  • Progression In Training (Science Meets Art)

    ByJarrat Wood
    Simply put, progression in training is where we apply a stimulus to a client and an adaptation occurs. This adaptation may occur in any aspect of a client’s fitness. We then apply a new stimulus and another adaptation occurs. Rinse, wash, repeat. It’s a simple process that can easily be over-complicated by some personal trainers. We also know that applying the same stimulus once the initial adaptation has occurred will lead to the same result (homeostasis). This is why someone who trains regularly but with a monotonous program will stop progressing. A new stimulus is required. It also why I often quote to my clients: “the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result”. We don’t treat other aspects of our lives in this way so why should our fitness be any different.
