what are the 4 principles of exercise

overload, progression, specificity, rest and recovery

what is the principle of overload

1. Overload: To improve muscle fitness, a muscle must contract harder than normal. In other words, the muscle must work against a greater load than it normally bears in daily activity

what is the principle of progression

1. Progression: gradually increase load or resistance over time in order to best improve your muscle fitness

what is the principle of specificity

1. Specificity: The specific type of training you perform determines which type of muscle fitness you build

what is the principle of rest and recovery

1. Rest and Recovery: you need to give your muscles time to rest and recover after a workout

should you mix up your food

YES
