Mo, can you please respond to my question. Thanks.

Sorry. 3 days and take a look at increasing your steps per day as well.

Maureen, it is in one of the cardio workouts page 46 SWEATFLIX AND THRILL dumbbells and mat workout

I would just google what you don’t know. Db drag you start in a plank and then with your right hand drag the db from the left side across. Repeat with the left. The key will be to just keep going.

I like to keep things ultra simple for meal planning, preparing and eating the same meals most days. I like the Meal 2 Option 2 on page 65 (LP, 1 1/4 SC, V, F) – it fits very well with the food combos I like to eat. Can I use this “formula” for Meals 1-4 every day? Would I stay within the calories, carb, protein, fat totals with this approach?

You should be ok doing this. Nicole says you can eat the same meals over again so go for it

I’m not seeing these types of fish on the exchange list, are you able to confirm these are all lean protein sources? I’m wondering if trout is maybe a fatty protein? Thanks!

The exchange list is pretty extensive. I would keep to what’s on the exchange list. If that’s something you would want to see in the future on the exchange let Nicole know. Trout looks like it has 4-5g of fat but again. I’m just guessing by what I googled. That’s why I would stick to what’s in the exchange list.

Is there a substitute you would recommend? Ezekiel maybe?

I’m sure that’s fine to have

Reverse pec dec reps… says to increase weight as you decrease reps, but the rep range is 3 x 15. Did you want us to do straight reps or pyramid with weight increases?

The rep range should actually read 15,12,10 which would make more sense why the weight would increase.

Would a scoop of “greens powder” count as a vegetable serving?

I would always eat my vegetables for fiber etc. You can do a greens powder but in addition to your meals.

Im exchanging coucous for quinoa. When I weigh out 100gm and then measure out 1/2cup…the 100grams does not fit into 1/2cup. There is about 35 grams of overflowing couscous. Just verifying the measurements please.

I would always just weigh it. It’s more accurate. The exchanges are always going to be as close as we can get….nothing will ever be exact.

I am 5’7″, 140 lbs. If I go by height and follow meal plan 3, I am afraid that is too many calories. Thoughts?

I would just go for it. If you have no idea what you were taking in I think the calories will be good. You aren’t there very long before the cut happens.

For the meal 2 option 1, is deli turkey fine to use or is cooked turkey breast best?

I would go with turkey breast not lunchmeat….unless you are pressed for time.

Hi
I just watched the Facebook live video on the challenge. In regards to cardio would it be too much to do 3×30 minutes sessions plus aim for 7500 to 10,000 steps per day (including rest days) ?

Thank you!
Rebecca

I don’t necessarily think so. I think depending on what you chose for your cardio your steps might get up there anyway. It’s a good focus to keep those steps up

I’m not a fan of ricotta cheese and it usually upsets my stomach. Can I sub it for cottage cheese instead ? I know it will change the macros but the consistency will it work ?

It’s too hard to work on subs when it comes to a recipe. I would just take the exchanges for that meal and make soemthing that works better for you

Came here to say the same thing. The link in the ebook doesn’t work, neither does the one you just shared. I gave up and just googled it lol
Attached is the page everyone who isn’t a member (I assume) gets routed to.

can you email [email protected]. Maybe they can help you with the technical stuff….It’s working on my end, so I’m not sure why it won’t work for you.

How long will the yogurt chicken mixture last in the fridge?
Thx!

A cooked mixture is prob good 3-4 days. I usually stick to 3 days and then I can’t do it lol

[Maureen]

I agree those calories are pretty low for you. I would start with meal plan 1 since it’s more calories than you have been eating. It’s not double but if you were under eating even meal plan 1 is a bump up for you. I do agree you probably should be in meal plan 2 but that’s a big jump for you.

[Maureen]

There isn’t a fat in the post workout meal. It’s designed that way. You can spray some Pam and cook up the eggs….handboil some and save some yolks for fat in another day if you don’t want to waste

[Maureen]

I would work within your limits. Your ROM that is comfortable for you. Do a longer warm up and make sure you target the areas that need more attention for your body. You could just do a goblet squat instead of a BB front squat and see how that feels.

The cardio workouts look great but I’m not familiar with some of the moves for the dumbbells + Mat and I don’t see links to videos.
Plank with dumbbells drag?
Fast feet with dumbbell catch?

Can you let us know exactly where you are looking? Follow along workout? The do it yourself? What day etc

Hi there
I just clicked it and it sent me to the warmup video. Can you tell me the steps you are doing? Thanks

Great question! I’ve put on weight too but not getting in my cardio. What is the macro breakdown on resting vs non resting days?

Look at the bottom of the page for whichever plan you are on. It’s broken Down there.

This might seem silly, but how do I find the photos that I entered for the start of the challenge.? I can’t remember where what part of my house I took them and what bikini I had on. I know that’s crazy, but I can’t remember.

You can email [email protected] they might be able to help. If you take them on your phone try looking back around that time. Maybe you kept them.

Dumbbell neutral grip/press Tricep extension combo

Since my shoulders are much more stronger than my triceps, is it ok to pump out 12 shoulders with one weight (no rest) then pump out 12 tricep with lighter weight?
I feel like the weight is so light for shoulders otherwise.[/quote
I would just perform it as is. When you perform the first part triceps are involved and help that action and then you hit them again in the extension. Just focus on the squeeze and keeping a nice controlled tempo. You might find you can start to do more than you think.

[Maureen]

You can put your hands on an elevated surface. When you go down for the push up your head goes forward but as you push back up to are making sure you are finishing overhead like you would on the ground. Your butt is still piked up.
