v Speaker 1>strength absolutely, And your muscles have two types of fibers.

0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:26.200
<v Speaker 1>You've got your slow twitch and fast twitch, and whilst

0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:30.240
<v Speaker 1>fast twitched muscle fibers fatigue quite easily, think high intensity

0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:34.760
<v Speaker 1>hit short duration bursts of exercise. Your slow twitch muscle

0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:39.400
<v Speaker 1>fibers contribute to endurance, so long duration, low intensity as

0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:41.400
<v Speaker 1>they don't fatigue as quickly. And the twelve to three

0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:44.600
<v Speaker 1>point thirty workout focuses on the slow twitch which can

0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:47.880
<v Speaker 1>be activated through you know this kind of sustained aerobic

0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:53.320
<v Speaker 1>exercise and adding an incline workout really helps build that muscle,

0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:57.040
<v Speaker 1>which is great. We're always all about building lean muscle mass.

0:04:57.440 --> 0:05:00.000
<v Speaker 1>And the other thing it does which is really great

0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:03.920
<v Speaker 1>is the incline puts the posterior chain into action, so

0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:06.360
<v Speaker 1>you glute your hamstring, your low back, your calf muscles.

0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:09.239
<v Speaker 1>We don't often work the posterior chain. We're all about

0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:12.120
<v Speaker 1>the front of the body. But your back body is

0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:15.679
<v Speaker 1>really really important to improve your low body strength and

0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:20.479
<v Speaker 1>your overall balance and calibration so really important. Then you've

0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:24.040
<v Speaker 1>got core engagement in this because of the incline, so

0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:27.240
<v Speaker 1>your core muscles are working your strength and stability, which

0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:31.279
<v Speaker 1>is really great. I love walking for stress relief and

0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:34.960
<v Speaker 1>mental health benefits and how achievable it is. It's like

0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:37.760
<v Speaker 1>if you set yourself up for failure by going I'm

0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:40.080
<v Speaker 1>going to go for a ten k run, and then

0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:42.120
<v Speaker 1>you don't do it, and then you beat yourself up

0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:44.280
<v Speaker 1>and then you feel guilty. Then you do nothing and

0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:46.800
<v Speaker 1>you have the all or nothing attitude. I love a

0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:50.720
<v Speaker 1>walk because anyone can go walking. You just go walk

0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:53.400
<v Speaker 1>on an incline on the traademill, give yourself thirty minutes

0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:57.400
<v Speaker 1>and it's done. You have that exercise satisfaction, a sense

0:05:57.400 --> 0:06:00.320
<v Speaker 1>of accomplishment, and your mood is boosted. Through the lease

0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:03.839
<v Speaker 1>of endorphins, so it's really a win win, and it's

0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:06.680
<v Speaker 1>very convenient, and it's something that you can stick to,

0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:11.279
<v Speaker 1>so you've got consistency of routine and the straightforward nature

0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:13.880
<v Speaker 1>of the twelve three point thirty workout makes it easy

0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:16.520
<v Speaker 1>to stick to and it's a key factor in long

0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:19.599
<v Speaker 1>term health and fitness. Isn't it just being able to

0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:24.320
<v Speaker 1>stick to something? So I think that the twelve three

0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:27.760
<v Speaker 1>thirty workout is a great workout. It's got a lot

0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:31.280
<v Speaker 1>of benefits, especially if you're going from being quite sedentary

0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:34.279
<v Speaker 1>and wanting to bring the intensity up a little bit.

0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:37.039
<v Speaker 1>While adding that incline is fantastic. It's something that you

0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:39.240
<v Speaker 1>can play with as well. You don't have to go

0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:42.520
<v Speaker 1>straight to the twelve incline. You could go ten three

0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:45.560
<v Speaker 1>thirty and work your way up. That would be a

0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:50.240
<v Speaker 1>really great way. And for those with joint issues and injuries,

0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:55.679
<v Speaker 1>the incline can actually really help with not having that pain,

0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:58.800
<v Speaker 1>and it can really help with injuries and build that

0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:02.000
<v Speaker 1>posterior change ng The other thing that's gained a lot

0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:05.000
<v Speaker 1>of popularity, especially from the Kardashians and I see them

0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:08.039
<v Speaker 1>on there all the time is a stair Master walking

0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:12.880
<v Speaker 1>stairs is fantastic, you know, but it does get a

0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:13.440
<v Speaker 1>little bit.

