ALSO: You can choose to give your body MUCH NEEDED REST!
Progressive Overload: To stimulate muscle growth, you must continually challenge your muscles to do more over time. With bodyweight training, this can be done by:
Increasing Reps: Perform more repetitions of an exercise to increase muscle fatigue.
Increasing Sets: Do more sets of an exercise to increase the total volume of work.
Slowing Down Movements: Perform the eccentric (lowering) phase of an exercise slower to increase muscle tension.
Exercise Variations: Progress to harder variations of an exercise, such as moving from a standard squat to a single-leg squat.
Change Range of Motion: You can perform a partial range of motion to reduce pressure on a specific area or increase the range to make an exercise more challenging.
Adjust Weight or Resistance: Decrease the amount of weight or resistance, or use bodyweight only, to reduce the intensity and maintain proper form.
Alter the Speed or Tempo: Performing a movement slower can increase muscle tension and improve control, while a faster tempo can make it feel more intense.
Reduce Impact: For high-impact exercises like jumping, you can modify by removing the jump or doing a smaller version to be gentler on your joints.
