Six months of CrossFit — here is what actually changed

I started CrossFit six months ago with zero background in the sport. The first few weeks were humbling — I couldn't do double-unders properly and had no idea what Fran even meant. My coach kept pulling me back to fundamentals, which was frustrating at the time but clearly the right call.

By month three something shifted. first muscle-up milestone. That was the moment I understood why people stick with this. The jump rope investment was worthwhile — don't cheap out on that. kipping movements causing injury if rushed is real and took me longer than I expected to work through. If you're thinking about starting, just go. The learning curve is real but so are the rewards.
