Your body adapts to the stresses you put on it, folks.

To a degree. It will adapt only so far. If you give it more than it can handle on a regular basis you're doing more harm than good.

I'm talking consistent effort over years or decades though. Thinking about how your bones are constantly renewing themselves and you have a completely new set every 5-10 years is the kind of consistency I mean. Of course this would be hindered by injury or over use before can adaptations occur. You need to give yourself recovery time no matter the fitness routine or athletic level.
