Free running changes all of this. Parkour is an art of movement that has its roots in France. It is a practice that demands a high level of discipline. Free running does not view objects in the urban environment as buildings, sidewalks, and railings; it views these objects as opportunities. In training in free running, one is able to increase their physical abilities dramatically, from flexibility to strength to agility. Free running is the ultimate exercise. And the best part is that doing it is incredibly fun. Noted free runner Zach Rucker guides you through the amazing world of free running, teaching you how to train to be a free runner as well as running through the basic moves and a few of the more advanced moves. Learning about the benefits of free running has never been easier! Then you can start reading Kindle books on your smartphone, tablet, or computer - no Kindle device required.

ChicagoBar 1.0 out of 5 stars It's a scam. It's like the author copy pasted the same 3 paragraphs that are neither useful or informative. You can learn more about parkour and free running by spending 10 minutes on google. There are no illustrations or instructions that are helpful. Sadly, some of the information is contradictory to itself. The feeble attempts at instruction are generic and not useful.http://www.lakepulaski.com/cms_uploads/husky-power-washer-hu80522-manual.xml

For example, Basic Move 4: Landing and Falling, the author cautions you to figure out where you're going to land before you jump and then goes on to recommend that you land with the balls of your feet touching the ground first, and when you contact the ground bend your knees further but don't over do it so you can roll in a diagonal direction to break your fall. Get on google for 10 minutes and you'll be able to write a better book than this. Let me know if you do, I might like to buy it.This may be useful for a kid, but if you have any athletic ability whatsoever, you will be sorely dissappointed.The only Parkour move described or illustrated throughout the whole book is the guy on the front cover, the history of Parkour looks and sounds like it has been downloaded from wiki, and then the second half of the book is about a diet with a fancy name which is ridiculous because I bought a book to improve my Parkour not a book to tell me about how eating more fruit and veg is good for me. So to all those of you reading this review.How can a beginners guide to free running have no pictures, little details about the basic movements and have half the pages dedicated to ketone diet advice.

Yes, you can start exercising with some basic parkour movements if being glued on a treadmill seems like death. After all, we encourage the following: We encourage bodyweight training here at NF, and that’s what parkour is built around! You pass or traverse a barrier in whatever way suits you and the moment; there’s no one prescribed method for anything. At its broadest definition, it implies a low-impact and considerate attitude towards bosses, co-workers, family, friends, driving, consumer purchases, and the environment (natural or manmade). These movements can be used to traverse certain obstacles more rapidly or aggressively, but their use in parkour is ultimately dictated by need. Do I have to be in shape for Parkour? I’m still overweight. But by developing a traceur’s eye ( a traceur is somebody who practices parkour, by the way ), you’ll begin to see different ways over or around it, depending on conditions. Plenty of people in the PK community NEVER do anything even remotely dangerous.” Any traverse or passement rapidly becomes challenging when you have to do it at a dead sprint. Your mind will know whether you trained a hundred jumps and landings this past week, or whether you slacked off and played Xbox for three hours daily. Instead, learn your body, and you will be able to learn parkour.http://service.mobile.radiofann.com/node/3409254 I like to think of it as becoming antifragile. Start with bodyweight rows: If some or all of this list is too hard, reduce your reps per set for the hard exercise(s) until you can do two sets. Think “explosive” here, which is critical for parkour. Get it free when you sign up in the box below: No Gym Required! Jump from the ground up to one step, then two, then three, etc. For you to stay safe and minimize the damage and injury from stumbles and falls, you need to be as fit as you can afford to be (in terms of time and willingness). This trains not only the strength but the reflexes to use those muscle motions in the 0.1 second when you trip on a wall or rail in mid-air and come tumbling down. However, they are almost always because someone got a little overconfident and pushed beyond their current training and ability. Respected traceurs may not be flashy, could they can also report not breaking any bones in their years of training. Choosing to do them well isn’t important. Falling and rolling when completely surprised and off-balance is what’s important. Skip anything that’s too challenging, and come back to it in a week or so. Your body can only be as strong as its weakest muscle when it comes to parkour, so make sure you are well balanced. Good, now watch a few more videos for motivation and inspiration: A simple google search for “parkour” or “free-running” plus your town name will generally turn up a group that practices in your area.

