    Hello! For the VIP live workout videos, will an email be sent out to members so we can watch the taped videos?

    There is usually an email with a replay.

    I was diagnosed with the flu on Saturday March 30th. Today is 8 days post diagnosis and I believe I am feeling at about 90%. I rested A LOT this past week! I did not exercise at all except for the occasional walk with the dogs. It’s Monday and I think I’m ready to test thing out. I usually workout after work – so 5:30pm. I think this week, I should just focus on STRENGTH. Do you think I should TRY to get in my cardio if I feel ok ? or focus on strength this week?

    I would start with your strength and then see how you feel from there. That alone might be enough considering you were sick.

    Yea it might be tough if you don’t have a treadmill that has a one touch speed where you can just push 7.5 or whatever speed you need. If you have to use an up or down arrow it takes longer. Do the best you can.

    Does sparkling water count as part of your water intake?

    I don’t see why not. It doesn’t taste as refreshing.

    I have to watch the videos on my iPhone (does everybody)? But I would love to be able to cast them to my Sony TV and see them on a big screen as I work out along with. Does anyone know if this is possible? I know how to cast something to the TV, but it doesn’t seem to accept PDFs…
    Is the e-book housed somewhere else I could access the overview and individual videos for the day’s workout? I can put a url into the TV and be able to go there…
    Any insight would be appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Usually with iPhone you can screen share. But your tv has to have that capability. I usually mirrors what’s on your phone. Give that a try

    Hi Maureen,

    28 gr of carbs

    If the exchange on that meal is 1 FR then you can have 1 medium banana. Follow the exchange list and you will be well fed 😊

    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,
    Laura

    For 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.

    I don’t know if my knees can handle this. Any suggestions for an alternate??

    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!
