The FIDOSAR!
It can be easy to get confused by all the outlandish claims that are made relating to ways you can:
‘Achieve the perfect body in just 90 seconds a day!’
‘Lose as much weight as you want, with our revolutionary program – it doesn’t even require exercise!’
People ask ‘How do I know if what they say is real or not? How do I know if this program that seems too good to be true will actually get me those amazing results?
It’s all about FIDOSAR!
F requency – if you don’t train enough, nothing will happen.
I ntensity – if you don’t train hard enough, nothing will happen.
D uration – if you don’t train for long enough, nothing will happen.
O verload – if you don’t increase the ‘difficulty’ of your sessions over time, nothing will happen. The more ‘conditioned/trained’ you are, the more overload you require. We can apply overload by adjusting Frequency, Intensity and Duration.
S pecificity – if you don’t train for your specific goal……nothing will happen.
A daption – your body will adapt to the demands you place on it (within reason) – SOMETHING will happen! Adaptation will occur in response to Frequency, Intensity, Duration and Specificity.
R eversibility – AKA ‘Use it or lose it’ Any gains (or losses) you make will be reversed if you do not keep up with your training.
Effective programming involves the manipulation of a number of these variables, and as a general rule, if you can not see evidence of this in your ‘dream program’ the reason is because it is all ‘dream’ and not any kind of effective program.
