    Hi Teresa,
    Unfortunately I have no idea what happened to the video and why it was so shakey :/

    Hey there!
    NO worries! I absolutely DO NOT recommend doing two weight training workouts in one day. If you can do that you are not working hard enough.

    Just hop back on and get as much as you can done this week. Start with day 1 🙂

    There could be many reasons-
    1- You are not doing enough lateral movements
    2- You are not going low enough
    3- Your form is not correct

    Using the hip circle, doing more lateral movements (lateral lunges, clamshells, side steps with the band etc) and making sure you are going low enough make a huge difference in glute strength.
    Even if you can’t move your legs really far apart with the hip circle, just pressing against the band will activate your glutes more.

    You are right, the shrimp does not contain enough fat to make it an even swap for the salmon.
    You would have to use MY Fitness Pal to figure out what else you would need to replace the fat source. Avocado will have too many carbs. Oil would be a better sub but how much I am not sure without doing the calculations myself.

    Don’t worry about the 2g of fat. Any plant based protein powder will not contain whey. I would choose one of the other two options instead of swapping one item in the meal.

    I typically just sear it on the stovetop. You can add lemon pepper and sea salt.

    It would be better to switch to another meal altogether. There is more carbs and protein in almonds than macadamia nuts.
    In place of the butter you could use olive oil or coconut oil.

    There are no issues at all with eating the same meals daily for a while especially if you are enjoying the foods and you are getting all of the nutrients in that you need.

    I have never heard of someone burping up cucumbers… typically peppers lol
    Have you tried taking a digestive enzyme?

    Hi Janna, I hope you saw my last post. I think you are on the wrong meal plan.

    If you don’t feel light headed, I suppose it is fine, but it is not ideal since HIIT done correctly requires a bit more fuel.

    in reply to: SuperSets / TriSets #263875

    In a superset it goes like this:
    Set 1:
    Exercise
    Exercise
    rest
    Set 2:
    Exercise
    Exercise
    rest
    Set 3:
    Exercise
    Exercise
    Rest

    A triset is 3 instead of 2 exercises back to back before resting.
    I hope that makes sense.

    You should be following the meal plan that correlates with your height which should be meal plan 3. That will make you feel better!

    You always eat meal 5 regardless if you train. Just use today as one of your off days and make sure you prepare accordingly to get the workouts in the rest of the week!

    I don’t think there is a good sub in this recipe for cucumbers. Maybe celery….

    The plant based protein that I used has 5g carbs per scoop. So the total carbs for that meal would be around 26g. All macros for each meal are within 5g above or below the goal- in this case 21g.

    The macros may be slightly off depending on the protein you use. Some plant based powders have more carbs- 10+. That is what I meant. I would not worry too much about a few extra grams 🙂 It is more about consistency than perfection.

    It should be 1/2 scoop nPower Isolate. I will adjust. Sorry about that guys! The good thing is, a little extra lean protein will not effect your progress 🙂

    Hi Claudine!
    I am not sure how this wasn’t caught before. I am so sorry! It is supposed to be 4 servings for all meals for this recipe. So do not divide by 6. Divide by 4.

    Steel cut oats are MUCH more dense. So check the labels of the amount of rolled oats (grams weighed and grams of carbs) so you know how much to swap it with the steel cut oats. It will probably less weighed for the same number of carbs.

    DB press/flip over? I don’t know what that is? Thank you!

    Do a dumbbell press and then flip over and do a standing row

    Hi. I’m still not sure if I should just be going straight through, leg to leg until all sets are complete or take breaks?
    Also with the one leg thrusts?

    If you are using the cable, it would be ideal to do all one side and then switch.
