Parkour for Beginners

I love doing things that are:

 

KickAss

Cool

Challenging

Skillful

Creative

So I tried Parkour. It's actually kinda like freestyle running developed from military obstacle course training. Super awesome. The pros do all kinds of stunts but I stuck to the basics for an impromptu workout after a morning jog.

Parkour for beginners. Here's what I did,

Step one: Jump up a step.

Step 2 : Jog while picking up the speed to gain momentum.

Step 3: Jump down.

Step 4: Continue the circuit while picking up speed. Experiment with different styles of jumping.

It really beats doing lunges and cardio machines at the gym as this fun activity gives you a good cardio workout while jumps work the gluts.

Your focus when you're new at it is mantaining good balance ( jumping on and off), getting creative with jumps, and picking up the pace ( for good cardio workout).

 

Can't wait to be able to do these soon:
