Erik's Weekly Fitness Tip | Your Workouts Must Be Progressive

 

Who Is Flo?

Unless you live on the moon or do not own a T.V.,  you are familiar with Flo from the Progressive Insurance commercials. Today I’m going to play the role of Flo and I’m going to remind you that your workouts need to be progressive.  

What Do I Mean?

  • Incrementally lift more weight 
  • Run faster
  • Take less rest in between sets. 

Why? 

Because if you decide to do the same weights for your exercises each time you lift you will not improve.  There will be times during the year due to illness, injury or stress that it’s tough to continue to get stronger or faster and that’s okay.  

What's not okay is a year or years of going through the motions.  Age, sex, or a long list of injuries should never stop you from wanting to improve.  It has to be progressive. Get after it.
