Progressive Overload Explained

How resistance training becomes more challenging over time.

Progressive overload means gradually increasing training challenge. That may involve load, repetitions, sets, range of motion or exercise difficulty.

Progress is not just heavier weight

Technique and tolerable recovery remain important as workload changes.

Health note: Exercise needs vary. If you have a chronic condition, disability, injury, or concerns about starting exercise, seek appropriate professional guidance.
