Nikki i just wanted to tel you that from the very beginning youre the main reason why i started going to the gym and lifting and stuff you and heidi are my biggest inspirations on youtube, and now that i lost some of m motivation due to life issues, watching you get back on your feet and never letting anything stop you is amazing to me, i love you so much.
Awe, Nikki. just watching you in your new place gives me the feels. Excitement, nervousness, all of it. We love you girl and hope you are happy and fulfilled!
You're my favorite fitness RUclipsr of all time! You're not stuck up or cocky. You're humble and really cool. Your videos always inspire me and help me get through workouts and just stressful days. Thankyou so much!
I love that the Kombucha bottles has "Do Not Shake" printed directly on the bottle yet the first thing you did was shake it. I too can't resist shaking a drink with sediment at the bottom. (Pro tip: resist shaking until you drink about half of it first. This gives the remaining liquid room to bubble up without spewing out all over. It's naturally effervescent, so if you shake it while it's full it just blows out the cap all over the place forever. Think of it like a bottle of coke.) LOVE IT!!!
I would have never started watching your videos if I hadn't needed some break up inspiration and subscribed from there. I've learned a lot already. Excited that you are keeping your head up and staying positive 💕
Your new hair it's so fresh looking. Love you girl! I hope you're doing better behind closed doors. Just remember you have alot of people that love you no matter what happens. xoxo
When you suffer and watch Nikki's vlog too early where the quality look like an android phone recorded it but you still love Nikki a lot so you continue to watch
Nikki, I love that you are still yourself. Some girls go through a break up and change everything about themselves. I love you just the way you are and I am so glad that you are still you. Love the hair, by the way!
Nikki stop comparing yourself to others! I saw you mentioned this on an instagram post today as well-- Girl, you are BEAUTIFUL. I understand that it's so hard to ever be pleased with your own body and it's awesome to always aim to improve but also realize how strong and amazing you look now!!
You are seriously the only youtuber whose videos I watch fully and look forward to. Whenever I am going through a rough time your videos just make me feel better :) Thanks Nikki!
Nikki I freakin love you You are such an inspiration to me I discovered your videos about a year and a half ago I wasn't working out at all then when I discovered your videos, I became a gym rat and I still am Thank you sooo much 😘😘😘😘
Your music and videos have been pure 🔥🔥🔥 lately girl. I loved you and Christian together , but I see you growing and just so happy and I think this time will be the BEST thing ever for you!
Ugh! You are gonna make me cry! I'm in Boston studying for my MSW, but Houston is my home! I miss it so much! Thank you for putting the skyline in the vlog :') It means more to me than you can even know.
Nikki Thank You So Much for always taking us with you grocery shopping, I just Love the way you can give us healthy options to buy. Please people like the comment so she can continue taking us grocery shopping with her.
Watching you document all of these big moves is so inspiring. Wether it's because you are trying to feel like yourself again or you're trying to find yourself, I want you to know you're doing it so gracefully girl. You're awesome Nikki! Going through the motions with ya.
You attribute being "lean" to having muscle, but I am kinda curious about how you initially started to pack on the muscle (like the first time you got into weights)? What did you do to build your "base?" High weight/low reps or Low weight/High reps? Did you do compound movements or more accessories? I would love to see a video about this. Thanks, you are super inspiring!
+Charlee Gibson Just an FYI there are tons of different ways to go about it but DUP (daily undulating periodization) (you also pretty much summarized it above) is one of the best ways of putting on muscle. high weight / low rep day and then later that week do a low weight / high rep day. Volume & progression is key. 2 days of strength (upper & lower) 3 days of hypertrophy (upper or split upper / lower or split lower)
+duncanss Thanks! I am just learning about all this stuff and doing my research. As dumb as it is, it JUST hit me today I can mix the two. Still curious how Nikki did it even though I know her method may not work for me (I realize it's different for each individual depending on their starting point and goals... and there are many ways to go about it, no way is perfect). I also realize it could take YEARS for me to look anything like her...that a body like hers takes more than a just a few months of work and dedication!
Charlee Gibson like you, I'm also learning about these things. It's so difficult to build muscle! I think now I look much toned than I was before, though my goal was to look "bigger", but I'm still trying to figure out about this stuff. Since last year I am mixing (high weight low rep/ low weight high rep) workouts days, but what I'm focusing right now (since a couple of weeks) is about to improve my workout every week. One week I increase the weights, the next week I increase the reps...in the past I didn't pay much attention to that, we'll see if that works well.
that 14 minutes flew by in like 2!! could honestly watch nikki vlogs for hours! totally wish all of us girls that love to go to the gym lived near each other, so hard to find female gym goers by me!
