Can you make the macros work for that meal by bringing something of your own into the plan? You might have to add more protein somewhere if that meal isn’t hitting close enough.
Picky vegetarian, tried the boca burgers and not a huge fan. Are these ok? Praeger’s California Veggie Burgers. Less protein but I struggle with finding things I like. Thanks!
I like to workout early in the morning, what is the opinion of Nicole and trainers to do it fasted? I would take the fat burner before though.
If you are strength training I would recommend eating half of meal one before then have your post workout and a couple hours later finish the other half of meal 1. You want to have as much energy as you can for strength training.
I am 5’2 but I weigh over 200 lbs. so I still pick the meal plan for someone under 5’4 and 130 lbs?
Pick the meal plan for your height of your height and weight aren’t in the same “category” for the plan
Let me answer your questions below each.
A few quick ??? – is it ok if you find a meal that works for you, that you have it multiple x a day? (Also double checking that you go by height and not weight on diet plan? I’m 5’3”)
Yes you can. Go by your height.
I have issues with gluten and dairy, can I sub out equivalents or will it mess up everything? (I know that many GF and DF options change macros)
You can use the subs from the exchange list. If you do it on your own, most likely it will complicate the process for you.
Can you use gym and home gym workouts interchangeably as long as the day (muscle group) is the same?
Yep. Go for it.
Thank you!!!
Welcome!!!
Hello, I am excited to do this challenge!
Due to some physical limitations I have, in the past I have used modified exercises. I also am quite active on some days more than others. On the active days I have as many as 1,400 calories burned above what I eat – like I eat 1,800 and burn 3,200 in 24 hours according to my app. Is that “okay” if that happens about 4 days a week? Or is that too much stress on my body that may prevent weight reduction? I have about 100 pounds to reduce.Thank you ahead of time.
LizzieHi there, first off make sure you choose the meal plan according to your height if you eon’t fit neatly into any of the meal plans. Sounds like you have some high activity days phew! I would start with one meal plan and then you can always move up if you are starving and just don’t feel like you have enough food. But I would follow the directions that Nicole has laid out first and see how you do. You can always change. Good luck!
Will the recovery and mobility videos be available after the challenge? This has been my favorite challenge so far and I’m planning on doing another round of it. The mobility videos have been really helpful so I’d like to continue to watch them.
Yep as lo no as you are clicking for the ebook they will be there
I would look at hamstring stretches, piriformis stretch. Some specific low back stuff would be knee hugs. One at a time and then both and then you can rock back and forth and massage the back. Try it’s a start
So, this didn’t work for me. I saved it and I get back to the video, but I don’t see arrows that will take me back to the page I was on… I still end up on the cover page of the ebook or I use the search function in the site.
Maybe it’s just the short term inconvenience as I get familiar with the exercises…
Saving it to files on your phone and go from there. The arrow is at the very top after you view the actual video. Then it takes you right back to the same page. The iPhone would say you are leaving files to get this link. That’s part of it too. Give it another shot
I have only received one follow up email (the upper body live workout).
You can email [email protected] and they can make sure you are set up correctly.
I know we are supposed to get an email when the corrections are done to the Ebook. I keep looking at the ebook and some corrections still aren’t made, like Women’s meal plan 3 Post workout option 1 has one LP but calls for 2 scoops of protein powder and the recipe for Bean and Rice burrito is still called Beans and rice although there’s no rice. Just want to wait to print the whole book until the changes are made. Thank you!
I was told that the corrections won’t be emailed out. I asked about the other corrections as well.
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,
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
