CrossFit Terms
"W.O.D." - Workout of the Day
WOD's are pre-programmed (by CrossFit certified Jetty staff) workouts, instructor led, functional, intense workouts... that are constantly changing and never the same. They are designed for universal scalability, intended to be all inclusive.
Benchmark WOD
Workout that is used as a baseline to measure progress, usually named after women, such as Fran, Diane, and Grace.
AMRAP: As many repetitions as possible
AMRAP workouts are timed with a fixed time limit in which you need to do As Many Reps As Possible. The higher the number, the better!
EMOM: Every Minute, On the Minute
Another type of workout with a fixed time limit is EMOM, or every minute on the minute. These workouts are also scored as how many reps you can do overall, but note that as time goes on your rest periods will likely get shorter!
RX: As prescribed
The goal for any crossfitter is to be able to do the workouts RX’ed, or as prescribed. Since Crossfit workouts can be scaled based on abilities the goal is to work your way up to what the workout is supposed to be like. Examples of scaling could be using a lighter weight, completing less repetitions, or doing assisted pull-ups.
PR: Personal Record
With any workout or lift, the goal is to strive for a PR, or personal record. This is a great way to measure progress and track results!
