Why Fitness Is Built Between Sessions, Not During Them

The workout is not where fitness happens.

The workout is the signal.

Adaptation happens after.

The CrossFit Level 1 guide explains that training creates stress. Recovery is where the body adapts to that stress.

No recovery. No progress.

This is why frequency matters.

Training three times per week creates a rhythm:

  • stress

  • recovery

  • adaptation

Too little training and the signal fades.
Too much training and recovery is compromised.

Between sessions, your body:

  • rebuilds tissue

  • improves coordination

  • increases capacity

That work is invisible.
But it is essential.

The Prescription Club respects this.

Three sessions per week leaves space for adaptation.
Six weeks allows adaptations to stack.

Fitness is not built by grinding every day.
It is built by repeating a sustainable pattern.

Show up.
Recover.
Repeat.

That is how it lasts.
