One more question to add. Is it normal for your pants to feel tighter in the thighs and butt but not waist. I know the answer is probably yes because of muscle . I’m just trying to really overcome some negative thoughts I have about my weight. I need to get that tape measure back out and measure my waist!!!
Any of the ones that have a listed number of rounds. For example the stepmill on the HITT workout says perform 4 rounds, then 4 more rounds, then 6 rounds. Do we do these in the rounds listed? Then move on to the next listed round?
Hey were you able to find out the answer? My off day is tomorrow, and I was wanting to do this meal plan as part of my day. Just wanted to make sure it is correct.
ThanksDoes our post workout macro number meal number need to stay about the same after this challenge is over? I want to continue to gain muscle and have my numbers correct. I never realized the importance of the post workout meal until this challenge!!
Was wanting some advice on what to do if you are doing a specific weight on the weight machine and your doing the max reps. You can increase but the weight machine is only in increments of 10 pounds. If I go to 20 pounds for the exercise its too much. I can only do about 2 reps correctly at 20 pounds. Was doing the single arm cable lateral raise. Im doing 10 pounds and 12 reps. I need to go up.
On Saturdays work out for the second session. Weeks 4-6. What does reps 12×5 (warmup) then 3×8-12 (set of 5) exactly mean. They are squat exercises.
Good morning,
I was wanting to switch some workout days. I understand to keep the same workout but don’t know which meal (high/low) to do? If I do that, how do I adjust my food. High/Low Days? For example, tomorrow is a low day & a off day. But I want to do Fridays workout tomorrow, and Friday is a high day.
ThanksAlso wanted clarification on how many servings for the Broccoli & Cheese Stuffed Chicken Recipe? I thought Nicole said the serving amount listed was wrong?
Good morning,
Was wondering if I do not use the recipe option that I would just substitute for something else within the same food groups listed. For example, if I want option 1 but DO NOT want the Breakfast Burrito, I would just use a (SC, LP, F) still correct?As I was reading through the ebook I noticed that page 9 shows the HIGH Day on Friday for 3 consecutive weeks. Then on page 10 it shows the HIGH day on Thursday for 3 consecutive weeks. Then on page 61 it has a place that shows the HIGH Day on Thursday. Is page 9 wrong? Where it shows HIGH day on Friday for 3 consecutive weeks. Everything else is consistent but page 9 isn’t.
Thank you! Another Question:
1) Im going to make the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Smoothie soon. Can i use natural peanut butter with the same amount instead of natural cashew butter?
Thank you! I have a few more questions.
1)What’s the reasoning behind measuring certain foods in grams? And why does she measure meat when cooked? I have always measured raw meat uncooked. I’m use to doing macros and everything i have measured in the past has been measured in ounces. Trying to learn more about nutrition and just wondering these things?2) If you workout first thing in the morning, does Nicole encourage Breakfast before your first workout?
3) When is the best time to drink BURN? Along with the preworkout TRAIN or after your workout?
1)
Can you clarify what a drop set is? Its on Day 2. Its using the leg extension machine. I read the definition and I’m still a little confused. A drop set is where you start off at a relatively heavier weight, do 10 reps, then decrease the weight by about 5-10lbs, do 10 more reps, then drop the weight again and do 10 more reps.
2) Has Nicole already sent out the revised corrections in the ebook? An email will be going out to all challenge participants soon as soon as we’ve compiled all of the corrections so keep a look out in you email.
3) On the High Day you give the opportunity for the protein powder 3 times? Is that ok? I thought i read something on 3 scoops would be too much in one day? I’m not sure what you are asking, just make sure the protein totals of your portion/serving size listed on the container match up to the goal protein totals for the meal you are referring to. Your total calories and macros for the day should match up to the goal totals in your meal plan for the day.
4) As long as you are eating all the food in a day can you combine meals if you miss a meal?
Correct, yes.
