Fitness Overload Principle
February 15th, 2009
Fitness and exercise must be done at a higher level than usual to bring physique transformations. Once your body has adapted to the higher level of exercise or weight it will function more effectively and efficiently. The overload can be obtained by manipulating various combinations of exercise frequency, intensity, duration and type of exercise.
Increasing intensity, duration and frequency can be helpful for running, cycling or swimming, and increasing resistance and repetitions can improve strength training or build muscle mass.
