Lesson details
Key learning points
- Move: challenging ourselves to work at our maximum level, without compromising technique, will help prevent injury.
- Think: applying progressive overload throughout a training programme will provide challenge and decrease boredom.
- Feel: planning a specific training plan that meets your needs gives a feeling of control.
- Connect: communicating with others to share ideas helps nurture friendships and learning from each other.
Keywords
Fitness - the ability to meet the demands of the environment
Training programme - a structured approach to exercise designed to improve fitness and achieve specific goals
Progressive overload - gradually increasing the amount of stress on the body so fitness gains occur
Common misconception
Progressive overload only applies when weight training.
Gradually increasing frequency, intensity and time or altering the type of exercise through the manipulation of different training methods can develop all fitness components. Clear examples must be shared across activities other than weight training.
