CrossFit transformed my fitness — specific results after 4 months

I track everything, so here are actual results after 4 months of CrossFit: significantly improved cardiovascular fitness, noticeable strength gains, and a flexibility improvement I didn't expect. None of that came from a gym program — it came from learning wall balls and understanding AMRAP.

Open season competition was the qualitative thing I didn't expect to measure but felt clearly. The jump rope cost was about what I expected. kipping movements causing injury if rushed is real — I had to adjust my schedule around it. For pure fitness return on time investment, CrossFit is hard to beat.
