Today’s Learning: The SAID Principle, and Progressive Overload – Reading a little bit about how exercise works (Introducing two fundamental concepts to training called the SAID Principle, and Progressive Overload) Instead, we’ll be learning some theory about exercise for your reading today! Luckily, you aren’t learning another exercise today, and you will have some more opportunity to practice your push-ups and re-consolidate all that info before you have to learn another one tomorrow.
