Title: The Routine of the Training

Author: Isabel Curini

Article:
In order to be effective, fitness training must be well
assimilated and personalized. The process of learning and
mastering the exercises properly takes a lot of time. Many of
the movements must be practiced until they become automatisms;
this way, the focus will be on the muscles that are worked out
and on intensity of practice, rather than on the execution
technique. But this routine of training has also some
disadvantages.

One of them is monotony - the exercises get to be really boring
for the practitioners. On the other hand, at least 4-6 weeks are
necessary for checking and proving the potential of training,
developing, losing weight, etc. that a program might have. A
shorter period of time will not be enough for drawing relevant
conclusions on the effectiveness of the program. Thus, a certain
psychological resistance to monotony is necessary from the very
beginning.

Another disadvantage of routine is the fact that the muscles
act under the principle of economy of effort. This means that,
soon after starting the program, they do not react to the
stimulus with the same effectiveness as in the beginning. A
state of limitation intervenes, when, in spite of the same
efforts, the sportsman will not progress any more. Stagnation of
good results might be very frustrating for the sportsman, who
could, finally, abandon training completely. For avoiding this,
it is advisable to change the program periodically, so that the
muscles will have time to 'forget' the first exercises; the
sportsman can come back to them after getting through a few
different programs.

A completely new program can have disadvantages, for example
the fact that learning it demands an increased effort of
attention, of focusing, and sometimes even involve mental
stress, determined by the degree of difficulty of the program.
However, some practitioners can see a positive aspect in this,
considering the new program as a challenge, which will 'refresh'
them psychologically.

On the other hand, a too frequent change of programs can be as
ineffective as maintaining them for too long. Changing the
program before benefiting of all its potential of progress is
like giving up antibiotics treatment after you have the
impression that the symptoms disappeared.

It is important for the sportsman to observe carefully his own
reactions from one training to the next; this way he will be
able to choose the best moment for taking up new routine. It is
very easy to consider some temporary states of indisposition,
irritability or tiredness as limitation or overtraining and to
abandon, in consequence, a program which would still have a lot
to offer.

This is another case in which the experience accumulated by the
practitioner in months or years of training will help him take
the right decision and change the program when it is best for
the body. If the sportsman makes the right choice, he will feel
progress even in the first sessions of training and he will not
need a long period of adaptation.

In time, the sportsman can develop a conditioned reflex, meaning
that the body will ask regularly, at certain intervals, for a
change in the routine of the training. This way, new solutions
can be anticipated for getting over the critical fazes of
stagnation. Moreover, the interest for the training will remain
constant.

The active breaks (active recovery), which must be initiated
once a trimester, a semester or a year, can submit to this
rhythmic conditioning. They intrinsically belong to the training
and their importance must not be underestimated.
