Progressive Overload

Without Progressive Overload, you’d Plateau!
 Progressive overload is when we apply a new stimulus / stress to the body, forcing the body to adapt and change to meet the demands of this stimulus.
 Most women are scared of increasing weight / progressing as they “don’t want to get big”, but yet they want to be ‘Toned’ , without a new stimulus, the body will stay the same. This is very common for those that do the same Gym based classes / group exercise. Their body’s used to the stimulus/intensity, and has no reason to change.
 Way’s in which you can implement a progressive overload:
 • Increase Weight.
 • More Reps or Sets.
 • Slower Tempo.
 • Shorten Rest Between Sets.
 • Increase Range of Movement.
 

With progressive overload comes consistent progression.
