To improve your physical condition and your performance, it is necessary to undertake a progressive training. The progression can be done with many variables: the duration of the exercise, the intensity, the load used, the distance covered and many other elements.

Here is an example: a jogger can start his training program by doing a 10 minute run, three times per week. The following week, he can increase the duration of the training by one minute. Week after week, he follows this progress, and, in this way, his physical condition will improve.

A progressive training, if done while considering the physical capacities of oneself, allows muscles to adapt and diminishes the risk of injuries.

Evidently, progressive training applies as well to cyclists, swimmers and to all persons who want to improve their physical form.

Note: When we begin a training program, the progression can be quite fast for a given exercise. After a few months, you will surely observe that you have reached a plateau. If you persist, there will still be progression, but much more slowly.
