Hi JoAnn- here is the link for the Chicago Camp 🙂 https://npowerfitnesscamps.com/product/chicago-il-2019/
Hey there- a fat burner is not mandatory to take, it is just optional. Green tea will work great. I can’t recommend any specific brands, but there are a lot of options for “natural” fat-burners that have minimal ingredients. A mug of green tea before your workout would be fine. You can also go to your local vitamin/supplement store and explain what you are looking for. A sales person should be able to assist you in a natural fat-burner that won’t negatively impact thyroid meds.
I hope this helps, good luck! 🙂
Hi Nikita- the best thing to do is stick to the meal plans as they are laid out. When it comes to both working out and nutrition, you really can’t rely on motivation or excitement to keep you on course. I am rarely motivated to either workout or stick to my meal plans. But it is so important to be determined come what may to stick to your goals, ESPECIALLY when you don’t feel like it.
You are SO CLOSE to finishing this. Stay on target, keep your eye on the prize, stay disciplined and make your goals the biggest priority.
But if it is between going off plan and buying Mega Fit Mels equivalent to Nicole’s calories and macros, that would definitely be your second best option. I hope this helps! Good luck and stay strong! YOu’ve got this!!!
Hi there- I totally understand, I have that same issue when doing some movements but not others. If you didn’t have any problems with another cardio acceleration workout you’ve done previously, you can substitute that one instead.
Good luck with the rest of the challenge! 🙂

Keep pushing hard ladies, and keep reaching for higher and higher goals! 🙂
Hey there- very cool, I live in Columbia, SC, not too far from Charleston. I hope you have a great trip!
As far as your meals go, the rest rout for you would be to log all your meals in MFP – if you aren’t already – and stay as close to the macros for the meal plan in the challenge as possible, while eating as healthy, nourishing foods as possible. You should have access to grocery stores, so for carbs you can get things like: oat meal packets, rice cakes, 100 calorie English Muffins, etc. Proteins: hard-boiled eggs, protein powder, you can get pre-cooked chicken in the freezer section or if/when you eat out, you can get plain boneless, skinless chicken breasts, tilapia, etc.; plain non-fat Greek yogurt. Fats: nut butter packets, coconut or olive oil packets, hard-boiled eggs w/ the yolks (protein & fats); to-go packets of guacamole or avocado spread.
Just make sure you have your calories and macros set up in MFP that match your macros in the challenge and stick as close to them as possible, and try to stick to the foods on the meal plan as much as you are able to.
I hope this helps, enjoy your trip!!
Hi Teresa- you can use weights if you’d like, but they are plenty challenging without any extra weight 😉
Hey there! That is a great question! Nicole can go over what to do after the challenge in great detail on her Live Q&A she does – typically on Sundays, depending on her travel. If you aren’t a part of her private facebook community where she has her live Q&As and answers specific questions in detail, please join us here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/NWFitCommunity/
Way to think ahead, and good luck with the rest of the challenge! 🙂
Hey there- For the meal plans, as long as you are within 5-10 grams of the target grams, you are on target. This may end up causing your calories to be above or below the target calories. Unfortunately, not all foods are created equal so some brands are different than others, and there are also slight inconsistencies in MFP with the entires.
Just keep following the meal plans as Nicole has them laid out and you’re good! Keep it up, and good luck with the rest of the challenge 😀
Hey there- it may not be 60 Days, there are different types of challenges throughout the year. Some have been as short as 30 days while others have been as long as 12 weeks; some focus on specific body parts, such as the 2017 Buns & Guns Challenge and the Summer Abs Challenge; while others focus on Muscle Building or Fat Loss/Shredding.
Late March is the tentative time when he next Challenge will launch, but no other details (type of challenge or duration) have been released yet … so stay tuned!! It’s like Christmas, lol!! 😉
Hey there- it will stay the same until the end of the challenge. All of the program info is posted 😉
I think with everything you described, what you are experiencing is your body adjusting to Phase 2 of the program. Definitely don’t lower your calories, that will most likely only make you more light-headed and dizzy.
