Frequently Asked Questions
I AM LOOKING FOR A MEAL PLAN. DOES THIS CHALLENGE PROVIDE ONE?
We do not provide a meal plan in this challenge. We provide you with a calorie budget as well as a macronutrient budget that you can tailor to your specific dietary needs.
I DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO A GYM. IS THERE A PROGRAM OPTION FOR ME TO DO AT HOME?
Yes! Both of our beginner and intermediate plans offer at 'limited equipment' home alternates.
WHAT EQUIPMENT IS NEEDED FOR THIS COURSE?
If you are working out from home or a gym that offers limited equipment, you will need the following: a set of dumbbells, long and short resistance bands, and a Swiss ball. If you are working out at a gym, we provide exercises that also will use a leg press, leg extension, leg curl, back extension, and a barbell.
I AM LOOKING FOR AN ACCELERATED WEIGHT LOSS COURSE. IS THIS THE RIGHT CHALLENGE FOR ME?
No, this is not a fast paced weight loss program. The calorie budget we provide is a ball park (closest estimate that we can give you with the information we have) and the energy (calorie) deficit is modestly aimed at losing ½ -1 lb per week over 6 weeks (weight loss is not a guarantee). We will have detailed information about this on the onboarding call. If you feel like your number is too low OR if you do more than one hour of the planned exercise that we give you, you will need to eat a bit more. The calorie budget has already been accounted for with the exercise in the challenge. If you are looking for a lot of education around nutrition, you would want to join our Fat Loss Happens or Fat Loss Education groups.
HOW LONG DO I HAVE ACCESS TO THIS COURSE?
You will get lifetime* access to it. (*Lifetime of the Hailey Happens Fitness App).
HOW LONG ARE THE WORKOUTS?
We provide both ~60-minute STANDARD length and ~30-min EXPRESS length strength workouts and 30-60 min cardio workouts.
HOW MANY DAYS A WEEK IS THIS PROGRAM?
Being that the goal for most women joining the six-week challenge is modest amount of fat loss , we have programmed six days a week of workouts. This will result in an energy expenditure that will produce fat loss. Each week has 3 strength training days and 3 cardio days (mix of low intensity and high intensity cardio).
IS THIS MAX STRENGTH HEAVY LIFTING?
No, this isn’t. The goal of this program is fat loss, therefore, we have to be in an energy deficit which requires us to either move more or eat less. Research shows that higher volume programs burn more calories and since the goal is to maintain muscle and lose fat, this is the best approach. If you are looking for heavy lifting, you can check out my Power, Strong, or Physique Happens Programs.
ARE THERE EXPERT LED ZOOMS?
Yes! We have special guest experts joining us for the Zooms and you will have the opportunity to submit your questions in advance for our guests.
HOW OFTEN DOES THE PROGRAMMING CHANGE?
The workout program changes to new programming every two weeks to provide the body 2 weeks to adapt and move on to new programming during the six weeks. We don’t rotate weekly as we want to give the body a chance to get enough out of the program before we move on. That said, we provide you a tutorial on how to 'extend' each program so you can stretch the challenge to 9 or even 12 weeks.
HOW ARE THE WORKOUTS PROVIDED?
All of the workout information and exercises will all be housed in the Hailey Happens Fitness app. CLICK HERE to download from the App Store or CLICK HERE to download from Google Play.
I HAVE A HISTORY OF DISORDERED EATING, IS THIS IS A GOOD OPTION FOR ME?
No, I wouldn’t recommend this challenge if you have struggled with disordered eating.
I HAVE INJURIES, ARE THERE MODIFICATIONS?
Unfortunately, we cannot have alternates for every injury, but you can tailor the program to work for you. If you have not been cleared by a medical physician for challenging exercise, you should not participate in this program.
I DO NOT HAVE FACEBOOK. WILL I MISS OUT IF I DON’T?
While the online accountability group will take place on Facebook, you are not required to join the Facebook group. All of the important information will be given to you in the group tab of the app. We will send out a link to join the Facebook group a few days prior to the challenge starting.
DO I HAVE TO MEASURE AND TRACK MY FOOD?
No. You can make this challenge what you need it to be. Some will track, others won’t. This should be fun! While what gets measured, gets managed, you are not required to measure and track your food.