I love your answer on walking! People always underestimate its power, it's a great way to keep your body moving without attacking the muscle, and it's great if you're the kind of person (like me, haha!) who needs some head-space everyday. I'll always be grateful to my parents for insistently making me walk everywhere when I was little, even if my school felt like TEN THOUSAND MILES away... 😄
I look forward to your videos :) I love how independent you are doing everything on your own especially walking into a new gym on your own, something I could never do, anxiety sucks. You are very inspirational. Can't wait for the next vid.
Nikki!!! I love you!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️ I know you're going through a rough time but remember it's only temporary!! You will get through it!!!! We all love you and are here for you💕💕💕💕💕
I've been at my current gym for 13 years...never thought about looking around. But lately, I've had to add an extra 15 minutes for the convos that start...I'm thinking about going in the evening. I usually go in the morning. I love my gym though. That gym looked kind of empty...a keeper!!!!
I had to literally laugh when I saw those awesome sunglasses and everyone was watching at me weirdly since I was on a bus and listening on my headphones...
I can see that you genuinely want to help others live a healthy lifestyle and inspire people to do so! And you are totally doing that!! Go Nikki go! 👌💜💪
Nikki! Can you please talk about how you divide your workouts? For example how often you do legs and stuff. I usually do legs 3/4 times a week but sometimes I feel like I neglect upper body or don't give my legs enough time to recover. The struggle.
I've always read/heard to do legs twice a week because they do take a while to recover. I'm pretty sure that's what Nikki has said she does too. I had the best results doing legs/glutes on monday and thursday for example. The muscle can't build up if you don't give it time. For the longest time I always thought you had to work every muscle everyday. Talk about naive! Once I started watching these fitness channels it really helped.
YES to those two flavors of the Labrada Lean Body on the Go shakes. My entire refrigerator door is stocked with both of those flavors, haha. Hope you're having a great week, Nikki!
+Whitney Herman the first time I bought one I shook it. Than I warned all my friends to never drink them because I was so disgusted. Tried them again a year later without shaking it and now I'm addicted lol
hey Nikki i dont have snap chat but i wanted to tell you after having my three kids and watching your vlogs i'm now working on myself I've lost 20lbs just by biking with my kids in the bike trailer behind me thank you Nikki
Lovee your new hair Nikki!!! you seem soo much happier in these newer vlogs too!! if I am ever in Texas (PA where it's cold and dreary 364 days of the year lol) I need more girl friends to gym with! you're such an inspiration and it really made me take a look at my own situation like da faq you doing Gwen; it's time to be happy! thx girl!
There's hundreds of different types of facials, some are better than others, it all depends on the end result ur looking for and whether u want it to relax or fix problem areas :))) I recommend getting a free consultation at a derm office to see which would be best for you.
Just going through all your videos at work...ha ha! I love the beginning with the snaps from your fans because even though I am not currently going through a breakup, I have and remember how awful it was! It's great that you're sharing your experience. AND the gym looks awesome. I'm jealous. Xoxo
Felisha Marie Lol if you saw mine you would understand. It's starting to look disproportionate because my glutes, quads, and hamstrings are growing but then my calves are just completely nonexistent 😂😂
I'm sure everyone's bodies work differently, but in my experience HIIT running (which was in the form of playing regular basketball for me, but the basis was the very same in terms of rest and sprint periods) and INCLINED running (higher the incline, more the impact on your calves and hamstrings) is what you want to focus on if you're doing cardio, and in terms of weight training: calf raises are your best bet. Seated, standing; on top of dumbbells, holding dumbbells (3x10 with a weight where the tenth rep is close to failure) typically any variation. Just a load of calf raises lol. WARNING: If you add this into your regular leg split, getting out of bed the next morning will require some... assistance.
She's lean, meaning she doesn't do cardio anymore, and her diet is on point. Imo you should learn to embrace cardio. It'll help your endurance above the weightloss aspect
Michelle ! You are truly beautiful inside & out , the way you genuinely go about yourself now is so peaceful i LOVE it!! From a longtime subscriber in Fort Worth Texas!
Girl!! You look amazing as always. You look happier here :) Glowing!! I'm so happy that you have the house & life seems to be changing a lot but you're inspiring us all xx
+Anjuli “Fit For Life” Mack Also, to the girl that asked about friends that lift. I started alone then ended up meeting people there just from seeing people there at the same time each day :) We became good friends just from that!
Nikki staying lean by getting rid of 187 lb man baggage! Getting that airy- light- free feeling. Do you, Nikki!
+WaterFunFL lol
OMG 😂
+WaterFunFL Savage fam, Savage
+MrMozila but she wins, sir
Lol at this comment
Honestly I love single nikki WAY better

