Hey Shauna, if you take notice, at the very bottom of the AMRAP, it give you a 30 sec recovery, so it all adds up to 12 mins total w the rest each round.
Also, if you tap on each exercise, it will take you to a video demonstration, and the warm up is the same as well. Wishing you all the best in the challenge!Thank you for the thoughtful answer!
Hi! Thanks for the reply!
I am not yet diagnosed with specifics just assumptions, since the xray did not show anything- in line for MR 🙁 There are 3 possible outcomes (small broken piece of the disc – atroscopic surgery, a tear or….) but I will only know for sure after the challenge is over.Swimming is unfortunately not an option I don’t have any options nearby to fit into my schedule.
I am trying echobike, or shorter hiit but low impact. The longer the duration the worse it gets. Same for the dog walks :/
I wonder if I could just do low impact hiit for all cardio sessions and still get results?
Many thanks,
AnettIf that’s what you can do, then do that. You have to know your limits and work within those. You’ve got this
I have bad knees and I noticed tomorrow is all squats. Any alternative exercises to these? Any advice is appreciated. I would like to do get all my workouts in.
I answered you in the other thread
Hello
The gym I’m at does not have band assist pull ups but they have a weight assist pull up. Are the band assist pull ups better and I should buy a band and find another place to do them?
You can use the weight assist machine that’s fine. Band assisted feels more legit but work with what you have.
Jodie,
Thank you for asking this kind of question! I’m trying to stretch my food with what I have until paycheck this Friday. Mine question is the same as yours but other way around. Good to know, I can do this concept.
Maureen, thanks for pointing out the macros cuz I was wondering about that. Y’all rock!!!
Youre welcome. Work with what you have 🙂
Hello,
Was reading through the pages and this statement confused me, “ I’ve marked days for those other 30-minute cardio sessions on the Program Calendar here, but shoe can be done whenever you can fit them in. For best results, I do recommend doing them on workout days that don’t include the cardio finishers.”
I’d like to ask what cardio to do for Day 1. I missed Day 1 and am pushing back Day 1 to today as advised.
She is giving you a recommended day to do those 30 min cardio days but it’s ok if you fit them in on other days. Her recommendation is to try and do them on the days without cardio finishers so you are too smoked after the workout. She is just giving you guidelines if you can’t follow the schedule 100%
Went to buy some maple syrup for the recipe and dang it’s so expensive. I can’t pay 9.00 for it so I got log cabin. Will this be ok or will it be wonky? I don’t think it will be as thick as real maple so can I add a smidgen of honey to thicken?
Im sure it’s fine. Don’t stress
Please email [email protected] and they can possibly tell you when things will be back in stock
Hello! I was seeing if I could substitute this non dairy yogurt for Greek yogurt?
Do the macros compare to what you would buy in the greek? Then yes 🙂
Is it available yet? 🤞
you can email [email protected]. they would know when it might be back if it’s not
Do you prefer we have a meal prior to working out?
Also what is the time frame you’d like us to have completed our last meal and time to restart the next day?Nicole suggests if you are comfortable eating prior to training go for it. If you aren’t used to it and want to try it, eat 1/2 before, post workout after and other 1/2 a bit after that. There isn’t a cut off to stop eating.
In the substitution list it says starchy carbs are 25g carbs, and veggies are 10g of carbs. Could I replace 1 SC with 2.5 veg? Or would I be better to just calculate the macros/calories myself for that meal? I am a veggie lover!
Im sure that would be ok. If you are super savvy with macros you might want to double check. I wouldn’t want you to be super low carb. Remember the numbers with exchanges aren’t exact.
Can somebody check this out it has for the spaghetti squash casserole. It states one serving is.
2 v, 1/2 F,P
V 100 grams lettuce spring mix
1/2 v cucumbers
F
OC
I am just clarifying that would mean three vegetables total one and a half fats and one protein is that accurate?Double checking with Nicole now
Hi! Both supplements Power Train and Power Burn say consume prior to exercise. Can they be mixed together? As in consumed all at once or is that too much? And if it is too much, what is the recommendation?
Thanky you! Second challenge, first time utilizing supplements.
Hi there,
I would take Train prior to strength. You can take burn prior to as well or even cardio. Utilize it like when you need more energy. I wouldn’t take it past 3pm…if you are sensitive to caffeine it might keep you up like you drank some coffee. That’s how I use them.I think what happened was the email said the call was last night, but when you clicked the link it said today. We will be sending the replay out today if you missed it. Make sure you are signed up for Marco Polo to get the daily video messages and notifications.

Hi! Sorry it’s not on the plan I just wasn’t sure if I wanted to use it as an exchange how I could incorporate it. I use it normally in place of noodles for some things. Thank you.
If you aren’t skilled with tracking macro numbers etc. I would stick to the exchange list that Nicole has provided for you. It makes it easier and you don’t have to figure out how and where something can work.

If there are 3 sets, is it better to do the same weight for all 3 sets, or to start at one weight (for example 25lbs),then increase the weight for each set (30 for set #2, then 35 for set #3)
From page 16
So if you are one of those who is always reaching for the 12-15 pound dumbbells on
a certain exercises, do yourself a favor: Step out of your comfort zone and reach for
the 20 pounders. You might not be able to reach the listed number of reps, but at
least you’ll be challenging yourself and overloading the muscle.
You can always drop the weight back down if it proves to be too heavy.So it looks like you need to pick up the heavier weights. Sometimes after the first set you can feel you can go heavier because you reached the rep range with ease.
I’ve been doing the womens meal plan 2, I’ve been eating the bagel and egg whites. I want to try the cauliflower oats. Can we take both options from meal 1 to eat in one day?
Yes, If you wanted to eat an option more than once you can do that as well. Or you can eat for meal 1 the first option and for meal 2 the second option from meal 1. Mix and match.
Gotcha! Thank you so much!
You’re welcome! Good luck
For the vegan meals plans protein is referred to as “P”. For the regurlar its LP and FP. If you are going to eat from both meal plans, the only caveat is that you have to exchange from it’s own exchange list. If you eat vegan you must use the vegan meal plan exchange list and vice versa. They aren’t meant to be mixed and matched any other way. So the “P” is correct.
I am part of the VIP. The email says there is a call tonight but I think it is tomorrow from what Nicole said? Which is correct?
I believe it’s tomorrow night. 4pm PST Today was the Facebook live to answer questions about the challenge.
