Periodization

Everyone is different but a majority of people can benefit from specific training methods. For example, one of the best ways to avoid over training and overreacting is through periodization. The seven laws of training illustrate why periodization is advantageous.

Periodization refers to how a person's training is broken down into discreet time- periods called macro cycles, mesocycles, and micro cycles. A macro cycle generally constitutes an entire training period. Usually this cycle is thought of as an entire year but in sports for example, a season is considered a year. Secondly, are mesocycles, which are periodic breakdowns in the macro cycle. Mesocycles have a tendency to blend. The third cycle, known as the micro cycle, is one cycle in intensity. To avoid problems, periods of high intensity should be followed by periods of low intensity before another period of high intensity can occur. Depending on the muscle group, this could take as few as five days or up to three weeks.

The laws of training all coincide with periodization. Everyone is different; they will all adapt and evolve at different levels after a year of training. Furthermore, training intensity must increase over time. If someone's training is overly intense too quickly their body will wear down or over train and they will get negative results. If a person's workout routine is redundant, they will not get proper results either. Thus, a gradual increase in length of workout, weight, speed, reps, so on and so forth, must increase over time with adequate rest periods. Beginners should never jump into the training program of an athlete for example. Therefore, low intensity training must be integrated into high intensity periods. The individual will eventually adapt to stresses on their body more quickly as time progresses.

As a personal trainer the main goal is to get positive results for every client, no matter how diverse each one is. The quick and easy approach will only injure the person and they will not achieve their full potential. Over training can cause high blood pressure, sleep problems, and loss of appetite, just to name a few. Knowledge is the best prevention.
