Progressive Resistance Exercise (PRE)

Progressive Resistance Exercise (PRE) is a strength training method where you gradually increase the resistance or weight used in exercises over time. This approach challenges your muscles consistently, prompting them to adapt, grow stronger, and build endurance. The key principle is steady progression—starting with manageable weights and gradually adding more as your muscles get stronger. PRE can involve weights, resistance bands, or bodyweight. It’s an effective way to improve muscle strength, enhance physical performance, and support overall health, provided the increases are made safely and in alignment with your fitness level.
