Getting Off Your Fitness Plateau with Progressive Overload

Hey sister, are you stuck on a fitness plateau?    You know I'm the biggest advocate for honoring your body with movement daily. It's so great for both your mental and physical health. But if you want to take your results to the next level and change your body composition, it's going to take a little bit more than just movement. It's going to take some progressive overload.     A plateau happens with your fitness because you are repeating the same demands week in and week out. When you do this, your body adapts. Progressive overload is this simple principle that involves continually increasing the demands you place on your muscles to ensure you are continually making progress with muscle growth, fat loss, strength, and endurance. Essentially, in order to continually see results and get over your plateau, you must continually make your muscles work harder than they're used to working.   So if you work out regularly, or honor your body with movement regularly, and are stuck on a plateau, this episode is for you!    If you loved this episode, you will also love…   Episode 19: How Much Weight Should You Be Lifting?    And be sure to follow the podcast on the 'gram, @embraceyourreal, for a daily dose of real talk!
