I’ve tried that, tried internet explorer, tried chrome and tried from my iphone….nothing works for those ones. No problems with any of the others.
what’s your email? he is going to check you out
Ok picture did upload finally.
Just emailed someone to take a look. Because they are still working for me. So I am not sure why they aren’t for you. Try opening them in a new internet window just for kicks.
The cardi sessions are really draining me! I do it fasted in the morning and after work i do weight training. I hardly have energy left for stenght training!
My cardio sessions are very early in the morning (4:30am) I don’t really want to do strenght training on a empty stomach that early either. What to do?Why not eat something before the cardio….the sessions are tough you might want to try doing them fed not fasted.
I’m wanting to make some zooddles (zucchini noodles), can I use a half a cup of tomato sauce? I plan on having ground turkey with it.
Thanks!If it’s not in the exchange that’s a no. There are usually added sugars etc in marinara.
I’m glad somebody else is posting about the tuna. I have been measuring 2 full cans(5oz cans). Once you drain the water it comes out to be 7oz of tuna. Its such a lot of tuna and having to force myself to eat it, that’s the problem. Is anybody else doing anything in place of tuna? Recommendations please.
Just read the can….you will know how many oz’s of tuna is contained in each can. The liquid in there is meant to be drained. Am I missing something on this discussion lol
Just tried it and it didn’t work
are you logged in?
Hi,
I didn’t write down my measurements that first week, I just measured and inputted it into your page. I went back to look it up and the page is closed. Is there some way to get my measurements from you?
You can try contacting [email protected]. They may have them handy.
So I went through and found that the Standing calf raise, Lying cable crunch (both phase 2) and Bench dip (phase 1) are not working for me. Says I have to be a member still.
Standing calf raise, lying cable are both working for me. Have you tried them recently….Sorry you are having so much trouble.
Hi everyone, can I do not take day off??? I start the nutrition plan the 13th and the 14th was my first day of work out.. I’m one week behind, I was working 14 to 15 hours at day plus movimand not enough time to workout or prepare my meals.. I work at restaurant, i am a waitress and I walk a lot…my first day of workout when I was doing the cardio I didn’t finish, I can’t!! I got so week, and my legs were tired.. but finally I’m going back to my regular hours at work and I’ll be available to rest little more, so I was thinking about not to take days off and at the 3r week I’ll be at par with everyone else.. I feel little down because I start late but I will not quit and I will try work harder.. what u guys recommend?
I would use those rest days. Going non stop for the entire challenge is not how it’s designed. You will eventually feel pretty run down if you don’t work the rest days into the program. Body needs rest after these tough training days.
Some are now working for me but on todays workout the lying cable crunch did not work just now. There were 2 others this morning that didn’t work but they are now.
ok thank you.Let me know if you have any other problems.
I’ve seen links in a couple places now for http://www.npowerfitnesscamps.com but every time I try to go there it just goes to the GoDaddy site. When will this link go live? Is next year’s schedule available yet? Sorry, I’m sure you’ve figured out by now I’m not very patient.
Keep going to the old website….when the switchover happens it will automatically take you to the new site. http://www.getphatwithnicole.com
LEG DAY QUESTION,,,, CAN I DO CARDIO BEFORE? I UNDERSTAND NOT TO DO IT AFTER
???????? THANKS CP
I would either split the cardio up: Cardio=morning Strength=evening
If not, I would do cardio after weights…so you are using that fuel to get the most out of your strength training workout.Good Morning
I had alarm clock issues (user error) this am and missed my fasted cardio session. Today is Phase 2 day 3 for me with tomorrow as a scheduled rest day. To get the most benefit out of the program, should add the missed cardio to tonight’s weight workout or just do fasted cardio tomorrow on my rest day? Or am I just being too OCD Thanks!
RebeccaYou could do it after your strength. I would like to see the rest days be complete rest days.
Hi Ladies- Can you clarify Tuesday’s w/o Legs/Glutes. Is it 8 sets, 8 reps (each leg) of walking lunges or 4 sets 10 reps, (each leg). Thanks Much- Kathy
Sorry for the mix up. It’s 8 sets of 8 reps.
Hello,
I need advice because I work nightshift so my eating schedule is messed up. Some days I have 24 hour days and some days I have 12 hour days (I know I am supposed to sleep 8 hours but it is impossible for me, I have to get sleep when I can and make my workouts a priority to stay on track). My question is if I have to eat every 3 hours should I start combining meals from two days to try and stay on schedule on my long days, or should I eat only the allotted meals for each day? I have tried both but would rather know the best approach from professionals. This became a huge problem for me during the 12 week Olympia Challenge.I wouldn’t combine 2 days of meals. I would however possibly add 300-400 calories on the days you are up for 24 hours and see how that works. Make sure you track in MFP so you can see if that works, if not, maybe you need to try something else. Another option would be to put those meals into smaller portions so that they can stretch through the day…but you may not have enough energy that way. That’s a tough schedule.
If we can’t get our cardio in for the day should we still eat all of our calories/macros or should we lower them?
I would leave the calories the same. I would just try to plan out your workouts a bit better. I know it can be tough, but if it is important try and find a way.
Trying to find a fat burner with all the recommended ingredients is posing a bit of a challenge! Any recommendations? Also, how should this be used when using a pre-workout?
Thanks in advance for the help AND keep up the good work!
#OneDayBecomesAnotherAndYourStrongerYou can take a fat burner in the morning as indicated. The pre workout can be taken before your strength workout. I wouldn’t take them along side each other. They both can contain caffeine and that could make you feel a little too shaky and weird and can be dangerous. Hope that helps.
I have followed the Program diet and training to a T and dropped 3 pounds as of Friday. I was so excited about the progress but then the weekend comes around! I really struggle with the weekends and sticking to the meal plan especially dinner and evenings. Please share any ideas that may help me. Thank you…off to start week #2!
Hi there. Weekends are tough. Make sure the meals are prepared. If you are done with your meals for the day, drink some hot tea at night. That will fill you up even more.
Some videos are still not showing up….like today at least 3 said you had to be a member. Can you fix that please :). Thanks
Exactly which ones aren’t working? I just tested them all and they are working fine for me.
Thank youWill we have access to the content once the program is complete? I broke my foot, so I am getting my guns done, but very limited on buns and cardio
Print everything out. You usually only have a week post challenge.
Hello,
Since I don’t like any potato salad, what could you propose as a substitute? I trided the recipe 3 times but last time I almost puke.
Thanks,301 cals 34g carb, 32g pro, 4.5 fat are the totals.
egg whites with a whole egg and a 1/2 cup of oats
5oz sweet potato, 4oz chicken breast and 7 almonds.
Just a couple of ideas. Use MFP to try and make some substitutions that you prefer so you can fit those macros and not puke lolHi, no videos for reverse crunch and lying cable crunch…
I see it. I just emailed the person to take care of this….please check back soon. Thanks.
For the phase 2 exercises, should we use the same weight to complete each set per exercise or should we continue increasing weight per set?
If you can increase it…but it will be tough because you are doing a lot more sets. When I say “increase” the weight, I mean a weight that you can keep good form and get through those sets.
Not sure what Naomi and Maureen would say but I find that drinking BCAAs (I like them very diluted — I have 1 scoop of a 2:1:1 mix in 24 ounces of water) helps me a lot.
I think that’s just fine. I do the same 🙂
Thank you, Maureen!
You’re welcome. Good luck!
My cardio sessions are very early in the morning (4:30am) I don’t really want to do strenght training on a empty stomach that early either. What to do?
