It’s here: Tighter Together New Year 2025! Whether you’re focusing on Madeline’s Strength program or exploring Melissa’s Hybrid format, this challenge is all about progress and community.
To help you stay motivated and make the most of your journey, we’ve rounded up some tips to help you stay consistent and make the most of your challenge—without stressing about perfection.
1. Focus on Progress Over Perfection
You don’t need to be perfect to see results—consistency is what counts. Even with 3–4 workouts a week or sessions as short as 30–45 minutes, you can still make incredible progress.
Quick Tip: Use exercise alternates or modify movements as needed. The most important thing is to keep showing up!
2. Make Recovery a Priority
Recovery is important for seeing results, but we get it—life is full. Do what you can, when you can:
- Cooldowns: Spend a few minutes stretching or doing light movement after each workout to reduce soreness.
- LISS (Low-Intensity Steady-State): Activities like walking or light cycling help your muscles recover and stay active.
- Sleep: Quality sleep is where the magic happens—aim for 7–9 hours per night (when you can).
- Deload Week: It’s built into the program to help you recover, so take advantage when it arrives.
3. Work Smarter, Not Harder
Efficiency can make a big difference, especially during a busy challenge:
- Review Workouts Ahead of Time: Familiarize yourself with the exercises and available alternates. Use the “edit” feature to save time during your session.
- Log Weights After Workouts: Instead of pausing during your session, take a few minutes at the end to record your weights. The “complete all” button is your friend.
- Prioritize Early Sets: The most important and muscle-stimulating exercises are placed at the start of your workout, so even if you’re short on time, you’ll still get the most important work done.
4. Simplify Your Nutrition
Feeling overwhelmed? Streamline your approach to food:
- Batch Prep Proteins: Cook your proteins in bulk to save time throughout the week.
- Snack Templates: Stick to options with protein, fiber, and healthy fats for a go-to snack you can repeat.
- Grab-and-Go Breakfasts: Prep items like overnight oats, smoothies, or egg muffins for easy mornings.
5. Remember—This Is Temporary, By Design
Tighter Together is meant to push you, but it’s not designed to be your everyday routine. The structure, intensity, and short timeframe are intentional, helping you challenge yourself and see progress in a focused period.
After the challenge, transition into one of the Moves App’s long-term programs. These are built with sustainability in mind to help you achieve consistent, goal-oriented results over time.
Tighter Together is about more than workouts—it’s about showing up, making progress, and celebrating your journey. Whether you’re crushing every workout or taking things day by day, you’re moving closer to your goals.
Remember, the Moves community and team are always here to support you. Let’s make this challenge one to remember!
