How to make gains and avoid injuries? The way I will do this is by telling you about something called Periodization. In workout and fitness training this principle is simple to understand but a little harder to apply. Simply Periodization involves using increasing resistance for 3 weeks and then unloading for the 4th. Each successive week you will increase your resistance by either increasing your load or increasing your intensity for 3 weeks. The hard part is unloading on the 4th. 
To tell trainers to back off after they have been upping the workout for 3 weeks goes against
everything that makes them succeed, they believe to constantly be pushing. By backing off you will allow the body to heal and avoid injury preparing to start another 3 weeks of successive loading. The key is to start the new loading phase with a larger load then the last starting point.
The thing to remember is that there a numerous ways to change your resistance. A person can lift heavier, run faster or longer or a combination of things. Constantly changing the resistance will force the body to adapt to a new stimulus which is the key to progress. Another thing to remember is that by letting the body heal you will be able to attack the new phase and again make progress.
This principle will help avoid injury and again make progress in your training. If there are questions on applying this to you make a point of contacting me at Better Body Health and Fitness NYC. I will take you places you’ve never been before in you training safely and effectively.
