The Challenge Got You Started. Here’s How to Keep It Going.
A huge high-five for completing our Move 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. But, what comes next?
The Phase After the Push
Move 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 the challenge, 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
If you’ve been loving the Move Together Recipe Guide and having your workouts and meals all in one place, we think you’ll be obsessed with Moves Plus, our newest premium membership. Designed with busy lifestyles in mind, it adds a Meals tab right alongside your workouts to make meal prep easy, stress-free, and delicious.
Browse a recipe library by category, from dinners under 30 minutes to protein-packed favorites, and follow along with step-by-step instructions and macros for every dish. Each week, you’ll get three dinners plus two extras chosen to share ingredients and cut down on waste. Add one meal or the whole week with a tap, or pull from the full library and your saved favorites. Need dietary substitutions? No worries, our team has created every recipe with easy swaps to fit your needs.
Every recipe is reviewed by registered dietitian Heather Pavlik and clinical nutritionist Courtney Rushing, so you’re not just saving time, you’re building sustainable habits that last. We’ll build your plan. All you have to do is start.
Reverse Dieting 101
One of the most common mistakes after completing Move 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 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 MT Manual for detailed instructions on how to transition your macros safely and effectively.

Foundation Moves
If the challenge felt a little intense or you’re just newer to strength training, this 6-week program will help you build (or rebuild) a strong, confident foundation safely and effectively. Foundation Moves was built to teach you those foundational movements to provide a progressive and safe approach to building strength, coordination, balance, and core strength.
Best for: New lifters or those returning after time away
Strength Moves
If you loved MT’s foundational upper/lower splits but want to focus on heavier lifting and less cardio, Strength Moves is for you. It’s built around heavy, compound lifts using barbells, plates, or a squat rack.
Best for: Experienced lifters ready to level up
Mom Moves
If you’re expecting, our trimester-specific and postpartum programs will help you train confidently and safely through every stage.
