Hey there- we actually have quite a wide range of ages and backgrounds and athletic abilities in this challenge 😉
Target heart rate calculations are a rough estimate. Use your rating of perceived exertion on a scale of 1-10. During HIIT on your high intervals you should be at a 10. The stronger your heart is, the harder it will be to get to 200.
Don’t worry too much about the actual number per-se (the set range is a general guideline) but pay attention to how you feel – your PRE – as mentioned above, your perceived rate of exertion.
Have a great rest of your workouts this week! Great job!! 🙂
Yes, absolutely! This will help you get stringer for sure! You can use whichever modifications will help you be able to do the sets/reps but also be challenging at the same time… but not too challenging that you can’t get through them 😉
Way to go, keep up the hard work and have a great rest of your workouts this week!
Hey there! WOW, how do you do it?? Hats off to you girl! Just try spreading your meals out a little further, maybe by 20-30 min further apart and see if that helps any. The first week is an adjustment of tweaking, fie-tuning and figuring out what works best for your life. Good luck! Please keep us posted! 😀
LOL! Great job!! Just do you best 😉 Your body will adjust to the workouts and you won’t always be this sore. That just means you’re doing right!!
Hey there- if this happens in the future, definitely eat all of your meals even if it is 10:30-11pm. Try to plan out the day better, but don’t worry too much over the first few days of figuring things out 😉 It’s an adjustment and you’ll get the hang of it!
Hey there- it should be fine, but make sure you weight out the steak and log it into My Fitness Pal to see if the numbers match up to the ground bison. You may need to use a different portion size since ground vs. whole steak might be different in density. For example: 4oz of ground bison may be equal to a different number of ounces if it is a whole steak. You’ll need to check and see 😉
Hey there- unsweetened flax milk or coconut milk should be fine as a substitute. I believe they are within 2-3g of fat of the almond/cashew milk. (per 8 oz. almond milk is 2.5g fat, flax milk is like 2.5g fat and coconut milk is 4.5g fat)
I just looked it all up in My Fitness Pal, so as Maureen said, if you aren’t sure if a food swap is comparable please look at My Fitness Pal and check to see if the calories, fats. proteins and carbs are all within the same ranges (within 10-15 calories and about 5g of the macro).
Good luck!
Hey there- one serving is as it is listed prepared in the recipe (the recipe makes 1 serving). If you made a big batch, you’ll just have to weight out 4oz. of chicken and the vegetables as listed in the recipe.
You can use any of the time intervals and levels outlined in any of the workouts and apply them to that machine, does that make sense? Do whatever the time and increase or decrease in level/intensity calls for in the workout, just go by that.
Try a different HIIT workout and you can always try to increase the speed or incline for more intensity. A lot of machines are different so the levels might be different on your machine than the one used to create the workouts. Just find a level that gets your HR up, you don’t have to stick to the levels written (just the structure of the intervals in the workouts) 🙂
Hey there- this is only Day 2 of the challenge, your body is adjusting to everything. Just stick with it and give your body some time to adjust. Don’t worry about what is going on from one day to the next and stick with the entire program as-is for 35 days 😉
Hi there- yes, just add water and prepare the oatmeal as directed with water. You should use just plain oatmeal and if you’d like to add cinnamon (just cinnamon, no sugar) and vanilla extract you can do that 😉
Anything you add to oatmeal that has calories, fat, protein, carbs or sugar will throw off your totals for the day.
Hey there- if you are OVER 5″4 which you are since you are 5″4.5 then you will stick with Meal Plan 2.
Yep, your eating schedule looks fine 🙂 You need to give your body time to adjust to the workouts and meal plans. Everything will even out 😉
Keep up the great work! 😀
Please be patient guys. It’s three hours earlier on the West Coast which is where our tech support is. I’m on the East Coast and it’s almost 9am here, which means it’s almost 6am in California.
As soon as someone is able to look at the emails regarding this issue, it will be addressed. Thank you for being patient while this is fixed.
My suggestion is to try out the meal plan recommended for this challenge. If you personally feel your body is not responding the way you want to (everyone’s body is different, different metabolism, starting from a different point in their fitness journey, etc) and you know that you would do better on increased calories and want to go up a meal plan, that is up to you and you can choose to do that if you feel that is the right decision for you personally.
Hey there- it’s just two sets of 15 reps each: https://nicolewilkins.com/images/2018/03/2018_35DAYMUSCLEUP_TrainingChart-01-2.jpg
Hey guys- we can’t fix or address technical issues here on the forums 😛 We can hep you with the specifics of the challenge program: nutrition, workouts, etc.
Please email your technical issues to: [email protected] so someone can help you 🙂
