Welcome and hello! This is the Sunday blog.  My opportunity to dispense information to the awesome people of Apollo.  This week’s topic involves that infamous RX symbol we see on the whiteboard.  For those of you who may be newer, the RX symbol refers to doing a workout “prescribed.”  It’s very easy to think doing a workout “prescribed” is going to yield better results than if we don’t.  That is not the case.  Instead, it’s intensity during our workout that helps us achieve the improvements we desire.  This is a very important distinction.  Today’s article will help clarify those differences so we can get our best workout each day.

The Sunday blog is back!  Today’s topic is stretching.  Every week I post a reminder to stretch a little during your free time.  The importance of this cannot be overstated.  The majority of Crossfitters deal with a lot of soreness, tightness and general immobility as the week of training goes on.  If we aren’t addressing these issues then we can’t expect these problems to get better.  The simple solution in creating a habit of stretching on a regular basis.  This week’s article is written by Bill Star, he talks about optimizing performance through both warming up and stretching.  Hope you guys enjoy!
