The reason I talk about progressive overload so much is because I want you to feel empowered by knowing how to actually create physical changes in your body!
Most people work hard at ineffective workouts, and thus they conclude that there must be something wrong with their body, since it never changes. That’s the opposite of empowerment, and it sucks. By training according to the rules of science, you can not only see actual changes, you can also start to re-build trust in your body’s ability to respond appropriately to stimulus. (Hint: trust is a crucial component to learning to accept and love your body.)
The science is simple: your workouts must consistently and continually progress, aka become harder in some way, if you want to see consistent and continual changes in your body.
If you don’t want to see any changes, this rule doesn’t matter; just carry on doing whatever makes you happy.
But if you want changes of ANY kind, aesthetic or performance or otherwise, you’re gonna need progressive overload.