I love watching Nikki's videos. She's so honest about how she feels, what she thinks, and what she wants. She is seriously such a good person.
I love that the Kombucha bottles has "Do Not Shake" printed directly on the bottle yet the first thing you did was shake it. I too can't resist shaking a drink with sediment at the bottom.

LOVE IT!!!
Love your hair & how relatable you are. Anxiety over new grocery stores is real.
There needs to be a "dating" app for workout partners!!
There is a few!
I know this might be weird, but I kinda like single Nikki better... You just seem a lot happier :)💕
I would have never started watching your videos if I hadn't needed some break up inspiration and subscribed from there. I've learned a lot already. Excited that you are keeping your head up and staying positive 💕
That gym is much more HARDCORE than your last one 😏
Hair looks so much more beautiful and classy with the roots blended like that with more blended highlights.
Your new hair it's so fresh looking. Love you girl! I hope you're doing better behind closed doors. Just remember you have alot of people that love you no matter what happens. xoxo
I need those gym shark pants they look incredible on you!!!! That maple turkey bacon omg I wish I had a HEB here.
I want Gymshark leggings too!!!!
I compete in 10 days & I have been watching your prep vlogs like crazy -- watching & then re-watching.

+Alix Phillips GOOD LUCK!!!! You're going to rock it!
+Nikki Blackketter Ahhh, thank you so much. I've been following you since 2013 & you've come so far.
Can't wait to see how much further you go. X

Highlight of my night, new Nikki Blacketter upload!
It makes me feel better to know that other people stress about new gyms and finding bags to put fruit in at new grocery stores. Literally the WORST.
Changing the reg. grocery store: one of life's most stressful situations
Ugh! You are gonna make me cry! I'm in Boston studying for my MSW, but Houston is my home! I miss it so much! Thank you for putting the skyline in the vlog :') It means more to me than you can even know.
Nikki Thank You So Much for always taking us with you grocery shopping, I just Love the way you can give us healthy options to buy. Please people like the comment so she can continue taking us grocery shopping with her.

+Hustlerkidfromrecess Yup.

