Why is Progressive Overload So Important?
The scientifically backed formula to all the plans we create. This is why you will get results. Progressive Overload is the gradual increase in stress that is put on your body during training. The two biggest factors are volume (repetitions) and intensity. We gradually increase this each week over the course of your plan to position you for progress. Otherwise you risk doing too much at one time or not enough at all.
We make adjustments to the workout each week to keep your body progressing and adapting instead of simply just using more weight each week. Each workout is part of a plan and has a specific goal and purpose.
Plus:
- Watch interviews and listen to podcasts with fitness experts to build your knowledge & results
- Interact with some of the most highly qualified trainers in the world in Facebook Group

Quotes from Participants
"Wow, this is better than an in-person class. The program is fantastic. It walks you through each set/round of an entire exercise program (warm-up, cool-down, exercises, finisher). Everything is timed (including rests) and the rests show you previous and next exercises. As well, all of the exercise are in an on-line library linked with the day(s) you will be doing the exercises. So, you can review a days exercises, before or after a class." - Robert, United States
"Amazing catalogue of workout plans for life! Only been a week and a half since I started my first Living.Fit program, and I know that I made a great, lifelong investment for my health and fitness." - Kellen, Canada
