The Overload Principle
- it means that your body will adapt to the demand you impose on it.
For Example:
When you complete a hard cardio workout that puts new demands on your heart and lungs.
Because the body is so adaptable, the demands we put on it must gradually and progressively increase over time in order to achieve long-term fitness gains. These demands must be applied slowly, because too much too fast causes the body to react negatively to excessive stress.
