The Importance of Gradual Exercise Progression for Achieving Optimal Fitness 🏋️‍♂️

There is no doubt that exercising is great for human health, but what about the repetition? 🤔 Disrupting your body's internal balance can have unexpected consequences. It turns out that if we don't challenge our bodies enough, this strategy may eventually work against our goal of achieving optimal fitness, according to Science Alert. The study suggests that improving your fitness comes from disrupting your body's internal balance.

This process, known as homeostasis, helps living organisms maintain a stable internal environment despite changes in external conditions. 🌍

Experts in the report revealed that stress is what drives our bodies to respond and adapt. When the stress causing this imbalance is exercise, the response is fatigue, resulting from the way exercise disrupts our natural internal environment. 🏃‍♀️💪

3 Ways to Achieve Gradual Overload
There are three main ways to achieve progressive overload, according to experts:

1. Increasing the intensity of the exercise.
2. Increasing the frequency of training sessions.
3. Increasing the duration of each workout. ⏱️

To enhance exercise intensity, you can either increase the exercise requirements or manipulate the recovery period, such as reducing rest time between workouts. ⏳
