that the body muscles must perform work to achieve the goal, but a progressive
at a level that is greater than their initial workload will provide our bodies with
workload. The overload principle allows adaptations needed for the goal. There are
our bodies to adjust in response to the a number of methods to practice overload,

and (3) frequency. 

2. Differentiate Individuality, Specificity and Reversibility.

Individuality Specificity Reversibility

Every individual has a
distinct set of physical
abilities. Individuality
says that we can tailor
our own workout
regimen to our own
abilities, wants,
aspirations, restrictions,
and physical
circumstances. This
principle seeks to assist
us in improving
ourselves.
According to the
specificity principle, we
must carry out activities
that will help us achieve
our goals. Certain
individuals fit better, but
others might not make
the most efficient use of
their capabilities,
especially when there are
poor or nonexistent
training plans,
insufficient time to train,
and/or materials that
don't match your needs.
According to the reversibility
principle, if we stop exercising,
our bodies will lose whatever
they have gained. That is why it
is critical to maintain our
health by exercising on a
regular basis. We must be
consistent in order to obtain
and sustain our intended
results. This principle will
educate us about the
relationship between
commitment and consistency,
and how the two are
inextricably linked in many
aspects of our everyday lives.
