Raul wants to increase his upper body and cardiovascular strength. He plans to go to the gym and use his backyard swimming pool to exercise and attain his goals. He plans to lift weights and do calisthenics on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and swim laps in the pool on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays with a rest on Sunday. In a paragraph below, explain how Raul can maximize his training by applying the seven principles of exercise to his workout routine

The principles of specificity, progression, overload, adaptation, and reversibility are why practicing frequently and consistently are so important if you want to improve your performance. Missed sessions cannot really be made up within the context of a single season. They are lost opportunities for improvement. Skipping your long ride on weekend A means you can’t or shouldn’t go as far as originally planned on weekend B (progression & overload). Skipping your Monday swim means your swimming skills and muscles won’t be honed or stressed that day (specificity). Missing a week due to a vacation sets you back more than one week (adaptation and reversibility). Apply these principles to your training to get a better understanding of your body and how to achieve success.