There’s a lot of B.S. out there about fitness. We’re working to put a stop to it. We don’t blame you, it looks like fun right. Parkour is a mysterious, exciting, cool looking sport that we’ve all wished we could do. But how do you get from sitting on the couch to leaping from buildings. In all seriousness, there’s a process at work. But it’s not one that’s restrictive. Anyone can do it, it just takes time, effort, and a little bit (a lot, actually) of practice. There are some simple moves to learn, some simple steps to take, but if you want to do it, you can start to do and be in the thick of it by tomorrow. And trust me, once you start, it’s tough to stop. Though, there’s no real reason to. Parkour is great exercise for both the body and the mind, you’ll end up meeting lots of great people, and it’s lots of fun. And so long as you’re sensible, it’s not actually that dangerous. So, what do you say. Read to jump right in and find out how to learn parkour. Pun definitely intended.

The Differences Between Parkour And Free Running. Does Age, Size Or Weight Matter For Parkour. How To Get Started In Parkour Or Free Running. Do I Need A Coach? Interview With Freerunner Pontus Karlsson Beginner Training For Parkour What To Expect: How Long Will It Take. Wow, isn’t that a loaded question. For some, it’s the art of transition and fluidity. For others, a way to train your body and mind. And for the fanatical few, basically a religion. Parkour effectively turns an urban (or suburban and even wild) environment, into a playground. Bus shelters become things you can flip off. Alleyways become spaces you can leap across. Walls become obstacles to surmount. But buried among that seeming randomness, the act of repurposing the mundane into something exciting, there is much, much more. Parkour is a demanding, physical sport with a high-risk, seemingly little-reward exchange going on. So why do people hurl themselves off things. Probably for the same reason we choose to fly down icy slopes on pieces of laminated wood. The same reason we built jumps in the dirt and then fly off them on bicycles. Because it stirs something within us, and makes us feel alive. The differences between parkour and freerunning When it comes down to it, they’re not exactly apples and oranges. Parkour is the functional side of things, and free-running emphasises the stylistic side of things. Parkour evolved from the use of military assault courses, and the techniques employed by those who ran them. It seems at some point, a dude looked at a big wall, watched his buddies scrambling over it in their camo pants, and was like, woah, I bet I could do a backflip off that thing. And the rest, as they say, is history. Well, not really. But this is generally viewed as the way that parkour and freerunning differentiated themselves from one another. And while the terms are used interchangeably, there are probably a few sticklers out there who insist on the difference — as vague as it is — and knowing might just help you out one day. Does age, size, or weight matter for parkour. It’s a difficult line to draw, but generally, you’re never too young, old, big, small, heavy, or light, to enjoy a little bit of parkour. The sport itself has no official bar-of-entry, so to say. In the same way that the guys running around in the huge stadiums are playing soccer, and those kids in the street are too, parkour is just as accessible. The pros make it look easy, sure. But when it comes down to it, it’s about fun. And if you’re enjoying vaulting a single railing, or you’re just working on your rolls, then heck, that’s cool too. We all start somewhere. So no matter what age or size you are, you can do it too. It’s important, though, to listen to your body. Knowing your limits and pushing them go hand in hand. And like with most sports, attempting too much, too soon, is a great way to get yourself injured. But heck, let’s not put a downer on things just yet. How about we focus on starting first. How to get started in parkour or free running Starting anything can be tough — especially when it comes to a new hobby, which usually tends to come with an equipment list as long as your arm and enough zeroes to make your wallet ache, right there in your pocket. But luckily, free-running doesn’t have a laundry list of items to acquire before you start out, and it’s more than likely that you already have suitable equipment and clothing at home. At the very least, to get started. Get the right gear: Clothing, shoes, and everything else When it comes to gearing up for free-running, that boils down to where you are in the world, the kind of terrain you’re going to be working with, and ultimately, what you’re going to be doing. Footwear Though for us, the main thing is what’s on the bottom of your shoes. Now, those low slung skate shoes might seem like a good idea because you can feel every bump and ridge under your feet. But that also means less impact protection and padding, and less support. So what about walking boots. Plenty of ankle support, good padding, lots of grip. Perfect, right? Not really, as you need to be mobile, and having a heavy, chunky boot isn’t going to help with your agility. Running shoes Running shoes have a few key components