Coach Nicolette created the Making Muscle program series to help you dig in and focus on strength training the right way.
Winter is often when fitness is put on the back burner. It can be hard to stay motivated with cold temperatures, fading daylight, and excess calorie intake. Coach Nicolette created the Making Muscle series to help you dig in and focus on strength training the right way for the next two months.
Making Muscle: Beginner & Intermediate will keep you motivated to bulk up, get stronger, and shed those calories all winter long.
Gain Muscle and Strength
Tonal’s multi-phase muscle-building programs are best suited for those willing to dedicate serious time to strength training every week for multiple months. Making Muscle: Intermediate (Phase 2) builds on the work you will do in Making Muscle: Beginner (Phase 1). Workouts start out with basic movements and ramp in difficulty as you get to the next level.
Making Muscle: Beginner is all about bulking up. Coach Nicolette calls this phase the “intensification” part of the program. This means that you’ll focus on building a strong foundation through repetitive movement. The high volume of movements you’ll do during this phase will help you move better and set you up to lift heavier weight in Making Muscle: Intermediate.
Coach Nicolette kicks Making Muscle into high gear with Making Muscle: Intermediate, or the “accumulation” phase of the program. You’ll build off of all the work you did during Making Muscle: beginner to gain even more strength, so we recommend that you do each phase in order. Coach Nicolette adds on more weight and intensity to get your heart racing and your blood pumping.
