individualixation
refers to a systematic increase in the intensity level or duration of your activity or both.
progession
refers to the increase in workload of the body or body parts about the present level.
overload
To avoid boredom from doing an exercise routine over and over again, try spicing up your training
variation
Being able to perform a different exercise keeps you motivated and the new challenges makes your exercise regime fresh
variation
If you start to relax and fail to consistently follow your training schedule, your fitness level and performance will start to decline.
reversibility
Once your fitness goals have been achieved, you should maintain doing activities without disregarding the other components of physical fitness, no more overloading but all should be balanced and maintained.
