i have been doing different types of workouts just in case if your gym is still closed or you have
no idea what you want to do or you're having a hard time finding a workout that you know
works for you i'm literally testing out all the popular workouts that are going on right now
i did the chloe ting challenge i'll have that link down below and up above if you missed that one
this week we are trying my girl lauren geraldo's 12 3 30 workout so if you don't know who lauren
geraldo is i don't know where you've been you've been under a rock must-have she's
literally one of my favorite youtubers of life i just think she's so authentic so original but
first started off as a viner got really big on there and made her way over to youtube
and of course just with her authentic personality she blew up so she's actually been doing this 12
30 workout for a while now i've ever since i found her about a year and a half ago
but she recently posted it on tick tock and it blew the hell up everyone and their mom
is doing 12 3 30. every time i go to the gym there's girls on the treadmill doing 12 30.
it is just gone viral i used to do it when she first started doing it and shared it on her
channel and if i'm being honest i didn't see any results i didn't see anything drastic i didn't see
anything crazy i actually felt like it wasn't even doing anything for me so i quit doing it
i don't know if i just wasn't doing it right but when i tell you i tried it this week and i think
i cracked the code and i am shook by my results believe me so make sure you watch till the end yes
i'm so hungry you guys don't know who green chip is i don't know where you've been they are a usda
organic certified company that makes eating healthy or eating well a lot affordable and
easier for all different types of lifestyle they literally have vegan options vegetarian options
keto and paleo options so you literally can find what meal plan truly works for you which i love

actually love them even before they started working with me miraber would be on a health
journey and it just made those times when we were super super busy a lot easier to maintain
our health journey goals having a meal that's more convenient but we don't have to go to the store

i love when you guys show me that on instagram and i will have everything linked in the description
before we get into the workouts i'm going to show you guys my before if you guys don't know i see a
nutritionist on a weekly basis and i do weigh-ins with her so instead of i figured this time
me doing the measurements and weigh-ins i am going to have a professional actually do it so we track
not only the weight but also the inches on my arms my legs my stomach everything bust neck the whole
nine so i figured i'm getting that done every week i might as well show you guys that result
it's definitely more accurate than me doing it at home so basically i have this little app where i
can show you guys like my body before and all of my measurements so they have this machine that
captures your weight it spins you in a circle gets your measurements the whole thing when i started
this week i literally just had a cheat week and i went all out like above and beyond maybe i
shouldn't have gone that hard but i really did and it took me actually a minute to get myself back
into my normal eating habits so as you can tell in this picture i'm really puffy i'm really bloated
my body is just really really swollen and that's due to all the sodium sugar processed foods i ate
that's just the way my body reacts to it i get super super swollen i went in to do my weigh-in
and i thought i could fix it for throughout the week and whatever i ate that weekend i went in and
actually gained weight like even though i worked out all week and ate right all week it was just a
mess so i was like you know what this next week i gotta stick to it and i gotta get strict and that
is exactly what i did i'm actually happy though that i started off in that place with this workout
challenge to see if it really actually makes a change like everybody says it does everyone is
claiming that this workout you can lose pounds you can lose interest you can lose weight i'm gonna
work really really hard this week really give it all and see if this workout can change with
eating a clean diet so let's go over the results it's cool because i have like a little app that
tracks everything for me but you can literally see a whole diagram of my body my body composition my
body fat really range is about 30 6 in this my bust is 40.2 my waist is 35.2 my hips is 47.
