The Challenge Got You Started. Here’s How to Keep It Going.
A huge high-five for completing this Fall Tighter Together Challenge. This is such an accomplishment, and we hope you’re taking a moment to truly feel proud of yourself. Whether you hit every single workout, tracked your macros with precision, conquered those tough skater squats, or simply showed up with consistency and intention, you made meaningful progress, and that’s what matters most.
This challenge has always been about more than just workouts and nutrition. It’s about proving to yourself that you can commit, show up, and make real progress, even when life gets busy. There might have been workouts moved around, skipped, or cut short, because such is life, but you should be proud of the amount of time you’ve been able to commit! Every decision you made over the last several weeks, every rep, every meal, every time you chose to keep going, has built momentum toward your long-term goals.
Now that you’ve completed this phase, it’s the perfect time to pause, celebrate everything you’ve accomplished, and reflect on how far you’ve come. And with that celebration comes the exciting next step:
👉 What comes next?
The Phase After the Push
Tighter Together is designed to be a habit-building “push phase.” It’s meant to challenge you, spark growth, and help you build the structure and consistency needed to support lasting results. But the real key to long-term success happens in the phase that follows, where you find a pace that’s both realistic and sustainable.
While some people feel motivated to jump straight into another challenge, we strongly recommend not doing them back-to-back. Over time, that approach can lead to burnout, plateaus, and unnecessary stress on the body. Instead, this is the perfect opportunity to transition into a program that fits your lifestyle, keeps you progressing, and supports full recovery.
Pro tip: If you do plan to repeat Tighter Together, make sure to schedule a Deload Week and check in with how your body feels before diving back in. Recovery is just as important as the work itself.

Nutrition: Make Progress Sustainable
One of the most common mistakes after completing Tighter Together is staying in a calorie deficit for too long. Short-term deficits can be effective, but true long-term results come from fueling your body properly and supporting your metabolism.
Reverse Dieting 101
Reverse dieting is the process of gradually increasing your calories back to maintenance after a fat-loss phase. This approach helps your body recover, prevents weight regain, and keeps your metabolism working optimally.
Benefits include:
✅ A faster metabolism (higher BMR)
✅ Improved training performance and recovery
✅ Better energy, sleep, and digestion
✅ Long-term weight maintenance and muscle retention
When to Adjust Your Macros
Your fat-loss macros are not meant to be permanent! We recommend staying in a fat-loss phase for 4–12 weeks, followed by 16–24 weeks at maintenance. This helps prevent metabolic slowdown, supports lean muscle retention, and keeps your body thriving.
Check your TT Manual for detailed instructions on how to transition your macros safely and effectively.

Keep training with intention, fuel your body with the nourishment it deserves, listen to the signals it gives you, and lean into the supportive community around you. You’ve built momentum, now keep it going.
The next phase is where the real transformation happens.
