A practical judgement of how prepared someone is to train based on performance, soreness, sleep, motivation and health.
Why Training readiness matters
Readiness can guide small day-to-day adjustments without abandoning the longer programme after one imperfect day.
A practical example
Keeping the exercises but reducing load when warm-up sets feel unusually slow and technique is unstable.
Common mistake
Letting a watch score override clear symptoms, pain or actual performance.
Keep the context in mind.
Training and nutrition terms describe general principles. The right exercise, intensity or food target still depends on your experience, health, goals and schedule.
Personalised coaching
Apply the principle to your own training.
A definition is useful, but your programme still needs to match your experience, schedule, recovery and goals.