my biceps is 13 my thighs is 25.6 and my calf is 16.3 when i went into the first weigh-in which
was on april 30th now i'm going to show you guys how the week went and all of my workouts let's go
oh my gosh you guys so i'm gonna be tracking everything by my apple watch so the endurance
how many calories i burned my speed where my heart rate was the whole time i like to calculate all of
that just because that tells me the facts that tells me is this workout legit is it actually
doing anything for my body and i compare it to like my really really intense workouts that i go
to the actual dream with the trainer so this is my stats for this so i actually did 33 minutes
my distance was 1.2 miles my average pace was 26 minutes active calories were 255. total calories
were 313. so i go off total calories because i don't wear this watch besides when i'm at the gym
so i burnt total of 313 calories my average heart rate was 163 and the range was between 128 and 177
so not bad it's crazy if i did this for an hour i would burn as many calories at the same pace as
i do in my cycling class only downhill i say is that it is extremely boring you're just kind of
sitting there looking around just because you're walking right you're like you're not doing much
but you're building your endurance because you're at a incline and you're having to push your body
through it so your body is going under stress so you will see an effect on your body anytime
you're doing a workout in your body you put your body under stress you will burn calories i was
sweating like i was barely drying up now i'm gonna go get in the shower but like i was sweating like
that was actually crazy i'm really impressed well let's just see how the rest of this week testing
the water she got my nurse test backwards i ain't even have a purpose i was so eager to
learn some things anxiety bring out the words to me society pay me his enemy my making it by that
remedy i'm occasional don't do it regularly back's under my eyes way down heavenly mother
okay so i just got home from my workout i just did day two of the lauren geraldo treadmill challenge
today was a lot easier i still was sweating pretty bad it wasn't like as tiring as the first day so i
do notice that it's getting a little easier today what for me went by quick like i feel
like i watched like three youtube videos and i was done but making sure i'm still holding in my core
standing up straight and making sure i'm not handling hanging onto the bars before you know
it like the workout's done i can see where it gets a little boring if you don't have anything
to entertain you you're just looking around for 30 minutes like but if you can like find something
to entertain you for 30 minutes like it goes by pretty quick and if you have a tight schedule and
you just need a quick workout this could be it this could be i'll tell you the end result and
we'll see by the end of the week i burned exactly 300 calories today so i was trying to move walk a
little bit faster to burn more calories today my average heart rate was at 70 174 which is pretty
good it took me 30 minutes to do average pace 25 minutes so i did speed it up just by a little bit
the most important thing while doing this workout is making sure you're holding your
core tight and standing up straight try to work on your core while doing this doing a little
two-in-one i'm liking it it's really easy it's probably one of the easiest workouts i've ever
done in my life don't get me wrong i do lose my breath and i do sweat but i'm just saying the fact
that it takes me 30 minutes to do i'm liking that i'm liking it okay lauren i see you welcome to day
three it is a day three and i am looking shiny as hell what is going on um today i wore this sweat
band around my waist to try to help i really want to focus on losing this pouch right here
and i know sweat bands can't promise you to lose weight but they can help reduce the bloating help
you sweat more in this area reduce the water retention that may be there so that's why i
like to use this also it snatches the waist it's kind of like a waist trainer a little bit but
not really it's really a sweatband so i'm already sweating so much in this so i'm gonna try this out
today and see if i like the difference of working out doing it with this and how much i really sweat
around my stomach area but enough procrastinating my mom's doing it already i got her doing 12 30.
oh good morning this is called busting crusty video i'm just gonna look busted the whole video
well while i'm working out because who's getting ready to go to the gym not me sometimes i do
sometimes i'll do my hair or whatever but i'm just gonna say this and i don't want to spoil
the video i am shook i don't know what this workout does for the body and it's so simple
but my body is obsessed with it i cannot wait to see the end result i'm actually getting more
and more excited because there's so much change happening i literally get it done and it's just so
quick it yeah i don't even understand so welcome to day four about to head down to the gym we're
gonna get a little morning sesh a little morning session in let's see what happens at the end of
the week but i'm just saying if you were looking for something to do you have a treadmill no
i'm excuses explosion
okay so i have just formed a new love for 12 30 over the last five days i'm not even kidding now
i understand the hype and i know why lauren does it so much so today i did a total of 30 minutes
of course i burned a total of 303 calories i had a heart rate of 160. it's not too bad i need to
go speed it up just a little bit i literally not kidding you guys let me show you guys
