Continuing to progress in fitness can be challenging. Whether its; gaining muscle, getting stronger, or achieving better shape, specific techniques are important to maximize efficiency.
That’s why at Redzone, we follow techniques in “Progressive Overload”.
Progressive overload is a principle in strength training that refers to the gradual increase of stress placed on the body during exercise. The goal of progressive overload is to continually challenge the body and adapt to the increased demands placed on it. This can be achieved through various methods, such as increasing the weight lifted, increasing the number of repetitions performed, increasing the number of sets performed, decreasing the amount of rest between sets, or altering the exercise itself to make it more challenging.
Progressive overload is important because it allows the body to continue adapting and improving over time. When the body is subjected to the same level of stress repeatedly, it will eventually stop adapting and progress will plateau. By progressively increasing the demands placed on the body, you can continue to stimulate adaptation and improvement.
It is important to note that progressive overload should be applied gradually and carefully. Overloading the body too quickly or excessively can lead to injury or burnout. It is important to listen to your body and make adjustments as needed to ensure that you are training safely and effectively.
