  • "The rationale behind it [progressive overload] is that you need a stimulus in order to change, and few of us want to go through the effort of investing time into working on our fitness and not have it change," Susan Sotir, PhD, CSCS, coach at Breakthrough Performance Coaching, tells SELF.

Progressive overload is a crucial technique for achieving fitness goals, involving gradually increasing the weight, frequency, or intensity of workouts to continually challenge the muscles and promote growth and strength. According to the article on MSN, this method prevents plateaus by ensuring that the body is always adapting to new demands, which is essential for muscle development and overall fitness improvement.

It also highlights the importance of tracking progress and adjusting the workout plan accordingly to maintain the effectiveness of the training regimen.
