""How do you keep getting fitter and stronger with less risk of getting injured? The answer, quite simply, is by using a deload week. "
"A deload week is a period of reduced training volume designed to maintain any training gains you’ve made, lower the risk of injury and promote recovery."
“Think of them as taking one small step back so you can make giant leaps forward,” says Fiit’s Director of Fitness & Performance, Gede Foster. “They are a chance to reset, recharge and re-energise your mind and body after a taxing spell of exercise.”
"Crucially, they can also reduce your risk of overtraining, prevent working out from going stale, and help you smash through plateaus that might be halting your progress so you keep getting fitter and stronger."
"So how do they work and how will you know when you need one? We’ve broken down all you need to know about deload plans below."
