I Did A Revised Version of Lauren Giraldo’s 12-3-30 Treadmill Workout

I did a combination of Lauren Giraldo’s treadmill workout for a week along with 16:8 fasting. First off, 12 stands for the incline, 3 is the speed and 30 is for thirty minutes. As for 16:8 fasting, I fasted (for the most part) 16 hours and ate as I normally would for the remaining 8 hours and I found myself eating a bit less than I otherwise would have. The revision that I personally did with the treadmill workout myself was changing the speed 2.3mph. I found 3mph WITH the incline of 12 to be too hard for me. I did, however, do a 2 minute spurt every 5–10 minutes of a speed of 3mph before decreasing back down to my 2.3mph comfort speed and this really got me sweating! And by comfort speed I mean a speed that was still a workout for me, but one I could tolerate without killing myself in the first 2 minutes. I am not obese, but I am overweight and I am not someone who actively works out, although I do plan to continue this regimen for a complete 30 days.

I bought a treadmill specifically for this challenge…. crazy, I know. BUT, I knew I was going to stick with it and so it would be money well spent. I plan on continuing my weight loss journey apart from Giraldo’s workout, but I had seen so many good reviews on this treadmill workout so I decided to give it a try for 7 days. Plus, it is too cold outside to go for a walk or jog, especially when I have three small kids. See? I didn’t just want the treadmill…… I needed the treadmill…..

I did the workout for ALL 7 days, though I will admit there was one morning I did…
