Читать книгу New Anatomy for Strength & Fitness Training - Mark Vella - Страница 16

Your current state of health and fitness is a product of four main factors: your genetics, history, lifestyle, and environment. The first two, for now, are beyond your control. The latter two are very much within your control, as you are able to make choices and changes around your present lifestyle and environment that can result in a more positive or negative expression of wellbeing. This is the power you have as an individual. Furthermore, even though our biological anatomy has all the same parts, we have a range of variability influenced by our genetic coding.

So, what’s my point? Not every exercise program type, fitness program, or training protocol will work for everyone. Not everyone can start at the same level of intensity and exercise volume. Not everyone will progress at the same pace. This doesn’t mean it’s wrong or that you are weak; it just means that individual differences must be accounted for when starting and developing a training program.

There is no such thing as the perfect program. But I do believe we can say that there is such a thing as the perfect program for you, one that best suits your needs and goals. So choose a program that forms part of a healthy lifestyle and that is safe, effective, and rewarding for you, one that helps you be a better you, leaner, more mobile, and stronger in your own way. Start at a level you can maintain and progress from. Make time for your training. Get professional support, especially in the beginning, if you need it.