that make them ideal for parkour. Firstly, they tend to be padded in terms of their insole, have a foam cushioned outsole, and when it comes to road-running shoes, they have grippy, soft-rubber treads that are designed to interact with and hold onto concrete, tarmac, and other urban surfaces. As they’re designed to take that hard impact of your foot hitting a road or pavement, they will really help to reduce the stress and fatigue put on your heels and ankles, and also reduce the risk of injury, too. But what about other running shoes. Trail-running shoes Trail-running shoes will have harder rubber treads designed to grip on looser, or wet surfaces — like trails — so they can be a good choice if you live in a wetter climate, or are doing lots of your freerunning and parkour in extra-urban environments where you’re going from concrete to grass a lot, or are even having fun in the wild. Gym shoes Gym shoes, tennis shoes, or anything designed to be worn primarily indoors can be a good choice providing you’re using them in dry conditions. These shoes tend to work best with rubber matting or other non-slip surfaces like a gym floor, so when things get damp outside, they can be pretty dangerous, especially on those precision jumps. As such, we always say that a road-running trainer has the best all-around attributes to tackle most conditions, and will soften the blows to your joints and bones. Clothing Okay, that’s one component of your freerunning gear ticked off. What about the rest of it. As freerunning and parkour is as much about the aesthetics as it is about the fun, you’re not likely to see anyone running around with kneepads and a helmet on. As well as restricting movement, it can also be uncomfortable, and in the case of helmets, can reduce your field of vision. So what do you wear instead. Weather permitting, we’d say that a pair of flexible, breathable trousers is a good choice. Sweat pants or gym pants are always good as they’re designed to move with you. Stay away from jeans or other heavy and stiff items like chinos. You want to move freely, remember. It’s in the name, after all. A long-sleeve tee is always a good choice, but a short sleeve works too. Basic training: Getting in shape While lots of things are changeable in parkour, one thing you can’t escape is the physical toll it will take on your body. The fitter you are, the better. Not just cardio, not just strength, but fit for the sport. But what does that mean then, when we talk about parkour. What’s the right type of fitness. Most parkour lines tend to be just a few moves long. You find a spot, you session it, you move on. So if you can run a half marathon, it’s not really that useful when you’re talking about ten second bursts. Sure, you may go for a longer run from time to time, but those usually involve a lot of jogging across open spaces, going from one feature to the other. Not exactly exhilarating. As such, it’s best to focus on the parts of your body that will get used a lot. We think that the key to good parkour fitness is a mixture of explosive strength and cardio-vascular endurance in about an eighty-twenty mix. The explosive strength is what you need to make that jump, pull yourself up a wall, or really get some distance into that vault, but the cardio side of things comes down not so much to how long you can sustain yourself at a constant pace, but how quickly you can recover from each sequence. It’s about the efficient reoxygenation of muscles, and a steady blood flow to the brain. These two things are what your cardio level will unlock, and are super important. Cardio is what will ensure that your explosive strength and mental focus don’t drop off quickly. And no matter where you are, you can do them too. Even if you’re unable to leave your house. The explosive jump The Explosive Jump is a basic move that can be done onto anything that’s above knee height, but preferably sort of hip or even waist height once you get the hang of it. Start small and work your way up. It might feel easy to start with, but do a hundred in a row, and then come and tell me that. This is a key exercise to help you build both strength and technique, and will directly translate to nearly every move you’ll do out there. The stronger you are, the higher you can jump, the faster you can run, and the further you can leap. The alternating lunge Building into your leg power a little more, the alternating lunge is a simple and effective technique for building up your leg muscles, and will improve both your top speed, and acceleration, as well as one-footed jumping. All of which you’ll surely need when you’re linking jumps and moves. To execute this training technique, keep both feet pointing forward, and place your dominant foot in front of you — about fifty centimetres or so. Then, lower yourself down so that your back knee is touching the floor (toes still touching the ground so the sole of your foot is pointing backwards, not up). Now, shuffle your front foot forward until your front knee forms a right angle. This will create a square of space between the ground, your rear quad, your front hamstring, and your front calf. See it? Good. This is your base position, and this is the shape that you’re aiming for. Now, clasp