Would the T-25 workouts count as cardio since they are HIIT/Intervals?
What are those?
I would imagine if they are HIIT and intervals that would be ok.The serving for the high day should be 3 muffins. the exchanges are: 2 FR, 1/2 F, 3/4 LP
I hope that helps.When you click on the lateral side step video link on page 42 it takes you to “it’s a time to live healthy, happy, & fit” NW website
Hi there,
Make sure you are logged in. I just tested the link and it worked. The site will log you out after awhile.They say I have no ACL & tears in my meniscus… So I avoid these because of pain associated with them… Alternative suggestions? Maybe pulsing lunges??
That sounds like that would be a great alternative.
Is there a place that people have added their creations for meals? I’m on mp 1 and curious of other creations people have made or put together. Unfortunately, I’m not very creative and some of you really are! Thanks for any and all answers!
You can always scroll through and just see the different topics people have posted and you might find some good stuff.
I’m concerned about the quantity of food. I’m 5’4 115 pounds, I’m in good shape, go to the gym 4x per week and have been able to keep this weight, and I’m a bad eater. I’m concerned that eating all these meals is going to make me gain excessive amount of weight. Any comments will be greatly appreciated
Hi there,
I would just see what happens with the plan you have high days and low days. It’s only for a short time. I would pay attention to what happens to your body.welcome!!!! We are happy to have you both.
the dumbbell squat has 4 sets of 10/10/10 (dropset). Am I really doing that 120 times or should that be 10/10/10/10???
It looks like 4 sets 10/10/10 drop sets
I was wondering that about the hip thrust as well.
Hip thrust says 1st-12, 2nd 10, 3rd-10 4th is a drop set 10/10/10
It was working before I downloaded the second version of ebook & I tried google with no luck. Darn. My links don’t work on my mobile download. 🙁
So when you click on the link it doesn’t take you to the page with the exercise? Are you not able to download it? I’m sorry I am not understanding and want to help.
What is the amount to weigh raw vegetables? I prefer eating some veggies raw vs cooked. The swap out shows for “cooked” vegetables.
I would just weigh it raw and eat up.
I’m loving the food exchange list and feel like we have a lot of variety. The one question I have is that I see on the grocery list there is freshly squeezed orange juice, is that something we can buy bottled and drink? and which category would we add it under?
If it’s on your meal plan. Some items are on some meal plans and not others.
This might be TMI – sorry if it is!
I’m feeling really bloated and having issues using the restroom. I know it’s a new way of eating so my body needs to adjust (sooner than later would be nice!) but is there anything that can help me regulate? Or take to get past this? I’m becoming very uncomfortable and will need to get relief soon. Thank you!Hi there,
Do you think it’s just a vegetables/fiber thing? If it feels like it’s more food than you are used to, just do the best you can. If you feel uncomfortable don’t eat as much. I am sure you will get adjusted.I think I found another forum about this…it seems it should be a FP. I know that forum comments said the e-book was updated(I also got an email), but I checked there before I asked and it wasn’t updated in my ebook. Unless I have to log out of her website and log back in to get the update?
Bison is a FP…let me know if It doesn’t look like the meal plan you are following hasn’t been adjusted. Thanks.
It’s like a cramping. So it might be that I just have to build it up. It feels like I am going to get a charlie horse in my butt (which they’re bad enough in a calf haha). I’ll build up bit by bit and see it that helps over time.
Yea, I think that’s more of a weakness thing. I would stop just shy of that feeling. Keep track of how many you can do. I am sure you will build it up in no time. That Hip circle is no joke. You can do this!!
I started weighted on the first set, then did only body weight after.
Do you have someone that can take a look at your form? Before finding an alternative, I would make sure that my form was spot on….if it was and I was still having problems then I would look for another exercise. Let me know
I’ve watched the videos on the difference. I just completed 60 day challenge. And now I think 2 days into this challenge I am doing it all wrong.
So three things:
1) If there is an exercise by itself with 3 sets, do you do each set of that and rest 30 secs between?
2) if there is a Superset (containing 2 exercises) do you finish the required set for each exercise, then rest, then move on to the next exercise in the superset?
3) If there is a Triset (3 exercises with three sets each) do you complete all the sets in an exercise before moving on? Or do a set of each exercise back to back, rest, and repeat?Thanks.
Ok, Let me try and answer your questions:
1. Yes, you would perform 1 set and rest, 2nd and rest and so on
2. You do one set of the first and immediately one set of the second, then rest. Continue like this for the number of sets.
3. Same concept as superset. you do exercise #1 then #2 then #3 of each of their first sets. Then rest. Then do that all over again. YOu are doing one set of the 3 exercises before resting . When done you rest and then move on to the 2nd set.Thank you Stephen….I would have answered it the same way.
Is there an alternative I can do instead of glute circles? They hurt my hips and can only get through 10ish seconds before I need to stop. I looked at the demo video and it says cable kickback for an alternative but I do not have a cable machine at home. Would a banded kickback work for this?
Can you clarify when you say it hurts? Is it like its weak and you just need to take your time and do as many as you can and slowly build up that strength. If that’s the case, I would tell you to stick with it. If you have some injury or limiting factor well that’s a different story.
So i cant do them as i dont have the strength just yet, especially the close grip ones that feel harder.
Is it better recommended to do knees down modified version or against the wall version?
Thanks!
Either way. Meet yourself where you are. If you can’t do a full push up on the knees then do it on the wall. You will be amazed at how quickly you get better. Hang in there! We all are starting from somewhere.
I hate to be that person that complains about not having enough time/energy for the workouts BUT I’m finding it impossible to make these workouts 45 minutes to an hour and I end up having to cut some of it out so I can get to work, and by the time I’m off, I barely have time or energy for the cardio. I’m getting up earlier, which is causing me to get less sleep, but any tips for getting these workouts done in an hour? I’m barely using the rest periods either (a little less than bare minimum), and I spent almost two hours on leg day! Finding adequate time (and space, none at home) to stretch is a struggle as well… Appreciate the help!
The first times performing new training workouts usually takes longer than as you progress through the plan. We are unsure of set up, sets, reps etc. But as we start doing these multiple times the time will cut down. Do the best you can.
Is there an alternative if my gym does not have a ball?
Thank you
Does it have a ham curl machine?
The Landmine Row the video shows using both arms but in the reps section it says dropset, each arm. So are we supposed to do a one arm landmine row or a regular landmine row?
I would follow what the written portion says.
Greetings,
Unfortunately I have to skip my workout tonight due to an overwhelming headache; can I double up tomorrow by doing the glutes workout in the morning and get back on track with Thursday’s upper body??
Thank you!!!
I’m sorry you aren’t feeling well. I don’t recommend doubling up. I do advise just pick it up where you left off. It’s no big deal.
Should we do mobility on rest days? Or should we be doing these after workouts? Maybe it doesn’t really matter as long as you do it a couple times a week?
Update: there is a video like everything else 🤦🏼♀️ Sorry I figured it out.NO worries. Now get to rolling 🙂
