QUESTION: What is the start date? Can I start any time?
ANSWER: This Challenge officially starts January 10th, which is when the majority of the community
will start! That said, the materials provided for this challenge are yours to download and use whenever is
most convenient for you. You will notice that upon purchase, the “TT Resources” tab within your Moves
App (on the left hand side bar, see guide on page 14) will include your Manual, Recipe Guide, and
“Build Your Plate” resources. Feel free to print these for your convenience! You will also find very helpful
*NEW* video content from our Nutritionist and Physical Therapist, designed to help educate you on
important topics.
If you start the challenge at some point WHILE it is going on, I recommend jumping to the day of
workouts that the community is on and then tacking on the beginning portion that you missed at the
end. It is super motivating and fun to work alongside the community during the challenge!

2022 TIGHTER TOGETHER 5 WINTER CHALLENGE FAQ
Frequently asked questions. QUESTION: What is the difference between “Fat Loss” and “Mainte- nance” macros? ANSWER: We offer two different options for personalized macro counts. Please review the two plans below to indentify which one is right for you and your goals (if you plan to particiapte!). Due to high volume of customers, you will only receive ONE macro count, so please take your time filling out the assessment and make sure that it accurately reflects your statistics and goals. 1. Fat Loss Macros This option is for those who are looking to REDUCE overall body weight during the challenge while changing body composition. This goal will require a calorie deficit. For reference (and this will vary slightly from person to person), the overall calorie difference between choosing “maintenance macros” and “fat loss macros” is approximately 200-350 calories per day in the form of fats and carbs (fat loss is LOWER than Maintenance). Fat Loss Macros count will implement carb cycling and have “high carb (2 per week) / low carb days (5 per week)”. This is a more aggressive approach designed for a short duration, NOT long term. The TT Manual outlines in detail the transition to maintenance after the challenge. 2. Maintenance Macros This option is for those who want to change BODY COMPOSITION (their body’s ratio of muscle to fat) without placing an emphasis on losing body weight. This option is ideal for those who have a personal focus on nutritional consistency with their eating habits and properly fueling their body, not weight LOSS. This is a great option for people who want to benefit most from the workouts, community, and motivation provided rather than a personal emphasis on being in a calorie deficit/cut phase. Maintenance macros will not be carb cycling and will have ONE daily macro count, not “high carb/ low carb” days. All calculations have been checked by multiple Registered Dietitians and a Clinical Nutritionist, but you know your body’s needs best. Some of you know your current caloric intake and should always adjust your numbers as needed to reflect the intake you have made your maintenance. Please refer to page 25 of your manual on how to do so. This challenge is also designed to take those who selected Fat Loss macros OUT of a deficit at the conclusion, so please refer to and follow your Manual’s AFTERMATH TRANSITION guidelines to ensure a smooth transition to your next phase (pg. 29-31). If at any point you feel that you want to make that transition early, do so! Nutrition is an individual topic and YOUR biofeedback should always take priority. 2022 TIGHTER TOGETHER 6 WINTER CHALLENGE FAQ

2022 TIGHTER TOGETHER 8 WINTER CHALLENGE FAQ
Frequently
asked questions.
QUESTION: When will the Tighter Together challenge workouts populate
in my Moves App Plans tab and Calendar?
ANSWER: The workouts will populate on Thursday, January 6, 2022. This keeps the challenge fair to
all participants and allows us to all start together on January 10th!
If you want to start workouts prior to the 6th, the Moves App Membership is linked here. We have
several program options that are fit for different stages of life (see page 12); however, Weekly Moves
is our most popular choice.
QUESTION: What if I only plan to workout 3 days per week? Which
workouts should I prioritize?
ANSWER: GREAT! It is important to take the workouts and remember that they are yours for the long
term. You do not need to commit to all of them in order to see and feel amazing results. I recommend
trying to target each large muscle group: Upper Body (Monday), Lower Body (Tuesday), and Back &
Chest (Wednesday). You can do them on ANY DAY OF THE WEEK! To learn how to move workouts to
a different day, see guide on page 14.
QUESTION: Where can I locate my RECIPES and MANUAL?
ANSWER: You may find these within the Moves App (or desktop portal) by going to the “RESOURCES”
tab. Within there you should see the Tighter Together New Year recipes, manual, and “build your plate”
resources. They can all be downloaded and printed from the desktop login.
