For tomorrows cardio acceleration workout, do we do 30 sec of each exercise straight through or are there rest periods?
There is not a rest….. you set the timer for :35 and :35. You do the strength for the first and then the cardio for the second part. If you can’t make it the entire time, take a breather. Other than what you carve out for yourself, there isn’t a worked in rest break.
I’m having a brain fart lol. Is it 30 secs jump squat, rest 30 secs, 30 secs jump lunge, etc.? Or is it 30 secs jump squat, 30 secs jump lunge, etc. the rest after for 30 secs after the “round?”
Yes it says :30 work and :30 rest and take breaks where you need to for 12 min total
Hahaha! You all should have seen me scrutinizing that video trying to figure out where on the move she’s doing a hip circle. I watched it on my phone, then the iPad, then moved to my computer with the large monitor. I couldn’t see a hip circle anywhere during the exercise. I’ll just do good mornings with a band. Oh, I could check the forums!
So I came to the forums- not a single post about it. Something isn’t right here.
Next I searched online, and lo and behold, as I’m scrolling along, past videos and images… there it is — an image of the band with the name Hip Circle on it.
lol, It seriously had me stumped!You were on the case! Glad you figured it out 🙂
Any modification for the inverted row? I can get in position but can’t pull myself up. Maybe a half inch?? Just pull what little I can or is there a modification?
Increase your incline so that you are a bit more vertical instead of parallel to the ground.
Can I use both options for one meal in place of the next meal? For example Meal #2 can I do the cheesecake option 1 for meal 2 and then do the option 2 of that meal for meal 3?
The regular meals are meant to mix and match or be repeated if you want…minus the post workout because there isn’t the right amount of fat. So mix it up if you want.
I was wondering if you could help me incorporate the chicken salad with the 1/2 pita into my meal plan. I’m on meal plan 2. Not sure how I can do it with the food exchange list I do not want to eat it as a PWO. I want to use it as a meal. thanks for your help. I’m loving the meal plan so far
You could just steal a fat from another meal and put it in that one. And eat the other post workout or whatever else you want to exchange in for a post workout.
Label is 9g per 2/3 cup
So cheesecake would be 27g and the 6.75 for the chicken salad……if my math is correct. So then 4.5g per cheesecake dish and 1.68 per serving of chicken salad. Does this sound right?It sounds like you could minus 1/2 fat off somewhere for the cheescake and honestly….minimal for the other. Too small to try and take something out. I think I am understanding you correctly.
Just to clarify are you saying with the meal plan you are getting in all of the macros? And you lost 1.5 pounds? Sorry just trying to understand. Thanks
Is low sodium V8 juice ok to drink ? Also the fruits on the meal plan. What happens if you don’t get enough of those ? One of those rare people that do not like fruit, I do like pineapple but the amounts on the list is way to much pineapple to eat 🙂
It looks like it adds 8g extra carbs per serving. I would try and eat those carbs instead of drinking them tbh. I get it that you don’t like fruit. You can eat another carb in place of that if you want and eat how much pineapple you can stand.
Mine will not open. That’s why I asked the question.
What won’t open? you can’t watch the video?
I cannot download the book to my phone.
Please help need step by stepclick on challenge ebook (top line where found the forums) and when you scroll down you will see a video that says mobile download instructions. Watch that.
I am following meal plan 2 I am 5’6’’. Am super hungry with no plan. I was eating low carb, moderate protein and high fat before and same calories. Will this adjust? I am not use to being hungry consuming 1700 calories.
Hi there, iT might adjust. You are only on day 3 so give it a minute. If it doesn’t, maybe you should be in the next meal plan if you feel like you want to eat your arm off.
Hey Shauna, if you take notice, at the very bottom of the AMRAP, it give you a 30 sec recovery, so it all adds up to 12 mins total w the rest each round.
Also, if you tap on each exercise, it will take you to a video demonstration, and the warm up is the same as well. Wishing you all the best in the challenge!Thank you for the thoughtful answer!
Hi! Thanks for the reply!
I am not yet diagnosed with specifics just assumptions, since the xray did not show anything- in line for MR 🙁 There are 3 possible outcomes (small broken piece of the disc – atroscopic surgery, a tear or….) but I will only know for sure after the challenge is over.Swimming is unfortunately not an option I don’t have any options nearby to fit into my schedule.
I am trying echobike, or shorter hiit but low impact. The longer the duration the worse it gets. Same for the dog walks :/
I wonder if I could just do low impact hiit for all cardio sessions and still get results?
Many thanks,
AnettIf that’s what you can do, then do that. You have to know your limits and work within those. You’ve got this
I have bad knees and I noticed tomorrow is all squats. Any alternative exercises to these? Any advice is appreciated. I would like to do get all my workouts in.
I answered you in the other thread
Hello
The gym I’m at does not have band assist pull ups but they have a weight assist pull up. Are the band assist pull ups better and I should buy a band and find another place to do them?
You can use the weight assist machine that’s fine. Band assisted feels more legit but work with what you have.
Jodie,
Thank you for asking this kind of question! I’m trying to stretch my food with what I have until paycheck this Friday. Mine question is the same as yours but other way around. Good to know, I can do this concept.
Maureen, thanks for pointing out the macros cuz I was wondering about that. Y’all rock!!!
Youre welcome. Work with what you have 🙂
Hello,
Was reading through the pages and this statement confused me, “ I’ve marked days for those other 30-minute cardio sessions on the Program Calendar here, but shoe can be done whenever you can fit them in. For best results, I do recommend doing them on workout days that don’t include the cardio finishers.”
I’d like to ask what cardio to do for Day 1. I missed Day 1 and am pushing back Day 1 to today as advised.
She is giving you a recommended day to do those 30 min cardio days but it’s ok if you fit them in on other days. Her recommendation is to try and do them on the days without cardio finishers so you are too smoked after the workout. She is just giving you guidelines if you can’t follow the schedule 100%
Went to buy some maple syrup for the recipe and dang it’s so expensive. I can’t pay 9.00 for it so I got log cabin. Will this be ok or will it be wonky? I don’t think it will be as thick as real maple so can I add a smidgen of honey to thicken?
Im sure it’s fine. Don’t stress
Please email [email protected] and they can possibly tell you when things will be back in stock
Hello! I was seeing if I could substitute this non dairy yogurt for Greek yogurt?
Do the macros compare to what you would buy in the greek? Then yes 🙂
Is it available yet? 🤞
you can email [email protected]. they would know when it might be back if it’s not
Do you prefer we have a meal prior to working out?
Also what is the time frame you’d like us to have completed our last meal and time to restart the next day?Nicole suggests if you are comfortable eating prior to training go for it. If you aren’t used to it and want to try it, eat 1/2 before, post workout after and other 1/2 a bit after that. There isn’t a cut off to stop eating.
