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.
Hi, on the at home dumbell bodyweight day 1 lower body workout: the video link is incorrect for the single leg db stiff legged deadlift. If you can correct this because I don’t know how to do this move. Thank you.
There were a few links that didn’t match up.
They are being fixedDoes it matter how we do the lunges? Is it OK to do reverse lunges or stationary? Do they work the same?
If it specifies reverse, stationary squats r walking I would follow what it says. Are you referring to a specific workout.
Hi is thr salmon serving 2 4oz or just 1 4oz piece?
Hi there are you referring to the exchange list or a certain meal plan question? Thanks
So no rice?
Correct but watch for the revision to see if anything else was adjusted.
How does Marco Polo work? So I create a sharecast or invite via link or create a group?
Email [email protected] if you didn’t receive directions and are in the elite group.
Hello. I was trying to share a blank workout log that I made for myself on the community page in case anyone could use it to help record their workouts. Says my post was removed. There is nothing on there that would jeopardize the challenge. I do know not to do these things.
There is a place to write your workouts, reps, weight lifted. I do not know how to share this excel page with everyone on that page. I am not tech savvy. Sorry just trying to share with everyone that is and is not in the challenge. It helps me. Thank you 🙂I’m not sure why it was removed but You could make a post and ask if anyone wants your spreadsheet and you can email it to them. I get you were only trying to be helpful.
i just submitted my photos but with the #gunzandbunz
do i need to re-submit?
Nicole said you do not have to resubmit your photos if you used “z”.
Is it ok to assume that two full eggs are 13 gr of protein, 10 gr of fat since they are only listed as egg whites and yolks?
Thanks,6 whites is about 25g of protein and 2 yolks would be 10g of fat. APPROX.
so 2 whites would be about 8g of protein.
I woudln’t try and count macros based on the exchange list. These foods are not exactly those numbers.Can someone tell me the total amount of cardio we need on cardio days? I know it
is most likely in there somewhere and I am probably staring at it but I seem to be blind lol.Each cardio workout looks to be 30 min. I honestly didn’t see it in the book either.
Oh sorry that I missed that in another question. I will check through all the posts next time before I ask.
<3it’s all good. You wouldn’t have seen that a question was asked. Ask away.
Ok, I’m sorry I’m still confused over here lol I’ve read the other threads in regards to this and I’m still lost. I just want to make sure I’m understanding correctly.
2×10, 6 (warm up) : Means two sets total, one set of 10, and one set of 6
4×10, 8, 6, 6 : Means four sets total, one set of 10….one set of 8, one set of 6, one set of 6
I’m overthinking this I’m sure, but just want to make sure I’m doing it correctly. Thank you!
Deep breath. You are overthinking a bit.
one set of 10
one set of 6one set of 10
one set of 8
one set of 6
one set of 6Total of 6 sets
Just saved to my files like you said, that works!!
Game changer
You don’t have to redo your pics if you spelled it with a “z”. Rest easy
Would 100g of hearts of palm be considered 1 serving of V? Or is it not allowed?
ThanksI think you would have to check the carb content on that…if it’s not listed as an exchange. If you aren’t 100% sure then I would omit it.
Any word on the rice quantity ?
LOL that is Nicole’s mistake. she had rice in there at first but the carb macros ended up way too high so she eliminated it but forgot to change the title of the recipe. So rice is omitted.
The Superset on GYM WORKOUT Day 6 Weeks 1/3/5 has 2 exercises with 4 Reps and the rest with 3 reps. Are these all supposed to be 3 reps or should we go back after the 3 supersets and do another set of 1-1/4 BBSS and DBFS (which would be total torture).
Are you referring to exercises 5 and 6 both say 4 sets but these others say 3? Im assuming you didn’t mean reps..I will ask nicole. Thanks!
I noticed that the following exercises are linked to the wrong videos in the ebook (or the video is correct, but the exercise name needs to be changed). These are in the At-Home (Dumbbell/Bodyweight) section.
