ModeratorOk, gotcha. So if you look at the PDF document, you will see a column for:
1. EXERCISE (push press)
2. SETS (5 sets on this particular exercise)
3. REPS (2×15-20 warm-up / 3×6-10)What all of this means is that you will do a TOTAL of 5 sets. The first 2 sets will be warm-up sets and you will do 15-20 reps on the first two warm-up sets, then for the last 3 sets (working sets) you will do between 6-10 reps.
Does this make sense?

ModeratorHi Kimberly- if you choose to follow a diet not outlined in the program for this challenge, that is completely up to you. I can’t advise any swaps or deviations from what Nicole has laid out in the program, as that is getting more into personalizing the meals specifically for you 😉
Naomi
ModeratorHi Tammy- can you tell me which workout/exercise you are looking at?
Naomi
ModeratorI can’t access certain video demos. It directs me to members only page. How can I access?
Can you please email the specific videos you aren’t able to access to: [email protected] and they can help you there? Thank you.
Naomi
ModeratorHey there, just curious on the pros of the incline lay raise. How does it engage muscles differently?
Hey there- I am sorry, I don’t understand your question. Can you rephrase it please?
Naomi
ModeratorHey there- you can sprinkle it over everything or mix it in with the black beans or whatever you come up with 🙂
Naomi
ModeratorHi there- Nicole explains this in detail in the cardio section here: https://nicolewilkins.com/challenge/40-day-summer-shred-challenge-2019/?section=cardio
You can either split up your cardio and weights, or do cardio after your weight-training session.
Naomi
ModeratorHey there- I would count your hockey and cycling toward the cardio in this challenge 🙂
Naomi
ModeratorHey there- no, it’s nt a problem. This is a general range and everyone is different. Good luck with the challenge 🙂
Naomi
ModeratorHey there- it means that doing cardio for that day is optional 🙂
Naomi
Moderator24g is the correct amount per serving. The serving size is on the back of the nutrition label 😉
Naomi
ModeratorYou don’t have to use salt-free butter, no.
Naomi
ModeratorOh, I gotcha! Yes, that is correct, no English Muffin for WMP3. Sorry for the confusion! 🙂

ModeratorScroll down here https://nicolewilkins.com/challenge/40-day-summer-shred-challenge-2019/?section=nutrition-phase-1 and look at all of the PDFS for the Neal plans. Which meal plan are you following?
Naomi
ModeratorMeal 1, Option 1, first food item.
Naomi
ModeratorHey there- If the calories and other macros are all in-line, I wouldn’t worry to much about the 20g of carbs. MFP can be a little off at times, or the brand of foods you’re using might be slightly different than a brand that Nicole used for her calculations. As long as you follow the meal plan as it is laid out, you should be good! 🙂
Naomi
ModeratorHey there- I would choose a different meal instead, the macros in macadamias are completely different than other nuts so they aren’t an even swap.
You could also order on-line (amazon.com or an online health store) and just wait for the macadamias to be delivered before you eat that meal.
Naomi
ModeratorHey there- vegetables are not unlimited, they add calories and macros so they are not a “free food.” I recommend following the meal plan exactly as it is laid out for best results.
Good luck with the challenge!
Naomi
ModeratorHi Joan- we recommend that you stick to the recipes and meal plans as Nicole has them in the documents, but if you decide to deviate from the program that is totally up to you. There is a difference in the callers and macros in vegan vs. non-vegan products so if you decide to deviate from the meals with different versions, it may throw your calories and macros off.
I hope this helps, good luck with the challenge!
Naomi
ModeratorHey there- you can choose either Original White or Whole Wheat/Multigrain, whichever you prefer 🙂
Naomi
ModeratorHey there- you can either choose a different meal that doesn’t contain dairy or choose a lactose-free yogurt, cream cheese and cottage cheese. I believe there are lactose-free versions of almost anything these days lol. I hope this helps, good luck with the challenge! 🙂
Naomi
ModeratorHi Jessica- you can do either one, but I personally always like to go by grams 🙂
Naomi
ModeratorWhich protein powder are you using?
Naomi
ModeratorThe link for Barbell Curtsey Lunge just takes me back to challenge home page.
Please email [email protected] with any video access issues you are having, thank you! 🙂
Naomi
ModeratorHi Jessica- you can do V-ups or V-ups with an exercise ball instead 🙂
