Progressive Exercise Protocol

Soreness during recovery is when collagen is actually being built; sessions should not be repeated on top of soreness. Plyometric exercises like box jumps provide an intermediate mechanical stimulus by activating collagen-producing cells through explosive loading. Skipping to advanced exercises without building the foundation risks injury and multi-day recovery setbacks. Foundation exercises (slow squats and step-down lunges) target the thighs and buttocks to apply mechanical stress directly where fascial rebuilding is needed.