your hands together in front of your solar plexus (the depression between your chest muscles, just at the top of your stomach), keep your elbows in, and spring upwards without moving forwards. In the air, switch your legs, so that your rear leg is now at the front, and your front leg is now at the back. Your feet should have switched positions so that now your front leg is at that ninety degree angle with the square of space under it. Catch yourself before your back knee hits the ground, lower in a controlled manner until it touches, and then spring upwards again and switch them back. Your dominant foot should be in front again, and you should be back in your base position. Doing this on a soft surface like grass, or placing a cushion under your back knee is good to start until you can confidently catch yourself. But then, you can remove it, and start to pick up the pace. What you’re going for here is height. Jump as high as you can, as many times as you can. Each switch is half, so every time your dominant foot returns to the front, that’s one. Which will help you to build evenly. This is a great exercise that’ll get your muscles working hard, and can be done anywhere, any time. The burpee The burpee is the bane of most people’s existence, but is a great exercise to do for parkour. From a standing position, lower onto one leg and kick your other out behind you into a pushup position. Think of how a runner looks in the starting blocks. Like that. Now, kick your other leg out behind you so you’re in that full press-up or plank position. Now, from here, lower yourself so your chest is on the ground, and for the full burpee, throw your hands out to the side and lift your palms from the ground to really engage your back muscles, too. Now, bring them back in, thumbs next to your armpits, and explode upwards in one movement, getting back to your feet. This is a burpee. You just did one. Now do a thousand more. All jokes aside, this is a great strength and cardio exercise and engages lots of muscles, as well as expending a lot of energy. It helps with breathing, too, another key part of parkour. When you’ve got that nailed, you can improve your burpee by doing both feet together. So, from a standing position, crouch low with your feet together, knees to chest, place your hands at shoulder width on the ground, just in front of your toes, and then kick both feet out together into that plank position. Lower to the ground, hands out, hands in, up into a plank position, jump both feet up to that crouch again, knees to chest, and then stand. This is a proper burpee. And you can incorporate a jump in here, too. From that crouch position, explode upwards into a pencil jump, and when you land, you’ve completed one. That’s one of the best exercises you can do for your body when it comes to conditioning for parkour, and we can’t recommend it enough. The shoulder roll The Shoulder Roll is a technique and conditioning exercise that will help you build muscle memory. From a standing position, place your dominant foot forward so that the heel is just in front of the toes of the rear. Then turn your rear heel in underneath you so that your rear foot is at a forty-five degree angle. From here, crouch forward and reach your hands out in front of you, aiming at the ground about twenty to thirty centimetres in front of your front foot. Make a rough diamond shape with your thumbs and index fingers and look through it. Feel your knee come up to your chest and from here, take your leading shoulder (the one on the same side as your dominant leg), and begin to rock forward into it. Place your chin on your back shoulder, and then when you’re ready spring into a gentle roll with your leading shoulder hitting the ground first. You obviously need to put a little jump into it so that you get over, and roll through, with the line of contact on the ground running from your leading shoulder to your rear hip. As it comes into contact with the ground, hook your rear heel towards your leading hamstring, so your knee is bent at a little over ninety degrees, and then allow your leading leg to crook naturally, and your foot to connect with the ground a little ahead of your rear shin, foot forward. This is your exit position, and with your momentum from the roll, you should be able to stand up, using your rear-knee and shin to lever yourself upwards, without the use of your hands. This is the basic shoulder roll that you’re going to be using to help dissipate the energy from drops and jumps, so getting good at it now is key and also great for building up muscle memory. The backward shoulder roll Almost the reverse of the shoulder roll, the Backwards Shoulder roll takes you from a standing position, into a backwards roll, and then back to your feet. It will come in handy when you’re doing things like 180 drops or 180 vaults and can look great when done right. From a standing position, on a soft surface, lower yourself down to a crouch and then rock backwards onto your butt, with a curved back, and onto your dominant shoulder. With your legs, reach up over your head. Your dominant foot should touch down first. The outer portion of your dominant upper arm should be flat on the floor, your elbow away from your