RX (as it relates to workouts)

In the context of workouts, "RX" stands for "prescribed" and refers to completing an exercise routine exactly as designed, without modifications. It is commonly used in CrossFit and other fitness programs to indicate the standard weights, reps, or movements that are recommended for that workout. Completing an RX workout demonstrates a certain level of fitness and skill. However, participants are encouraged to adjust based on their individual capabilities, using scaled options if needed, to ensure safety and effectiveness in their training.
