I Tried Lauren Giraldo’s 12–3–30 Workout

For those that are unfamiliar Lauren Giraldo is a 23-year-old social media personality and actress in the United States. She makes mostly lifestyle content for Youtube and Tiktok.

In the viral Tiktok that can be found here, Giraldo explains that roughly five days a week she walks for 30 minutes on the treadmill, at a speed of 3 mph and an incline of 12. Essentially this equates to a 30-minute walk up a steep hill. This video went on to gain popularity on Tiktok…
