Also the HIP TFL & Inner Thigh/Adductor/Groin videos are the same.
ThanksI will let the team know so they can get this corrected, thank you!
It doesn’t look like it. I wish there was. I loved having it already made for us. Thinking about how to make my own.
There is not a workout tracker with this particular challenge, they are not included in all the challenges. Every challenge is different.
Since I’ve leaned out and am now at a healthy weight from doing 100 % on the LevelUp challenge, do you think this Holiday challenge will help define and tighten without dropping more weight? I don’t want to lose anymore weight.
Yes, it should help you with that. Though it depends on how your body responds to the program. If you find you are losing or leaning out more, then just go up a meal plan.
On meal 4, I noticed that the salmon is listed as a lean protein. Shouldn’t it be a fatty protein so I can exchange it with another item if I don’t want to eat salmon?
Salmon should be listed as a fatty protein, yes. I will let the team know of the need for correction.
Why cant I see the videos anymore?????
We coaches are not tech savvy in the forums, but we can answer your questions about the content of the challenge. For technical issues, please email [email protected]
If results are due November 11th at 9pm PST, does that mean that for EST I have until 12am tonight or 11:59pm tomorrow the 11th? Just checking so I don’t screw this up because I wasn’t going to have a chance to take photos until tomorrow but now I realize I may need to make it work somehow tonight. Thanks!
Pacific Standard Time is 3 hours earlier than Easter Standard Time, which means the deadline is Tuesday, November 11th, 9pm PST/12 (midnight) EST.
I was just wondering if there is a way to look on my account, to see the before photos that I submitted. I have a tendency to delete photos on my phone due to storage.
You can email [email protected] and ask there 🙂
Please help me.
I am 5.5 ft tall 115 pounds I followed the challenge perfectly. Food and workouts on point. I weighed all my food and followed the exchange list. I have seen some results however I would have liked to gain more muscle. I did progressive overload and definitely increased weight. I followed meal plan 2 and I am wondering if I need to follow a different meal plan for more calories and protein to gain more muscle.
I am going to restart because I did all home workouts now I’m going to switch and do all the gym workouts. I absolutely loved all of the videos for the home workouts. I wish she could incorporate those for the gym workouts as well in upcoming challenges.That is fantastic that you saw results! If you saw results and want to gain more muscle, then I would just do exactly what you did for longer. If you try to increase your nutrition then you may start to gain more body fat than muscle, so from the sounds of it you were doing everything right to gain good quality lean muscle and gain strength but not gain body fat. You can try to move up to meal plan 2, but if you find you are gaining more body fat than muscle, then just go back down to meal plan 1 and give it more time. Muscle is built over time 😉
GREAT JOB!!
Does anyone have (and can share) their copy of the Egg White Feta Frittata recipe from a previous challenge (around 2020 or 2021?) I can not find my copy and it is an amazing recipe!! Thank you in advance!
You can email [email protected] and they can send you a copy of any previous challenges you’ve purchased.
I am working out weekdays only M-F. That leaves only one day between lower days (workouts 3 Wednesday & 5 Friday). I looked at switching workouts 2 and 3 but that would mean some of back to back shoulders. Which way would be better, what do you recommend please?
I would not switch the order of the workouts. This is the last week of the challenge, unless you started late, but have you been doing this the whole challenge so far? With only one week to go, I would just keep doing it the way you’ve been doing it throughout the duration of the challenge.
I’ve been thinking about my plan for after this challenge ends, and I think I want to repeat the 2021 Build challenge. I was glancing through the ebook, and cardio calls for 3 HIIT sessions per week during that program. The cardio page in the Build challenge states that HIIT will help to preserve the muscles being built. However, it seems like in more recent challenges Nicole has shifted from HIIT to less intense cardio. So I’m wondering if to get best results, should I follow the HIIT cardio recommendations or should I follow the recent shift and stick to MISS/LISS cardio? I’m kind of thinking it’s not super important and the whole idea is to just do some form of cardio and get my body moving, but any advice would be appreciated! Thank you!!
Hey there- this is such an individual factor, and it really depends on how your body responds to what. Give it a try and see how it feels and see how your body responds, then if you need to or want to make adjustments based on how your body is or isn’t responding based on what your goals are. Bets of luck 🙂
Any idea when the NW collagen will be back in stock?
We do not have a date yet. The collagen product labels are at the warehouse and we are in line for production, but the warehouse can’t give us a timeline yet because of other projects that are ahead of ours in the production line.
An email will be sent out, as well as announcements on social media when it is back in stock. You can email [email protected] in the future requesting further updates.
Hi there! I’m checking in to see where I’m going wrong. I measured myself this morning and I have lost around 8 inches total, but I have not lost 1 pound in the past three weeks. Any ideas on where I’m going wrong or what I can do for the pounds to come ?
