Generation

The overload principle states that to improve your fitness, you must challenge your body beyond its current capabilities. Think of it like this: if you can comfortably do 10 push-ups, your muscles won't get stronger until you push them to do 12, 15, or add resistance. Your body adapts to stress by becoming stronger, faster, or more efficient—but only when that stress exceeds what it's already used to handling. This is why workouts need to progressively become more challenging over time to see continued improvement.