Your videos could be an hour long and they still wouldn't be long enough
I got nervous when you shook the Kombucha hahaha
+Lauren Ilyse I was like oh no don't do that!! she probably regretted that decision later... been there, with kombucha all over my lap :(
You look so much more at peace. Keeping me motivated!!! You're looking great Nikki!!!
I look forward to your videos :) I love how independent you are doing everything on your own especially walking into a new gym on your own, something I could never do, anxiety sucks. You are very inspirational. Can't wait for the next vid.
Calories in alcohol are 7 calories per gram, I have a BS degree in nutrition 😉 haha
+Brooke Campbell DAMMIT. I knew that.
+Brooke Campbell Do you work as a dietitian for work?
+Nikki Blackketter rage
+Justin Timberland Yes I just got an internship so I will be doing that for now
We learned that the first week in my nutrition class haha
You look really good with the hair change!
Nikki!!! I love you!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️ I know you're going through a rough time but remember it's only temporary!! You will get through it!!!! We all love you and are here for you💕💕💕💕💕
I've been at my current gym for 13 years...never thought about looking around. But lately, I've had to add an extra 15 minutes for the convos that start...I'm thinking about going in the evening. I usually go in the morning. I love my gym though. That gym looked kind of empty...a keeper!!!!
Anyone else cringe when she started shaking the kombucha? Haha :p love you Nikki
Are there any gyms where it doesn't sound like a damn club at full volume
+sleighte for real!
Omg I would love that, best music
+sleighte Ugh yeah! I always have to turn my ipod on full volume in my gym. Going to be deaf by the time I'm turning 30
I know right!!!!
Kaleo is SO good. Love that you're listening to them in this :)!
I get gym intimidation so bad, so to see you nervous about going into a new gym was so weirdly comforting.
Alcohol does have calories. Its broken down to be stored as fat and glycogen (carbs).
I made it into your video!!!!!! Love you girl!!
I had to literally laugh when I saw those awesome sunglasses and everyone was watching at me weirdly since I was on a bus and listening on my headphones...
I'm loving all of your changes and their new hair looks amazing! Inspiring me to make some changes in my life!
Nikki where did you get your leopard shorts?! They are super cute and look amazing on you!
Lululemon!
can you please do a video for beginners who want to start going to the gym and start eating healthy
Omg yes!
+Claudia Walker she already did one like last year
can you link me it cause i can't find it:(
I can see that you genuinely want to help others live a healthy lifestyle and inspire people to do so! And you are totally doing that!! Go Nikki go! 👌💜💪
Finding a gym to film at is KEY! :)
Your hair looks AWESOME!!!
So I may be moving to Houston in the nearish future... Secretly hoping I run into you at the grocery store or something :P
Nikki! Can you please talk about how you divide your workouts? For example how often you do legs and stuff. I usually do legs 3/4 times a week but sometimes I feel like I neglect upper body or don't give my legs enough time to recover. The struggle.