0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:18.560
<v Speaker 2>Boring, and I like to have the end in sight.

0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:19.680
<v Speaker 2>Thirty minutes.

0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:22.720
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I can do that on a cardio machine or

0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:26.080
<v Speaker 1>a piece of equipment, but just treading and you just

0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:27.680
<v Speaker 1>don't know when you're going to get off, It's just

0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:30.120
<v Speaker 1>like it's a little bit boring. It's still working the

0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:33.400
<v Speaker 1>same muscles. You're activating the glutes, of hamstrikings of calves,

0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:37.080
<v Speaker 1>the posterior chain of the body, really working those muscles

0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:40.320
<v Speaker 1>and getting very very strong, and it's great for the glutes.

0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:43.800
<v Speaker 1>But I would say they're very similar in workouts. It's

0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:48.920
<v Speaker 1>just about personal preference. What do you prefer. Bringing a

0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:52.600
<v Speaker 1>bit of resistance into the stair master fantastic as well. Yeah,

0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:54.720
<v Speaker 1>I think it comes down to personal preference because they

0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:56.960
<v Speaker 1>are working very similar muscle groups.

0:07:57.520 --> 0:07:58.760
<v Speaker 2>So if you're looking.

0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:01.240
<v Speaker 1>At the twelve three point thirty workout, is it a

0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:03.680
<v Speaker 1>complete workout? Is that something you go to the gym

0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:05.520
<v Speaker 1>You got the best bang for your buck?

0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:06.520
<v Speaker 2>I think so.

0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:09.440
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a great cardio option if you're still

0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:11.960
<v Speaker 1>getting your strength training in and you want to add

0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:15.320
<v Speaker 1>some cardio into your week. This is a great standalone

0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:19.080
<v Speaker 1>cardio workout. Thirty minutes of this fantastic. You could add

0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:22.000
<v Speaker 1>in a little bit of glute activation before you do it,

0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:25.800
<v Speaker 1>So put the band around your knees, do your crab walks,

0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:29.360
<v Speaker 1>do some clams, do some fire hydrants. That is going

0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:32.280
<v Speaker 1>to activate the glutes and they're going to be primed

0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:35.960
<v Speaker 1>and ready for you know, doing the incline work That

0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:38.760
<v Speaker 1>would be amazing. Also, I was just thinking, if you

0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:42.079
<v Speaker 1>have bad knees, you can still do this workout. You

0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:45.680
<v Speaker 1>just got to work walk backwards on the treadmill. Okay,

0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:49.480
<v Speaker 1>So walking forwards up in incline is going to hurt

0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:53.160
<v Speaker 1>your knees, but if you walk backwards, it's not going

0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:55.280
<v Speaker 1>to hurt your knees at all, and it's only going

0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:59.559
<v Speaker 1>to strengthen the ptel ligament and make your knees really

0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:04.240
<v Speaker 1>bullet p So I do backwards incline walking often to

0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:08.319
<v Speaker 1>strengthen my knees and my muscles. So that's another tip.

0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:10.439
<v Speaker 1>You don't have to be doing this forwards. You can

0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:14.080
<v Speaker 1>do it backwards. Just remember, after you've done any kind

0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:16.840
<v Speaker 1>of workout, you want to cool down, and that doesn't

0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:20.640
<v Speaker 1>mean you quickly grab your keys grab your phone, grab

0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:24.120
<v Speaker 1>your bag, leave the gym and go home and then

0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:27.840
<v Speaker 1>do some stretching or whatever it needs to be done

0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:31.760
<v Speaker 1>quickly after your workout, especially if it's cardio. You want

0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:34.640
<v Speaker 1>to bring your heart rate back down. You want to

0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:38.880
<v Speaker 1>do that whilst you're stretching and calming your nervous system

0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:43.720
<v Speaker 1>back down to homeostasis. You don't want to go from

0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:48.439
<v Speaker 1>a workout into rushing because that keeps the cortersole levels

0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:51.760
<v Speaker 1>up right and you're still in that fight or flight mode.

