As a personal trainer, my job involves helping clients reach their fitness goals, whether that’s building strength and muscle, improving cardiovascular conditioning, increasing mobility and flexibility, or losing fat. Or even a combination of those goals.
To do this, workout programs can’t be random; they must follow certain principles to achieve sustainable results. This involves sticking to a balanced diet high in protein, managing daily activity levels, being consistent with exercise and something called progressive overload, which consists of adapting a workout program to build lasting results.