I need to do more legs!!!!! I'm always afraid they're going to get too big. But I like muscles. One girl worrying about nothing.
i'm really loving the vlogs lately! it reminds me of why i originally subbed and watched your videos religiously, can't wait for more!
You are one of my favorite RUclipsrs, thank you for keeping it real and sharing so much of your life✨💖✨
Damm that gym live AF lol
What isn't be fit gym Christians friends gym? That he frequents often?
YES to those two flavors of the Labrada Lean Body on the Go shakes. My entire refrigerator door is stocked with both of those flavors, haha. Hope you're having a great week, Nikki!
Ugh you are so PERFECT! Everything. Love your video and for some reason I love this one the most. You are so real and raw.
Hair looks gorg!! ❤️👌🏼
Ahhhh don't shake the kombucha! I literally yelled as you were about to shake it, like you were gonna hear me lol
+Whitney Herman Lol, glad I know that before I actually opened it!
+Nikki Blackketter omg I can't belive you replied! Week=made!:)) and yeah I hardcore shook my first one and it didn't end well haha
+Whitney Herman the first time I bought one I shook it. Than I warned all my friends to never drink them because I was so disgusted. Tried them again a year later without shaking it and now I'm addicted lol
+Elizabeth Giles aren't they awesome? Love kombucha, so detoxifying:)
hey Nikki i dont have snap chat but i wanted to tell you after having my three kids and watching your vlogs i'm now working on myself I've lost 20lbs just by biking with my kids in the bike trailer behind me thank you Nikki
That logic song at 11:30 legit made me so happy! Haha I love that dude. My first concert was him at Dallas a week sgo
Rat pack!
Alcohol is 7 kcal/g
yepp
yes
+Celine W i was gonna say the same thing haha
how so? if you have a shot of vodka are you saying you're drinking 198 calories per shot?
+iesha jourdan oh I'm sorry about would be near 800 calories because there's 28g per ounce. so that would be like 7×28×4
I'm watching Nikki and I'm like Christian must be so upset. NEW GYM!!!
Same!
+Jack Lauricourt Well in the video she still trained at Alphaletes Gym so i guess the break up wasn't that harsh.
+viktor peters yeah I never said it was harsh. They're very close from previous videos of them together!
You're amazing! You are the reason why I decided to finally start my own RUclips channel! Love you!
thank you for always inspiring me to work hard for myself & put in effort to get the results I want & to achieve my goals! I love you!!!
Nikki blackketter shows up at your local gym. She's 26, just turned single last winter. You have a 65lb bench in your hand. What do you do?
+Andrey V Go for 500 baby, whatever it takes
+Travis Klotz yep god damn it 5%
Same gym CG , Javon , and Shawley did the edit?
Lovee your new hair Nikki!!! you seem soo much happier in these newer vlogs too!! if I am ever in Texas (PA where it's cold and dreary 364 days of the year lol) I need more girl friends to gym with! you're such an inspiration and it really made me take a look at my own situation like da faq you doing Gwen; it's time to be happy! thx girl!
Damn it! Was looking up some Automotive vid's, but was distracted by a new Nikki Vlog!! (Worth it)
the first girl on the snapchat o.o
Hot chicks attract other hot chicks
SWOLLACE if so then I think Im going to be a hot chick just until I attract another hot chick :P
+NikkiBlackketter what kind of facial did you get ?! I've gotten one before but I wasn't impressed :/
ayyy lmao
+Jose Fernandez lolllllll
😂
There's hundreds of different types of facials, some are better than others, it all depends on the end result ur looking for and whether u want it to relax or fix problem areas :))) I recommend getting a free consultation at a derm office to see which would be best for you.
I give free facials, feel free to contact me when you need one. ;)
Nikki... I'm so happy to see you trying new things and different places... Love your blogs and you continue to be my go inspiration for motivation...😘
Just going through all your videos at work...ha ha! I love the beginning with the snaps from your fans because even though I am not currently going through a breakup, I have and remember how awful it was! It's great that you're sharing your experience. AND the gym looks awesome. I'm jealous. Xoxo
Nikki, you should show how to grow calves. That is my hardest muscle to grow. I have chicken legs from the knee down 😂
wow I didn't people liked growing calves lol I actually want to decrease mine
wow I didn't people liked growing calves lol I actually want to decrease mine

No cardio??? I absolutely wish I could look like you without having to do cardio.

Michelle ! You are truly beautiful inside & out , the way you genuinely go about yourself now is so peaceful i LOVE it!! From a longtime subscriber in Fort Worth Texas!
Just yelled out loud, on the elliptical, "Don't shake it!" when you picked up that kombucha. Lol
Maybe its just me..... but shouldnt these gyms be paying YOU to be a member?? I mean jesus. If anyone is bringing the boys to the yard its you girl.
+miya mcfarlane Guys go to the gym for themselves. Same with girls. At least that's how it should be. I do it for me anyway.
Big secret, diet and exercise
Those grey sparkly sneakers are EVERYTHING!
Girl!! You look amazing as always. You look happier here :) Glowing!! I'm so happy that you have the house & life seems to be changing a lot but you're inspiring us all xx
