What is periodization training theory?
Periodization is an organized approach to training that involves progressive cycling of various aspects of a training program during a specific period of time.
Why do we progress exercises?
Progressing your exercise means changing it to make it more challenging. A change in your exercise prescription could mean changing the: intensity of your exercise (making it more vigorous) duration of your exercise (making it longer)
