Start Slowly and Progress Gradually!
Start slowly and progress gradually… this is one of the most overlooked and misunderstood principles of physical fitness training and the majority of fitness experts, fitness enthusiasts, highly motivated and talented amatuer athletes, as well as professional caliber athletes, frequently overestimate their personal physiological capacity to recover from training programs they engage in. From frequency, duration and intensity of physical stimulus, to the length of time required before repeat engagement, this is a primary key to getting health, fitness and performance right or simply failing to reach set goals. To misunderstand “start slowly and progress gradually” at any fitness level, is to flirt with injury, burnout or complete cessation of physical activity within a short and/or long period of time; the speed in which failure is experienced by the end user is simply dictated upon the gravity of mistakes being made.