how my body's looking right now i'm not sucking in nothing like i'm not kidding
no sucking in nothing this is just how i am i'm not bloated my butt literally went from like down
here to up here it lifted my butt my butt muscles like are just holding my butt just right like
i already have a really plump butt it's just got a little lift it's like stronger because it was
down here and it was sagging a little bit but it got stronger and the cellulite i have really bad
cellulite right work right here but when i when i get fit and i work out that completely goes away
and it's slowly it's not all completely all the way but it slowly started going away
my arms are slimmer look at my like this part of my body is just slimmer like what and you guys i
am being brutally honest like if this did not work i would tell y'all like i don't care i don't care
i just how i am i have the receipts like this is actually crazy okay so now for the end results
earlier this morning i went to my nutritionist's office and i got my final weigh-in i cannot
believe my results i literally haven't felt this good this motivated like i was not expecting
this like let's just have the results speak for themselves when i tell you guys i went from 190
to 183 in one no not even one week five days i am not playing i lost seven pounds in a week i
am not over exaggerating i'm not lying i have a nutritionist to prove it i literally lost seven
pounds in a week my stomach is nowhere near as swollen as the first picture i'll pop them
up side by side even my thighs my arm even my breasts have gone down especially the stomach
and the thigh area you can see a really really big difference it's actually mind-blowing to see these
two pictures side to side everything went down by an inch so my waist is 34 my hips is 46 my biceps
is 12.9 my thighs is 24 and my calves is 15. i cannot believe it i wasn't expecting this result
at all now when you're doing 12 330 i think it's so important because i don't see this
explained much you need to make sure you're also doing it right when you're on the treadmill
you want to make sure you're supporting yourself the best way possible you want to make sure you
have the best posture you're standing up straight your core muscles need to be engaged the entire
time you're walking i know it's hard but you have to and as you're walking you need to make
sure that you're using your entire foot you're not walking on front of your feet or the back of your
feet you need to be making sure you're using your entire foot as you're walking now my suggestion
was yes you're walking at the the speed of three but try to speed that up just a little i try to
speed that up i didn't speed it up on the actual treadmill i just sped up my own personal pace
and didn't take my time so i can try to burn as many calories as possible and then i also i
used a sweat band three days out of the five days when i would wear my sweatband around my stomach
my core is engaged the entire time have my sweat bun on the swelling in my stomach the fat in my
stomach the the water that i was holding was able to be released throughout the week i lost weight
in that area which was what my goal was overall this workout can work for you it's not a waste
of time at all at the end of the day i want to be as honest as possible i love my girl lauren but if
this didn't work i would tell y'all like i'm like okay it didn't do anything i'm eating clean and it
didn't do anything i would straight up say it just because i don't want you guys to waste your time
and i want these videos to be actually valuable for you guys i'm a little pissed that i've been
spending all this money on cycling and at 45 and i have not seen a results like that also but there
i'm building muscle so i gotta know this is pure cardio it's absolutely crazy like i actually think
i'm going to stick with 12 330 for a little while i'm sure you hit a plateau with this
if you don't wow okay she really found the workout of the freaking sentry i ate clean this week and i
just want to be transparent with that 100 believe abs are made in the kitchen i can think you can
do all the workouts in the world but if you're going and eating whatever you want it can be
hard to get the results you want as quick as you want because i don't believe this workout can just
do it on its own and you go have 10 pizzas these are the key factors if you're going to try this
you need to be making sure you're getting eight hours of sleep my body is able to digest my food
the swelling goes down i see the biggest changes when i wake up in the morning and weigh myself
when i get my eight hours of sleep versus when i don't try to stick to the leaner foods i am i work
with a nutritionist that makes me a meal plan and i follow it on a weekly basis but even on on that
i would choose the fattiest foods i could have on that and i wasn't seeing that big of a difference
but the second i started eating more lean foods this week what i ate was chicken turkey fruit and
i would have a lot of salads i did have salmon and spinach one night so a lot of leaner meats
also cutting out any sugary drinks any sugary drinks even if you think they're sugar-free
cut it out try to stick to just drinking waters and teas or flavor your water with fruit
so i've now lost 14 pounds on my journey and i'm not finished there i am not finished there
i'm so excited let me know any workouts you would actually like me to try for you guys
and to give you the full rundown i love doing this i love changing up my work workouts weekly you
guys inspire me so much to keep going even when i don't want to and i want a big mac i think about
you guys but i love you guys so much and i will catch you in the next video make sure to check out
