DRS STRONG WEEK 69: HOW TO DIFFFERENTIATE BETWEEN RX AND MODIFIED WORKOUTS SO YOU CAN SCALE ACCORDINGLY?
Rosario Rios Aguilar • Jan 18, 2016
""Make measurable progress in reasonable time.""
This week is all about understanding what a modified workout is and RX. It is easy to get caught up with having to RX every workout, but the importance of the workout is the focus and the stimulus intended for that workout. If the workout is supposed to be a fast workout for most, but attempting the RX weight or movement standards is slowing you down so much that your stimulus has changed completely. What do you do then? Probably best to go faster and less weight! but in some workouts the purpose is to grind through heavier weights and have a slower pace. At the end of the day, us coaches help you decided what is best for you but you only go as fast and heavy as TECHNIQUE ALLOWS. If you think this way, your longevity in workouts will be more positive and you will learn how to move properly in a measurable progress =)
We asked few of our members that have been in both ends, having to modify a lot and now hitting the RX workouts.!
By the way how awesome does it feel when you do RX for the first time and it is LEGIT!! WOOH big high five to those that did that this week =)!!
Here are some few tips and opinions..

Why do we hesitate to do things we want to do? What makes us scared? We might never have the answers to a lot of questions, and believe me I love questions haha! But what I do know is that we are only here with an expiration date so why not go and seek adventure and do the things we are afraid of doing and trying. Anything worthwhile is both scary but yet super empowering. The thrill of doing something out of your comfort zone, outside of your circle, speaking in front of thousands, singing out loud, the saying dance like nobody is watching! so so true for all of us! Look at yourself in the mirror and appreciate every part of you. Dig deep in your own feeling and your own brain. Share the love of something with someone you choose. Read poems, do the photoshoot you have always wanted, sky dive ( never have I ever haha) Get in the gym and kick your butt! don't be afraid to be the last one of the class, it won't be for long! Talk on the phone more often, ask your crush on a beach walk :) anything that you always have wanted to do. LET'S GOOOOOO!!!! Stay Strong, DRS Strong! Coach RRA
