You’ll come across countless grand plans to transform your 2020 fitness regime.
But after trialling this bad boy, I reckon you should chuck everything else in the bin.
I got the opportunity to try out 12RND Fitness for six weeks.
And holy sh-t, it was bloody fabulous.
WHAT IS IT?
The name 12RND comes from the idea of “12 rounds of boxing”.
Each round goes for 3 minutes and an entire workout has 12.
You get a 30-second rest between each one, and you’re all done and dusted in literally under 45 minutes.
According to science – this is the optimal duration for high-intensity training, maintaining the right balance between effort and results.
BEFORE
Going in, I wanted to become a fitter, better version of myself.
I knew it’d require effort and hard work. And I was ready.
I was someone that used to work out daily, six days a week.
Then tale as old of time, girl meets boy, girl gets a new job, girl eats so much UberEats and bids a fond farewell to lifting (unless it’s a burger).
So, you can understand that I was more than ready to step back into the ring.
WORKOUTS
My first day, I was gearing up to smash it out of the park.
But boy, did I get a reality check. IT. WAS. HARD.
The guys at 12RND Newtown are bloody legends – and are very patient.
You can go in at any fitness level, and they’ll alter the round so that it suits you.
Surprisingly, you only box for 4 or so rounds. The rest incorporates a mixture of weights and cardio.
AFTER
I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again – it was bloody hard.
But it was also AMAZING. One of the greatest finds of my life.
The 6 weeks was life-changing. Not only did my fitness level completely transform, I transformed.
Going in I could barely do push-ups (I had no upper body strength) and now I can do chin ups and box jumps!
I can’t rave about 12RND enough. It’s so incredible – I am now a member.
It is worth every penny!