0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:54.360
<v Speaker 1>You want to bring it back down to safety where

0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:57.400
<v Speaker 1>it's rest and digest mode. You know, you give your

0:09:57.400 --> 0:10:01.120
<v Speaker 1>body a minute, and that is the gentle static stretches

0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:03.720
<v Speaker 1>that you can do. The beautiful stretches. You might be

0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:06.640
<v Speaker 1>in a nice glute stretch like a pigeon pose, or

0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:11.320
<v Speaker 1>you might do a beautiful child stretch child's pose that's

0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:13.640
<v Speaker 1>really nice on the lower back and it gets into

0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:16.400
<v Speaker 1>the glutes, and or you might go for something like

0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:19.160
<v Speaker 1>a thoracic stretch with the upper back where you just

0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:22.360
<v Speaker 1>want to really get the whole body into it, you know,

0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:26.400
<v Speaker 1>And these cool down movements are really important because of

0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:30.200
<v Speaker 1>the nervous system. It's a nervous system that has to

0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:32.959
<v Speaker 1>come first. And you don't want to go from zero

0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:36.120
<v Speaker 1>to hero and not warm up. You want to warm

0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:40.760
<v Speaker 1>up and prime the body with some dynamic stretching and

0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:45.960
<v Speaker 1>mobility work. Then you go and some activations that mimic

0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:48.960
<v Speaker 1>the movement patterns that you're about to do in your workout,

0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:51.880
<v Speaker 1>and then you do the workout, and then you need

0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:54.680
<v Speaker 1>to cool down and bring that nervous system back down,

0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:57.360
<v Speaker 1>bring the heart rate down so you're not getting dizzy

0:10:57.640 --> 0:11:01.400
<v Speaker 1>and you're not shocking the body anymore, and the body knows, oh,

0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:04.280
<v Speaker 1>this is safety. There's a time to go hard and

0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:07.480
<v Speaker 1>there's a time to be safe and relaxed. And I

0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:11.319
<v Speaker 1>love a bit of box breathing in a nice stretching position. Today,

0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:15.040
<v Speaker 1>I you know, I did an upper body workout and

0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:19.320
<v Speaker 1>then I finished with some cat cow stretches, some child's pose,

0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:23.400
<v Speaker 1>and I was just concentrating on my breath four beats in,

0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:25.560
<v Speaker 1>four beats, hold four beats out.

0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:26.479
<v Speaker 2>Bit of box.

0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:31.439
<v Speaker 1>Breathing and then I can easily have my protein powder

0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:34.120
<v Speaker 1>or you know, my supplements straight after the gym, and

0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:37.440
<v Speaker 1>I know they're digesting and my body is accepting at all.

0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:39.520
<v Speaker 1>You know, you don't you don't ever want to be

0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:43.560
<v Speaker 1>in a rush. Rushing women's syndrome, that's an actual thing,

0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:46.400
<v Speaker 1>and there's I think doctor Libby Weaver wrote a book

0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:50.600
<v Speaker 1>about rushing women's syndrome, and it's just about keeping those

0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:54.760
<v Speaker 1>cortisol levels high and stress and the body stress out.

0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:57.679
<v Speaker 1>Even if you don't feel like you're in psychological stress,

0:11:58.040 --> 0:12:01.600
<v Speaker 1>your body can be in physical stress. Hasn't calmed down

0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:04.800
<v Speaker 1>and had a moment straight after the workout, so always

0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:08.320
<v Speaker 1>do your cool down. Thanks so much for listening to
