Hi Glenda- for this example, and any exercise in the future, ff there is an inconsistency between equipment used in the video and the written workout, go by the written workout. The video is just to show you HOW to do the exercise, but Nicole couldn’t do separate videos for all the exercises using different equipment (well, she COULD, but it’s just not a practical use f her time lol). So the video demo shows you how to conduct the spider curls exercise, she is just using dumbbells instead of a barbell. But use a barbell 😉
Hi Glenda- it is to help give more support if you aren’t able to do them unassisted. Or you could do as many as you can unassisted, then use the band once you aren’t able to do them unassisted. But to answer your question, the band is just for assistance to help you get through the indicated number of reps/sets 😉
Sandra- I’m not sure if you read the whole thread above, but I will just copy and paste my first comment:
You are performing 30 reps each set for 3 sets as follows:
Set 1:
Right Arm: 10 reps
Left Arm: 10 reps
Both arms together: 10 reps
All of the above is ONE set, so you will repeat all of the above two more times for a total of 90 reps at the end of your 3 sets 😉You are NOT alternating. Any time you see an exercise that shows “right” or “left” followed by an indicated number of reps, that means you do all of the reps on the right first, then all of the reps on the left. If you see the word “alternating” that means you alternate the reps between the right and the left arm, which is NOT what you will be doing here. I hope this helps clear up any confusion! 🙂

I think Maureen is referring to a cable machine where you can adjust the height on both sides in order to adjust to the desired angle.
I would recommend using the Quaker Rice Cakes. Quaker is about 35-40 calories per cake whereas Lundberg is about 65-70 calories per cake. The Quaker brand is lighter and fluffier, and the undergo ispacked much more densely so I think they cram a greater amount of dried rice per cake, which is why the calories are almost doubled.
Hey Janet- you can just eat the burger without the mushroom, if that works best for you. Don’t eat something you don’t like 😉
I would just get regular wraps Getting the high protein wrap will shoot you over on your protein macros.
Can you all please email the exercise video links that aren’t working to: [email protected]
Thanks! 🙂
Hey there- Nicole doesn’t really give a specified perimeter of exact grams of carbs or any other macros for the cheat meal, other than the guidelines and examples she gives in the description of the cheat meal here: Refuel/Refeed section
I would say just add 2-3 extra servings of what you normally would eat.
Hi Leanne- turkey bacon and turkey breasts are not really the same. It would be like saying a pork chop is equivalent to pork bacon, lol. I don’t know what to tell you other than what you already said: we are not recommending or suggesting any food swaps.
Hey there- If you really can’t stomach anything before early training sessions, then just work with what you can do. As long as your energy is good and you feel like your workouts are strong even without food in your system, it should be fine 🙂
Hi Bridgett- the recipe is in the actual meal plan, it’s all the ingredients listed underneath combined 😉
Hey ladies- truly, any will do. It is personal preference when it comes to this which is why Nicole didn’t specify. If you prefer an organic fruit spread, choose organic. If you prefer strawberry or grape, choose your flavor. You can do as simple and basic as Welch’s or Smucker’s, or you can go fancy, all-natural organic.
Correct. Though I would go by weight and not by inches of the banana bread. IN other words, weight the entire loaf after you’ve prepared it, then see how many grams the entire loaf weighs. Divide that number by 8 and whatever that number is, that’s how many grams each serving should be. For three servings, multiply the single serving times 3 and that’s how many grams 3 servings of the banana bread is.
Hey there- we are aware of the video links that aren’t working yet and will have them up and running very soon! 🙂
Hi Roe-
1) Stay with the same meal plan, as you should choose he meal plan based more on your height than on your weight. Whatever meal plan you chose to begin the challenge with (based on height), stay with that meal plan 😉
2) Yes, you can do that if that works better for you, definitely 🙂
Good luck! Let the shredding begin!!
