Morning.
I was reviewing the workouts for today and noticed in the warm up, only three exercises are listed in the ebook and Nicole did four. Is there an updated ebook?
Have a great Friday all. 🙂
There is not an updated ebook with this correction, as this is the first we’ve been informed of an inconsistency. In the meantime, just follow along with what Nicole does in the video and I will send the correction to the team. Thanks for the catch, Happy Friday 🙂
I want to make this but I am out of the chocolate truffle and it isn’t coming back during this challenge I don’t believe. What does 1 scoop equate to in another yucky brand?
If you look at the food exchange list, 1 scoop of nPower Isolate is roughly 25g of protein, so the measurement of any other brand of protein should equal roughly 25g (that would be the equivalent exchange).
Is there a code to order Npower supplements for this challenge?

Hi, today for the single arm snatch to reverse lunge. That was a tough one. Why is it that I can do the snatch part, but the reverse lunge while holding my arm up in the air is sooooo difficult? I felt like I could barely do a lunge at all. Loved attempting it. My knee didnt want to go down barely at all. Is it just because its a new move for me? Thanks!!
Most definitely because it’s a new move, it requires stabilization in a different way than you’re probably used to, the unilateral movement (single arm/leg) as well as constant core activation. Just like with anything keep at it, you’ll get better at it 😊
Also the HIP TFL & Inner Thigh/Adductor/Groin videos are the same.
ThanksThese links should be correct now.
I’ve tried all my local stores with no luck. My question was specifically for the granola that was included in the parfait recipe, not the parfait itself.
I’ve seen “no fat added” but not a true low-fat version on Amazon.The fat content in the granola for that recipe is 12g per serving, so it’s not low fat either.
If you type in “low fat granola” in the Amazon search bar, there are plenty of truly low fat options. Here is just one of many options: https://a.co/d/c9FB15K
I’m having a hard time finding low fat granola. I saw the Honey Nut Granola Parfait recipe on the NPower Nutrition page. Does that granola fit the bill? It looks wonderful
The entire recipe is not a replacement for granola, if that is what you are asking? I am not sure what you are asking. That recipe is not part of the current challenge. If you are savvy in counting calories and macros and calculating in a food journaling app such as My Fitness Pal, you can incorporate that recipe into your meal plan but will have to recalculate all your other meals around that recipe since it is not the exact calories and macros of the meals in the current challenge.
For low fat granola, have you tried multiple grocery stores or looking on Amazon? I believe Walmart or any local grocery store should ecru a low fat granola option.
Are there a list of “free” seasonings/condiments? I’d really like to season my salmon with other than s&p and garlic, like liquid aminos? Would that be considered free, or not?
You can find a list of optional condiments on page 55 of the ebook.
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]
