Let’s talk about the training principle that’s a MUST if you want to get leaner, stronger, and see results from your workouts.
⠀
Introducing: Progressive overload.
⠀
Plain and simple, progressive overload is the KEY to improving your body composition & changing the way you look…and this applies to both your workouts in the gym and at home.
⠀
So what is it exactly? ????
⠀
Progressive overload means that for a muscle to grow or get stronger, the body must be forced to adapt to a level that is above what it has previously experienced.
⠀
Remember, your body is made for survival, not getting toned or looking good in a swimsuit.
⠀
It just wants to keep you alive. ????
⠀
In order to create the changes we want to see, you must give your body a reason to do so. You have to introduce the stimulus of overload (progressively; over time), where your body has no choice but to adapt to that stimulus.
⠀
You may be wondering…
⠀
“But how can I do this at home without weights & machines?”
⠀
Luckily, there are many ways to accomplish this, you can also:
⠀
1.Add reps
2.Add supersets
3.Add resistance
4.Increase time under tension
5.Improve form
6.Decrease rest times
⠀
These are all different ways to add progressive overload to your at home workouts & push yourself a little bit harder.
⠀
If you are consistently improving upon the variables above, your body will have no choice but to adapt, build muscle, and get stronger!
