FAQ
Once you have the SUGARWOD app (see your email), check out the Workout of the Day for Radial Home Fitness. You’ll see the Full Gym & Bodyweight versions right at the top followed by warm ups & movement videos. Once you read through the day, figure out what equipment you need to start your warm up (if any) and get going!
Please don’t skip a proper warm up – treat it as if it’s part of the workout itself!
Sometimes you’ll see abbreviations such as the following:
EMOM – Every Minute on the Minute
AMRAP – As Many Reps as Possible
We’re a big fan of the Gym Next Flex timer clock (and app) for tracking workout times. If you download the app, it’s free to use without an external display, or you can head to their website to purchase a physical clock for your workout space.
With this being said – any simple timer will do the trick if you’re not into fancy apps.
No problem. There are always way we can work around a limitation or injury*. Feel free to reach out to myself, Coach Amanda, on Slack as soon as you follow the link above and join our group! I’m always ready and willing to work with you on modifications.
*I highly recommend finding a trusted Physical Therapist or Chiropractor to work with on treating an injury as we’re not trained to heal injuries, but these professionals can work with you or point you to a doctor if additional care out of their scope of practice is needed.
Form is SO important and always trumps speed when you’re working out. An injury is never worth the set back in exchange for a good score.
Not sure you’re doing a movement right? Shoot us a video and send via IG to @radialhomefitness_members OR message on Slack directly to Coach Amanda. We’re always available to critique your movements and provide feedback so you can be confident.
First off, we honestly don’t really care too much if you’re scaled or RX as long as you did the work so take a deep breath and relax. Logging those scores does help keep you accountable and we love to be able to encourage you along the way so don’t skip it!
Know that we encourage scaling around here so if you can’t do a movement “RX” yet – don’t stress!!!
RX = I did the workout as it was written (FULL GYM or BODYWEIGHT) with the weights/movements prescribed. Now, since we’re all working out from home and have a variety of equipment available – if you do a workout with Dumbbells for instance, but it still equals the RX weight – definitely put RX.
Also, if I give you cardio options (for example, a bike instead of a row) of course in the ideal you’d do it as written, but if you need to do the bike or run, as long as you do the prescribed distance – it’s RX.
SCALED = I modified the movements and/or weights that were written. This one is fairly self explanatory I think. If you’re still working on push-ups so you drop to your knees or the prescribed weight for a workout isn’t within your wheelhouse yet, scale!
