Whether you’re looking for a new salad recipe, genius hack, trendy dance, or new abs routine, TikTok has the answer with an endless stream of viral videos. One trendy workout continues to top the charts: the 12-3-30 workout.
The simple treadmill workout was originally created by social media star and actress Lauren Giraldo. She came up with the routine entirely by accident playing around with treadmill settings, but she loved it and so did everyone who saw it on TikTok. Her own 12-3-30 workout results, a 30-pound weight loss and extra gym motivation, were certainly impressive.

Others say the 30-minute workout is a great way to gain strength, boost cardio endurance, and build bone density.
