You’re welcome
I absolutely cannot get this right. Is there an alternative to help me get stronger?
Where are you having trouble? Maybe I can help
I do weights first thing in the morning like 15 mins upon waking. And I do cardio in the afternoon. What order should I eat my meals? Meal 5 first?
You could eat 1/2 of meal one in the morning , strength train and then have your post workout meal and a couple hours after eat the other half of meal 1band then continue on with your day
Hi all,
After my workouts, I make a protein shake with a banana. Is that enough carbs or do I need to include another carb?
Thanks,
LauraFor your meal plan what does the post workout meal as for in terms of carbs?
Burpee Bonanza it is for today. What is the difference between a jump lunge and a plyometric lunge?
They are the same thing. Just got confirmation
Just free with a bar. No squat rack. 🙁
if you have two plyo boxes you could set the bar on there and then get under it….but if you don’t, it’s prob not safe to really try it any other way IMO
May I substitute unsweetened coconut milk for the unsweetened almond milk in the recipes?
almond usually has 30-40 calories…is coconut the same?
For the at-home equipment workout- barbell kneeling squat.
I feel like I could make it heavier, (have 60lbs on) but don’t know how I would get the weight off if it was heavier -am I crazy or is there a safe way to load up? (By myself)
Do you have a squat rack? Or are you doing this just free with a bar?
So 5 on each side for the knee tuck combo, correct?

I would say do each move and that’s one rep….therefore you are doing 10 of each…20 total.
Honestly, They appear to be the same when I did some digging. I will double check with Nicole.
That would work, thanks!!
You got it!
I don’t know if my knees can handle this. Any suggestions for an alternate??

What about a hip thrust?
Burpee Bonanza it is for today. What is the difference between a jump lunge and a plyometric lunge?
Is this on a specific day so I can take a look at the context.
I attempted the chair assisted pistol squats and my left knee is hurting and I am unable to put all of my weight on that left leg. I ended up skipping that exercise due to the pain. Is there an alternate one I can do?
Thanks!Elevate yourself even more. With my clients I use different levels of boxes so they can get as much help as they need. You can always use your other leg as a “kickstand” to help you get up there as well.
Do we pyramid up on each set no matter what the exercise is or do we use the same weight throughout and increase the next time we do that workout[/quote
You should always try and challenge yourself. If you do one set and you know you could have done more reps, then move up the next time.Do we have to put our measurements in the email with our before pictures?
When you click the link where it says upload photos it will ask you for all of your measurements there. So when you click on challenges-buns and guns….scroll down where you see where you download the book, you can get into the forums etc. That’s where you find the part that says “upload photos”. You aren’t emailing them.
Day 3. I can hardly walk, or sit or bend over. Can I switch my rest day to today and do the day 3 workout tomorrow instead? I still plan on stretching and a bit of cardio today.
Absolutely!
For this super set on day 3 gym workouts, should we do the both exercises on one leg before switching to the other side or do glute circles each side then side plank leg raises each side?
I would do one full exercise on both legs then switch to the next one.
We had the same question today! We were either going to do 6 reps twice or drop to 4 and go up in weight. We opted for 6 more at the same weight. Hope your training is going well!
Good call!
Hi,
I am always a little confused when submitting my pictures. I think everyone’s pictures look closer up than mine when I take them so I always crop mine before submitting. Is that something that should be done or does it matter? TIAI don’t think you need to crop them. It works well if you set up the camera about chest height on a dresser or something and set up the timer. They usually are perfect distance. Don’t stress. Just remember how you took them the first time and repeat that.
I have tried every whey isolate protein powder on the market & they all irritate my stomach. Would the Power Burn substitute for protein powder in the meal plan? Which flavor Power Burn does everybody love the most?
Do you mean the supplement burn from Nicole’s line? It would be more of a focus/energy supplement. So no, it wouldn’t be a good sub. I would go to your local supplement shop and ask them their opinion. Good stores will be able to help without you buying an entire tub.
Where would fat free milk fall into on the list? I don’t like almond milk
in 8oz you might get 13g carbs and 9g protein……depends on the brand etc. I would pay attention to the carbs on this one. We could always use some extra protein.
Ok this is confusing me. I show 3 sets of 10. Is each set a drop set or just the last set? And when we do do a drop set then it’s 10 reps each for 3 drop sets? So 60# for 10, then 50# for 10, then 40# for 10?
No, It’s 3 sets that look just like this: 1 set of 10 then drop the weight and do 10 more. Rest then Repeat that 2 more times.
Also what makes it a double crunch? Am I also crunching up my lower abs?
Yea if you check out the video you can see her butt comes up a bit as well as the upper body.
At the end for the abs is it 3x 10 total or 10 for each knee to elbow so making is 20 total. Same for knee tucks…10 knee snd 10 v up total 20 or 10 total so 5 each?
The knee tuck combo would be 10 each. I would go for 10 total on the knee to elbow.