Just keep going and following the program as it is laid out. Your body should adjust soon. Great job, guys, keep it up!!
Hey there- we’d be happy to help you! Just email your inquiry to: [email protected]

Hi Brigitte- no post-workout meal after cardio only, so you will have it at the end of the day 🙂
Hey there- I think the best way to get an accurate measurement would be to weigh the entire salad mixture once you’ve completed the recipe. Take the total number of the egg salad weight in grams and divide it by 4. That number is the amount of grams per serving in your recipe and that number is the amount of grams per one serving.
Follow the serving size for your meal plan 😉 I hope this helps!
Hi Leanne- as long as you’re following the meals and plan as Nicole has it laid out and adhere to what she explains in the Nutrition Section of the program, you are on target to hit your calorie and macro goals for the day 🙂
Good luck in Phase 2!
Hey there- you can eat it as your last meal as long as it’s not a rest day. On rest day, you’ll eat the post-workout meal as your last meal 😉
Hey Angele- do all reps on one side, then switch to the other side 😉
Good luck in Phase 2!
Hey there- as long as you follow the directions on the PDF, you are doing it correctly 🙂
You should be doing 5 weight/5 cardio exercises in each round, and there are 5 rounds total. So set your timer for 25 rounds (which includes all weight and cardio rounds total) and set your timer intervals.
Great job, that is an intense workout!!
Hi Melanie- if you need to lightly place your finger tips on something for balance, that is no problem at all. It’s better to do that, in my opinion, and get through the exercise without having to stop every five seconds to catch your balance 😉
So confused….am i doing all 5 rounds 5 times each at 30 sec per exercise plus 5 sec for switching? Or all 5 rounds just 1 times each at 30 sec per exercise plus 5 sec for switching??
Is my timer set correctly??
Hey Roe- you are doing ONE set of EACH round, and there are 5 rounds 😉 https://176p3x1o5f5d19fpdxw83g5v-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/images/2018/12/2019_60DAYTC_At-Home_TrainingPh2-05.jpg
Set your Interval Timer to 45sec (weights)/45sec (cardio). Ideally you’re doing the weights and cardio for 40 sec each and giving yourself the extra 5 seconds between to switch from one exercise to the next.
I hope this makes sense! 🙂
My interval timer looks like yours Roberta. One of the last challenges I did, this type of workout was followed by a post workout meal because we’re lifting weights.
What I’d like to know is the rest period between each set.
Thanks NW Team
There really is no rets period between sets, unless you feel you absolutely need to. But the idea is to set your Interval Timer to 25 rounds and just keep going throughout the whole workout if you are able to: https://176p3x1o5f5d19fpdxw83g5v-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/images/2018/12/2019_60DAYTC_At-Home_TrainingPh2-05.jpg
Good luck!!
Is the cardio acceleration workout considered to be the weights plus the cardio for the day & you follow it with the post workout meal? OR is this a combo workout followed by a separate addition of cardio followed by the post workout meal?
Cardio Acceleration is both weights and cardio, so no extra cardio beyond this workout and yes to a post-workout shake after 🙂
Hey there- can you email your issues and specific videos you are having problems accessing to our tech support at: [email protected]
They can help you out with any technical issues.
If at this point in the challenge you feel like you want to shed body fat at a quicker pace, then you can do the extra cardio, or if you feel like your body isn’t responding as quickly as you’d like, then I would do the extra cardio.
If you feel fatigued, sore, worn out, low energy, not recovering well, etc., then you probably need to take the optional cardio as a rest day instead of doing extra cardio.
If you feel you are progressing at a rate you are happy with, and you are continuing to see results, or if you feel you are losing too much weight too quickly, then you may not want to do the extra cardio.
Does this help, or is there another factor you are thinking of that I haven’t mentioned?
