overtraining.<br />
many moons ago, when i first studied sports science, i<br />
learned about the supercomensation curve, the science<br />
of adaptation. the science of getting fitter.<br />
i learned how the curve depends on the 3 ingredients.<br />
SPECIFICITY (the type of exercise)<br />
OVERLOAD (the intensity of exercise)<br />
RECOVER (the amount of rest between exercise)<br />
as i designed my first ever fitness plans... for my first ever<br />
clients... and made my first ever monumental cock ups... i<br />
discovered something very frustrating...<br />
the supercompensation curve is incredibly fragile.<br />
if you get any of the three ingredients wrong, you disrupt<br />
the curve and you quite simply don't achieve any fitness<br />
gains. and this is regardless of how much time you've<br />
spent exercising... regardless of how much sweat has<br />
poured off your body... and regardless of how many<br />
fitness classes you've attended that week.<br />
i discovered, to my amazement, that there was a zone...<br />
a JUST RIGHT AMOUNT of exercise that stimulated the<br />
supercompensation curve and brought about rapid<br />
fitness gains.<br />
