While some signs are quick to skip the viral workout challenges that pop up in their five-year plans, others feel the need to stop and take a closer look. The signs fit TikTok's popular routines that are sure to make them sweat, which is why 12-3-30 probably caught their attention immediately.
12-3-30 started trending on FitTok in 2021 and has since become the go-to workout for anyone eager to boost their cardio. It involves setting the treadmill at a dangerously steep angle, increasing the speed to 3 mph, and then walking uphill for 30 minutes. It's tough, but that's exactly why it appeals to zodiac signs who like a challenge.
According to spiritual counselor and astrologer Letao Wang, 12-3-30 is a heart-pounding routine that has special appeal for adventurous, strong-willed and zodiac signs who like to push their limits.
Most recently, when Kourtney Kardashian Barker shared her 12-3-30 postpartum workout on Instagram, and Hilary Duff did so in an interview with Women's Health When mentioned, this viral practice is making headlines again. Now that it's back in the zeitgeist, here are the three zodiac signs most likely to give it a try.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Whether it's a new aesthetic, fun recipes or viral workouts, you can always count on Aries to jump on the bandwagon. This fire sign was one of the first signs to try out 12-3-30 at the time, and they're making it official again thanks to Kourtney Kardashian Barker — who also happens to be an Aries.
As a sign ruled by Mars, the warrior planet, Aries are naturally drawn to tough challenges and sweaty workouts, so they'll always push themselves. "They are notorious for their bold spirit and can-do attitude," Wang said. "If there's a mountain, they climb it; if there's a challenge, they rise to it."
They're also always looking for ways to blow off steam, and 12-3-30 is the perfect choice. Aries needs a quick treadmill workout to relieve the stress of the day.
Scorpio (October 23rd - November 21st)
As a sign ruled by Pluto, the planet of change, Scorpios like to challenge themselves and try hard things. Since 12-3-30 is notoriously difficult, it makes sense that they would find it interesting.
“The 12-3-30 training is really gym heaven for them,” Wang said. "It's like a treadmill-themed episode of Survivor , perfect for Scorpio's love of testing their mettle."
This is also an ideal workout for water signs who like to work out on the DL. Rather than attending busy group fitness classes—where they’re bound to experience a period of fitness anxiety—they prefer to complete their entire routine alone with headphones on.
Capricorn (December 22-January 19)
It's no surprise that Lauren Giraldo, the creator of 12-3-30, is a Capricorn. This earth sign is known for their strong work ethic and "I'll sleep when I'm dead" lifestyle, so they're always on the lookout for the next tough challenge, Wang said.
“The 12-3-30 workout promises sweat, grit, and the sweet taste of achievement, calling to them like a siren’s song,” he says. He points out that climbing the 12 percent slope is a lot like climbing the corporate ladder, so it makes career-oriented Capricorns feel right at home.
It usually only takes one session for this sign to realize that 12-3-30 is a perfect fit for their personality, and then they're off to the races. They might even end up taking it a step further, perhaps adding a weighted vest like Hilary Duff did.
