Continuous Progression
By utilizing progressive overload and changing variables (load, volume, tempo, etc.) throughout the program, this method allows your body to adapt safely, reducing the risk of injuries that often come with sudden increases in activity. With a focus on gradual progression you’ll build a solid foundation, boosting your confidence and resilience while achieving lasting results!
