Parkour Tip of the Day

Learning Parkour is tough and dangerous, but this is no reason why you shouldn’t include some of its moves in your training.  One of the drills I enjoy the most from parkour are the stability exercises like cat balance and precision jumps (might have to register to view this or you can watch this video).  These two exercises are a wicked way of strengthening the core, and developing six pack abs, while having a cool goal.

The best way to learn parkour tricks is patience.  Learning these things takes time.  On youtube there are some good to tutorials that have a step by step process.  DON’T SKIP ANY STEPS!!!  Before you go from one step to the next be sure you have enough confidence in yourself.  Lack of confidence in this sport, and others like gymnastics, can make you hesitate and get injured.

Another tip I wanted to give you is, “don’t underestimate the small frame most traceurs have”.  These guys and gals are strong.  Down below I have a couple of parkour conditioning videos that will help you develop the strength and power necessary to pull off some of these stunts.

My last tip would be, ” BE CAREFUL”. I don’t want to lose any readers. If you have a gym near by where you can train, go ahead and sign up, or look up a parkour group in your home town.  Parkour is very popular nowadays, there might be some good instructors in your area.

Want to Learn Parkour

I bet there are various good programs out there, but I have only followed two sources:  American Parkour and Learn more Parkour.  Both of them have free tutorials, which really help you learn how to do the tricks.
