Exclusive to Tighter Together New Year 2025, Moves is introducing two unique formats for the Tighter Together program! Whether you’re an avid strength trainer or an enthusiastic runner, there’s a version tailored to meet your fitness goals. 

‍

But how to choose? Here’s a breakdown to help you decide which program is your perfect fit.

Choose between:

1. Tighter Together: Strength – the classic you know and love with a strength-focused schedule, designed by Madeline.
2. Tighter Together: For Runners – balance strength and running, designed with a top hybrid training expert and run coach, Melissa Kendter.

‍

Tighter Together: Strength

• Designed by: Madeline
• Focus: Progressive overload strength training
• Best For: Individuals prioritizing traditional strength and muscle-building techniques. If you enjoy Weekly Moves, this program will feel like home.

The foundation of this program is hypertrophy training, designed to:

• Use progressive overload principles (lifting heavier over time) to build muscle and strength.
• Change body composition by promoting fat loss and increasing lean muscle tissue.
• Push through plateaus with a mix of resistance training, higher-intensity cardio bouts, and core work.

‍

Tighter Together: For Runners

• Designed by: Melissa
• Focus: Blending strength training with cardiovascular endurance
• Best For: Athletes and runners who want to balance resistance training with their running goals. If you enjoy Endurance Moves, this is for you.

This hybrid program is specifically designed to support runners by combining:

• Hypertrophy training for building strength and preventing injury.
• Mobility and athletic drills for improving form and flexibility.
• Guided running workouts, including easy runs, speed intervals, and long runs, to balance endurance and power.

Both programs share:

• Community Crossover Moves: Exercises featured in both plans for a shared experience and camaraderie.
