Hello
Just found out I have to go away for work for two days. That means no way I can do my Saturday workout. Should I do Friday and Saturday on one day ??If you want to do that, you can.
Is it ok to switch days 4 and 5 if I know I won’t have access to weights tomorrow?
Yep, you can switch days 4 & 5 🙂
Can we have cauliflower crust and I so, what macro would it be? Sc?
If you decide to incorporate foods not listed in the challenge meal plan, recipes or food exchange list then you can certainly do that but it is up to you to figure out what the macros should be and where to put it in the foods list. You can do this by plugging the food you’d like to incorporate into a food app such as My Fitness Pal and working the macros into your meal plan goals.

What is your question?
Thanks Naomi – and you rock for keeping up with all of us on the forum!! We all appreciate the support.
Aweeee, you are so sweet! We’re here to help any way we can throughout the challenge – cheering you on! 😉
Hey guys! Here is the verdict:
The first one is a mistake, that should be a superset not a triset and remove the calf exercise.
Is there a way to fit the vegan brownie bites into the non vegan meal plan 3?
I am not sure, but if you want to try fitting it into your calories and macros then you can use a food journaling app such as My Fitness Pal to make sure any changes you make to your meal plans add up to your goal calories and macros 😉
Hi all,
On day 4 – landmine staggered stance stiff legged deadlift – 3×10 each leg?
Thank youYep, any time there are single (unilateral) exercises throughout this challenge, it will be the reps for each side 🙂
Has anyone tried meal one, option 2 (meal plan 3) with the cottage cheese, Ezekiel bread, guacamole and sesame seeds?
It says 282g .. which is more than half my 453g container. Is this accurate?
Are you supposed to put it on the Ezekiel bread or eat it separately? If so, it’s so much it pours off.
Sorry if this is stupid.You can eat any of the meals however you want to, it all goes down the hatch but in what order and what manner is totally up to you and personal preference 😉
Hi Thursday says HIIT cardio and off? Does this mean you can take it as a day off because the cardio is optional or does it mean no weight training?
It is “off” of weight training but still scheduled for cardio 😉
I did the HIIT workout on the treadmill, became intense at the end, but the Treadmill interval I literally had to hold on at points because my heartbeat felt it was getting to high, need to get a new heart rate monitor, mine broke. Read hiit options for today, don’t seem as intense.
What is your question?
Naomi it’s showing twice for the At Home Full Equipment training block 1:Weeks 1-3.
Yes, I know. It’s not showing twice in the other two versions of the workout which makes me think it is an error is what I’m saying. I’m waiting to hear back from Nicole 👍
I’m a teacher, mom of a young son, and a dancer – Needless to say, I’m super busy! I don’t always have time to do the cardio sessions. If I don’t do cardio, should I be adjusting my calorie intake at all?
TIA!
I wouldn’t recommend trying to adjust calories if you don’t do cardio, no. Juts do the best you can to follow the program as closely as you are able to 🙂
Is there an alternate exercise for the staggered landmine stiff leg dead lift? My gym does not have that pc of equipment
You can do staggered dumbbell stiff leg deadlift instead. In the future, if your gym doesn’t have a piece of equipment, you can do the at-home version of that exercise. You can swap back and forth between workouts for equivalent, alternate exercises.
No issues, but no way I can do a push-up. I have no strength in my arms. I really want to do them but I can’t for the life of me do them.
OK then the above push-up modifications should help you get stronger to eventually do a regular push-up 😉
I’m finding I’m not as full on this one as the last one. I think it’s my body adapting to the great food and burning it and working out harder! I’m drinking more water to help.
Correct, your body is adapting from the lower calories of the last phase of the previous challenge. Juts give it about a week or two and things should level out 😉
I’m seeing the same thing, page 34 for Day 5, At Home Workout (Full Equipment). DB Calf raises listed in first tri-set then in last superset on the page. I’ll plan to follow as is unless this is incorrect. Thanks.
I will send a message out to Nicole for confirmation on this, I don’t see calf raises listed twice in the Gym Workout or At-Home Dumbbell Only equivalents of Day 5. I’ll get back to you ladies ASAP as soon as I hear back 🙂
Hi i am just wondering what brand of turkey bacon to use. I bought the Sams brand and it has 12 grams of fat per 4 slices. I feel like if i use it for a lean protein i would be doubling up on the fat. I bought it specifically to go with whe egg bites. If i had it with that particular meal i would have 22 grams of fat instead if the intended 10.
You could either try to find a leaner turkey bacon (butterball or Jenny-o maybe?) or just eat the amount that would equal about 10g of fat, so you would eat 4 slices to equal 12g of fat, does that make sense?
Day 5 of the at home full equipment workout has standing calf raises listed twice. At the beginning in a tri-set and at the end in a superset. Is this correct?
I am looking at page 39, the Day 5 At Home Full Equipment workout, and am not seeing calf raises listed twice. What page number are you looking at?
The ebook that opens each time I click on the link has week 1 day 5 on page 36, not 39 and it is still showing twice. You are looking at training block 2. I was typing on my phone and missed adding week 1 day 5.
Try this link, and scroll to page 34 (Training Block , weeks 1-3, Day 5, I was looking at a proviso version of the PDF but this is the most updated version): https://nicolewilkins.com/images/2023/03/2023_40DAYBUNSGUNS_eBook_032623_links-1.pdf
Was wondering if I could combine Wednesdays HITT Cardio with a leg day? That way I would have 2 full days off each week. That would work better with my schedule if possible.
Whatever works best with your schedule is fine to do 🙂

What does FST 7 stand for. We do 7 sets each leg 3 times? I am very confused but I was also totally exhausted by the end. thank you
TraciIf you look on page 16 of the ebook, you will see an explanation of all the intensity techniques there 😉
Hi,
Is there another exercise I can do in the place of push-ups?
You can do “wall push-ups” (push-ups off the wall to minimize pressure/stress on upper body) or just a plank-hold on your hands instead of elbows, so you would be in the first/starting position of a push-up and just hold it for about 30-45 seconds. What issues are you experiencing that you need an alternate exercise?
For the Glute Cabe Kickback FST-7 do we complte 7 sets on the same leg before switching to the alternate leg?
Thank you!Correct 😉
Is there an alternative exercise for this one..
You can just do body weight kick backs, one-legged leg presses, or step ups in place of the glute kick back.
