Samantha Cubbins, strength and conditioning coach and lifting club manager at Gymshark<\/a>, has adapted the popular 12-3-30 walking workout<\/a> that went viral across social media a few years ago, and continues to be popular.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When my colleague tried incline walking <\/a>she was pleasantly surprised by the strengthening effect it had on her legs, although a walking coach I spoke to said she doesn\u2019t recommend the workout for beginners<\/a>.<\/p>\n You may like<\/p>\n Cubbins\u2019 approach, however, makes the workout more accessible. She recommends the same format\u201412% incline at a pace of 3mph\u2014but for half the time.<\/p>\n While the speed and incline remain the same, working for 15 minutes instead of 30 will put less pressure on your joints and make the workout more manageable.<\/p>\n Make sure to warm up beforehand to prepare muscles and joints\u2014especially your calves and hamstrings\u2014for the session ahead.
