Page 23 gym workouts the chest supported row video is not showing
I will let tech support know! Thank you ☺️
Serving size is 2 protein balls, men’s meal plan shows 1 1/3 servings (4 protein balls). Is this correct? Wondering why it doesn’t show 2 servings.
I see what you’re saying, let me reach out to Nicole z& find out
I got clarification and the servings should be 3 protein balls, not 4 👍
How do we get on the live call tonight? I didn’t see an email.
The email w/ link to call went out yesterday with the weekly Level Up and another email will go out today 🙂
Hi!
Is there a recommendation for how many steps we should get for non-cardio days or all days in general? My plan is to continue to aim for 8 to 10,000 steps per day every day
Thank you
RebeccaThat is a great goal but there is no required amount since some people are starting from 2,000-5,000 steps. Just increasing from where you are now is a good goal ☺️

Hello! Verifying the ingredients is correct, specially the protein powder (as that seems much higher than normal). I ask because I mixed it all and it is very dry, not able to roll any balls. If recipe amounts are correct, recommendation on what to add to make them rollable?
The recipe is correct. You can try adding a little water if it seems too dry and see if that helps.
Super excited to do this challenge! It’s been a long time since I’ve done a Nicole Wilkins challenge and I’m ready! I’ve always loved them in the past. My question is on fiber. Ever since I hit menopause, I’ve been reading about the importance of getting enough fiber. And I’m wondering if you can provide the fiber count for the meal plans, I’m specifically asking for the vegan meal plans. Thank you in advance.
In the vegan plan specifically if followed the diet as written the base diet meal plan one is 34 g of fiber and then each meal plan goes up from there about 5 g
Can I have Canadian bacon instead of turkey bacon.
Yes, they are pretty similar in calories & macros 🙂
I know we are supposed to go with height for the meal plans but what if we are in between?
Im shrinking a bit with age so I’m around 5’7 1/2.
Do I choose meal plan 3 or 4?
I’m afraid to choose too many calories but don’t want to short change myself either.
I will add that I’m at the “top end “of weight. Lol
Thank you!I would start with 4 and see how that goes for 1-2 weeks, then if you feel you need to bump down to 3 after a few weeks you can do that. Best of luck with the challenge 🙂
What are the cons of adding more intense cardio sessions occasionally (zone 3 or 4), if any?
You can structure the cardio however you want to, as long as it adds up to 90 min per week total. It’s up to you 😭
Will we have access to the follow along workout videos after the challenge ends?
Yes 😊
I would like to place an order, and I cannot find the discount code for the challenge. Please help

Hi. I was in vacation last week and missed week 3. I tried to make good choices for my nutrition but was not following the program daily. I also only got one workout in (and lots of walking).
For this week, should I do week 3 or move on to week 4 with the program?I would just move on to be current with week 4 otherwise you’ll be behind the rest of the challenge.
Hello
I am doing all the workouts plus cardio and following the meal plan. I have not seen any results yet. No weight loss, no change in measurements or look. I have been doing some high protein and lifting prior to this but was hoping this would help me slim down my abdomen and hips but nothing is happening:(With body composition changes, a lot of times things are happening that we can’t always see. If you are looking in the mirror to see changes, often times you won’t see them. Try taking weekly progress pictures instead. Are your clothes fitting differently? Are you physically FEELING better? Or do you feel worse than before you started the challenge? Physical changes can take time, but the sign that physical changes are on the horizon often start with how you’re actually feeling 😃
The shoulder press video mentions to put the bench almost all the way up just at a 10% decline. This may be silly but am I supposed to lay back on that 10% decline? I kind of feel like I should be sitting up tall and straight. But maybe that would be a totally different exercise. Should I be leaving back on my bench that is slightly declined on this exercise?
Yep! It just hits your shoulders from a different angle 💪😉
Hello
what is the best free macro tracker?
any advise for travel/vacation?I personally use My Fitness Pal and have for the last 11 yrs. I haven’t tried anything else, so I can’t tell you what is the “best” as I think this is personal preference.
My best advice for traveling is to try to stick to the meal plan as closely as possible, even when eating out. It IS doable, you just have to be intentional and diligent (lean proteins, healthy starchy carbs & veggies, avoid sauces, too much bread/chips and no fried foods). I hope this helps! ☺️
Can I do workout 3 & 4 on same day? My goal is to finish my workouts on Saturday, but I got behind this week. Can I do back & glutes on same day?
Hi Cindy! You can try, but it is not ideal to do that and not recommended for this challenge. Give it a try and see how well you body tolerates it, then you can determine if it’s a good idea to keep doing it or not 😉
Good morning! I’m wondering what you think about David’s protein bars. I usually have this as a post-workout or lunch replacement.
Protein bars are not recommended as part of this challenge.

I hope that I can piggyback off of this. Meal plan 2 option 2. It says 50g of spinach. In parentheses it say (1/2V) does that mean only eat half of what the exchange list says?
That is correct.
Hi, the recipe says the serving size is 4. So, do 4 of the boats equal 1 serving?
No, it means the recipe makes four servings.
Good morning,
I fall into meal plan 2, however I’m hungry a lot during the day and especially at night after my last meal around 7:30. I’ve been waking each morning with headaches and feeling very tired throughout the day. I’ve tried adding a small snack of 1 serving greek yogurt with 1 serving ground flax for the fiber to help however that doesn’t seem to be enough. The only day I didn’t experience this was on Wednesday, my rest day. I haven’t worked out yet today, Friday, and was hungry within 30 minutes after eating breakfast.
Should I go up to meal plan 3?
Thank you!Yes, all those are signs you might be under eating.
Thank you. I ended up doing 10 lunges on each leg, 10 calve raises, 8 lunges etc down to 2 then rested for one complete set. Did this for 3 sets for 90 lunges each leg total
It’s supposed to be 5 sets of the superset as follows:
Set one is 10 reps for each exercise
Set two is eight reps for each exercise
Set three is six reps for each exercise
Set four is four reps for each exercise
Set five is two reps for each exerciseCool! Thanks so much for the quick response
Anytime girl! 😉
Can you please explain the finisher on Fridays glute workout? States 3 sets but if reps decrease it would be 5 sets. Or do we take a small rest and decrease within each set?
That is confusing, let me reach out to Nicole for clarification & get back to you.
