A WORKOUT TREND THAT’S HERE TO STAY THE POWER OF 12-3-30 Workout fads come and go, but the benefit of aerobic exercise has never gone away. Right now, a popular exercise trend called the 12-3-30 Workout is circulating the internet. The thing is, this fad actually works, and fitness professionals are giving this exercise the green light.
Benefits of the 12-3-30 Exercise One reason this workout is gaining so much traction on the internet is because of the benefits. The first benefit users love is that this exercise gives you almost all of the same aerobic perks as running without the high impact on joints (thanks to that 12% incline!). The second benefit the 12-3-30 Workout offers is endurance. Walking uphill instead of on a flat terrain causes us to activate more muscles, while 30 minutes of exercise forces us to remain at a high-intensity level for longer. This ultimately forces our bodies to acclimate to rigorous movement, which improves our health. Like any other workout, the 12-3-30 is also great for weight loss, regulating blood sugar, and improving cardiovascular health. But it’s also important to remember that no one exercise should be your only source of movement. Consider adding the 12-3-30 exercise to your weekly rotation, or use it to follow your weight training or other strength exercises for the best results.
So, what is it, and why is it so good for you?
12-3-30 Explained The 12-3-30 Workout is pretty simple once you understand what the numbers stand for! Each number in the name correlates to a part of the exercise performed on a treadmill. Twelve percent is the incline you set the treadmill to, 3 mph is the speed at which you walk, and 30 minutes is the amount of time you walk. That’s it! These three numbers create the ideal circumstances in which your body has the resistance to utilize its muscles while also moving fast enough to increase heart rate and reap aerobic benefits. And 30 minutes a day, five days a week, is the ideal exercise to ensure your heart, body, and mind stay healthy.

Regular Floss vs. Floss Picks
WHICH IS MORE EFFECTIVE?
Regular Floss vs. Floss Picks Of course, using floss picks to clean between your teeth and all of the surfaces that brushing alone does not reach is better than not flossing at all, but floss pickers do not bend and stretch in various angles to clean your teeth and gums properly. While floss picks remove some plaque and debris, they also can leave a lot behind. Another concern with floss picks is that they are only made up of a short piece of floss. This means that while it collects bacteria, plaque, and other particles, it can only pick up so much, and you may just spread the bacteria around your mouth. Because floss picks only contain about an inch of floss, it quickly shreds and hangs onto even more harmful bacteria after a short period of use, which may do more harm than good in the long run. Ultimately, in a pinch, floss picks are an excellent way to remove a piece of broccoli or popcorn kernel that is wedged between your teeth, but for a thorough cleaning, traditional floss is a better option to ensure that you get all the nooks and crannies in your mouth!
Throughout your life, your parents, dentists, teachers, and even strangers have likely reminded you of the importance of flossing your teeth. In fact, flossing plays a crucial role in the health of your mouth — it removes leftover food particles and plaque from the areas that toothbrushes miss and helps prevent cavities and gum disease. There are many different types of floss, including the most commonly used spools of floss and floss picks. Between those two, what are the differences, and which is more effective? Regular Floss Pull about 18 inches of regular floss from the spool and wrap it around your fingers. From there, you should gently slide the floss between your teeth in a C shape. Make sure to get under the gum line to remove food debris and bacteria. Floss Picks Alternatively, floss picks hold a much shorter piece of floss on a D-shaped bow while you slide it up and down along each tooth to remove plaque and food that becomes wedged in your teeth.
