Are Cheat Meals Really Cheating?
The "Cheat Meal" is something you can look forward to as a way to reward yourself for eating clean and working hard in the gym. But as the name implies, is it really cheating?

The Rx Factor: 3 Reasons Why You Should Scale Your WODs

One of the best things about doing CrossFit is it's scalability, which makes it accessible to pretty much anyone. Most of us have scaled WODs, especially in those first few months of training; but as you become stronger and fitter you may opt to do your WODs Rx. The attraction and desire to do a workout Rx comes down to the challenge. The heavier weights, extra reps, or challenging movements puts your fitness to the test. This mindset can lead to a belief that in order to be a better athlete ALL your WODs need to be done Rx. This is not necessarily true, and Breaking Muscle explains why you might be better off scaling some workouts.
