It’s a hamstring curl because her feet are on top of the pad pushing down which uses the hamstrings. A leg extension would have the feet underneath the pad, and the motion would be to lift up using the quads.
The superset just includes the Leg Press + Leg Press Calf Raise. Do three sets of those two exercises. Then move on to 4 sets of the 1-1/4 Bulgarian split squats, 4 sets of front squat, etc.
I like to use a shaker cup (the kind that has a metal whisk ball). Or you could try a slower blender speed and shorter blend time or a small hand whisk.
Hummus is a fat. It’s on the vegan exchange list, but also on the meal plans it shows (1/2 F) which means one half of a fat serving. So you could sub half a serving of another fat.
I know Nicole said the ball recipe isn’t going to be part of the Summer Shred, but can it be made available as a separate download, pleeeaaase? I can’t do every challenge (I’ve done 5 so far) and it hasn’t been in any of the ones I’ve done. I’ve heard so much about “the balls”… I need that recipe! 🙂
I often have trouble finding things too so I have been using browser bookmarks when I come across a page I want to see again. On last Sunday’s FB live, Nicole said they are redesigning the website so things will be easier to find because the search function does not work as well as it could. So you aren’t doing anything wrong 🙂
I’m “skinny-fat”, 5′ 5″ 113 lbs. I don’t need to lose weight but I need to lose fat. Is the Summer Shred good for that or should I try to build more muscle first?
You might be trying to print the low resolution version of the file. If you click on the image, it will open up the full size file that you can then save or print. You can tell the low res versions because they have “386×500” (or something similar) in the filename.
If your goal is to follow the program 100% then, like others have said, no swaps. But if you don’t want to eliminate a whole meal because of one ingredient, and are okay with being a little off on the macros, then you could search for a veggie that is roughly equivalent in macros and calories. I found this chart by googling “vegetable macro comparison”. For example, 1/2 cup of brussels sprouts is roughly equivalent to 1/2 cup of onion or a little less than 1 cup of banana peppers.