If you have lost inches, and your clothes are fitting better, but the number on the scale isn’t changing, then you are both gaining muscle and losing fat simultaneously. If you gain 3lbs of muscle and lose 3lbs of fat, the scale will show zero weight loss, but you are actually drastically changing your body composition. KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK!! 😀
Thanks Naomi! I’m also in California so I didn’t expect an answer for a bit. 🙃
The video for this week is up 🙂
Curious if there is a week 4 level up video? I went to the videos this morning and only see the first 3.
Thanks!I only see three videos as well, I just sent a message to Nicole. She is on Pacific Time, so it is 6:30a.m. in California. I will reply as soon as I hear from her, hold tight 🙂
If I don’t have an incline bench, can I use an exercise ball?
Absolutely, it will put you in a similar position/angle 🙂
Can you tell me if there is sunflower oil in the Nicole Wilkins protein isolate powder? If so, is there any plans in the future to change the oil?
You can find a complete ingredient list on the protein nutrition label, here
As far as any plans to change the ingredients, you will have to email nPower Nutrition and ask someone there: [email protected]
Since there are products that are out of stock, will the challenge discount be extended when they come available? The only 2 products I am low or out of is the collagen and chocolate truffle protein powder. I have a pantry full of everything else and don’t need more at this time.
Hey there- no, the challenge discount is only good for the products during the challenge. The Chocolate Truffle won’t be available until after the new year, and the Collagen labels arrived at the manufacturer’s last week and we are currently waiting in line for production. We will have a HUGE Black Friday Sale coming up shortly after the challenge is over and will hopefully have Collagen in stock my then but it is in the hands of the manufacturer at this point, awaiting production.
I’ve been following meal plan #2 for my height. Since starting the challenge, I’ve been having issues with my glucose dropping and feeling ill due to a lack of calories. I’d like to switch to plan #3 which corresponds with my weight or somewhere in between to ensure my glucose stays level. Is that okay?
Yep, give it a try 🙂
hi, I am on women’s plan 1, I don’t know if on the women’s meal plan 1 (meal 2 option 1) is missing the rest of the meal, cause on the recipe sheet and the end says serve with roasted vegetables or a salad.
But on the women meal plan 1 just say the serving of meatballs, and the rest other plans has some (SC) and some (F)
Could somebody clarify this meal please?
Thanks in advance
Hey there- I am not sure why the recipe says serve with roasted vegetables or a side salad, but according to your meal plan (Meal Plan 1), you are suppose to have 1 serving of the meatballs (3 meatballs) which in the exchange list is a FP, V, ¼ SC, and you are also suppose to have 75g of wild rice, or ¾ SC. So total exchanges for your meal are: 1 FP (fatty protein); 1 V (vegetable) and 1.5 SC (starchy carb, when you add both 3/4 servings together).
I hope this clears up any confusion.
Going to make this today after church… Any suggestions on what type of apples work best? I am using egg whites from a carton, wondering if this will make a difference and make it runnier ?
And what did everyone pair it with- I know the meal plan calls for egg and egg whites but thinking of other easy to grab things I can use and prep for breakfast on the run. THANKS!Hey there- I don’t have any suggestions for which apples work best, I think this is all personal preference as some apples are sweeter and some are more bitter. As far as egg white from a carton, the are the same exact egg whites from an egg. Liquid egg whites in a carton, if you look at the ingredients, are literally liquid egg whites, the liquid white from the egg (everything but the yolk), so there should’t be a difference.
Did you ever get a response on this? I just emailed now about this coz I am using expired protein powder . TY
My recommendation for all nPower supplement-related questions is to email: [email protected]
is there any way i can swap something around to have rice with it?
Yes, any of the starchy carbs you can swap with rice. Use the food exchange list, and make sure you watch all the nutrition videos and read all the info about how to do food exchanges do you can accurately measure even swaps.
I struggle with straying from my meal plan between 4pm-6pm almost every night. My last 3 meals are at 1pm, 4pm and 7pm. I go to bed at 9pm. I already follow meal plan #2 and I’m 5’3.5″. I do stop and think about the choice I’m making before I do it. I know decision making is impaired when you’re tired/hungry, so how do I get around this “glitch”? BTW I can say “no” to anything before the witching hour of 4pm. Any advice would be appreciated! **I should note that I’m also responsible for feeding my 4 kids (2 teenage boys, an 11 y/o boy and 9 y/o girl) and hubby between 4pm and 7pm and our house is loaded with tempting snacks, which I keep out of sight in a closet/pantry.
You could shift your meals around in a way that you double up on a meal later in the day so you are not hungry enough to be tempted. So maybe cut one of your earlier meals in half, then eat 1.5 meals for either your meal at 4pm or 7pm. does that make sense?
I downloaded the app.
Today when I went to my app to work out.
The app did not work.
I downloaded it again to my home page.
When the challenge is over will the app continue to work or will it be a loss?
ThanksWe don’t have an app for any of the challenges, it’s an ebook that you access and download from the Nicole Wilkins web site (www/nicolewilkins.com, which we are communicating through right now because that’s also how you access the forums).
As long as you download the ebook (PDF) to your phone or computer you will have access to the challenge but you need to make sure you download the ebook and save it to your files. We take it down off the website about a week after the challenge is over.
