Hello and welcome to this episode of the ESG Fitness Podcast.

We got quite behind in the client Q&A.

So what I'm going to do today is catch up on some of those.

I'm going to go through questions from our Commit to Six Legends.

The first one is, do you have to lift heavy with progressive overload

to get the benefits? Do you have, okay, no. You will get benefits to health and fitness and even

you're pushing yourself in some kind of way. So hopefully that explains that. But yeah, I think people do get a little bit confused about that.

Like, oh, do it.

Well, is there no point doing it if I'm not progressively overloading?

If I'm not doing more than I was doing before.

And it's like, well, no, if you want to maintain your health and fitness,

then just doing the same exercise would be effective.

versus rest days. Is it worth it? Should I be doing it? So is it worth it is quite a big question because there might be