body. Your dominant hand should be right above your shoulder and next to your dominant cheek. Your head should be touching the ground, with the part just above your ear in contact. Your dominant knee should then be touching or just in front of your dominant hand, so you’re very compact on your dominant side, which you’ll need to unfurl with some power. Your rear leg should be in the air still until you begin to stand, and your rear hand should be flat on the floor, with your elbow in the air, positioned just above your dominant hand so that the tips of the fingers are directly below the heel of the other hand, with both in line at a perpendicular angle to the roll itself. From here, it’s a case of levering yourself onto your feet using your rear hand, and your dominant elbow. As you gain height, push up onto your dominant hand to finish the roll. Done slowly, this is clumsy, but with speed, it can become fast, and will be a great move to add to your quiver. Best exercises in the city When you’re able to finally get out into the city and practice some real moves, you might want to set aside some time every day for some actual training. This will help to develop your skills and muscles, and generally make you a better freerunner. The muscle up Whether you’re at the gym or in the city, the muscle up is a great exercise to help you build strength for parkour. If you find any wall, overhead railing with space above it, or anything else like that, you can practice a muscle up. Once you’re hanging onto it with your arms straight, you’re ready to go. Finding the right place to practice this is the tricky bit. For the perfect muscle up practice wall, you want to find one that’s flat and smooth (so you don’t scratch or snag yourself), and that’s around the height of your hands when your arms are straight over your head. Remember to go symmetrically. So bending your arms in the same way at the same time is key. Keep your elbows wide, and the weight on the heels of your hands for maximum leverage. The vault hop The vault hop is a simple and easy exercise that can be done in a lot of places. Find a railing or wall at around hip height and stand in front of it. Put both hands on it, and then, spring over it into a standard or dash vault — knees loosely together, to one side of your body. Now, if you land facing the same way, that’s a good way to practice doing a vault. But as this is an exercise primarily, we want to rotate one hundred and eighty degrees, and keep our hands on the wall or railing. Let your palms twist lightly on it, and then as soon as you land, start the next one. And then practice the other way. Everyone has a natural way to vault, but learning both directions is crucial. After you’ve mastered that, find something that’s stomach height. Then chest height. Increasing the height increases the strength in your chest, back, arms, and legs, and will help you out there on your runs. Keep going until you’re tired, then challenge your friends to beat your number. Or do as many as you can in a minute. Keep it fresh, you know. The hang-to-hang The Wall Hang is a basic move you’ll learn. It’s where you’re hanging on a wall, with your hands over it, and the balls of your feet braced against it. From here you can spring off or climb up, and you’ll find yourself in this position a lot. The Hang-to-Hang as you might have guessed involves finding two walls facing each other — like a walkway or something — and then going from one wall hang, to the other, by springing across the gap and rotating one hundred and eighty degrees in the air. Do this somewhere low down to start, and practice, practice, practice. It can be rough on your hands and forearms, but this is a great exercise for building both confidence and strength. And is a lot harder than it looks. Again, you’ll want to spin one way, but practising both rotational directions is key for progression. The balance bar The balance bar is pretty much what you’d expect. It’s about finding a railing or narrow wall, and practising your balance. A standard height railing is ideal for this. Stand in front of it and then spring upwards using your explosive jump (the first exercise on our list), landing both feet on at the same time. Practice until you can land on it without immediately falling off. Then keep practising until you can jump onto it and stay there. Then, practice jumping up, turning around, and then jumping down. The practice jumping up, walking along it, and jumping down. Then practice jumping up from further away. From a running start. From another railing. Landing on something narrow and keeping your balance is one of the best tools you can have in your arsenal, and should definitely be something you focus on getting nailed down before attempting any sort of jumping from anything high enough to injure yourself on. Do I need a coach? Like with most things these days, you can learn from some super talented people by watching videos online. But as with all online courses, you lack one-to-one attention, and plateauing or hitting a wall with your training can often be the result of a lack of outside perspective. In these cases, a coach, be they professional or otherwise, might be a good idea. But of course, it’s not necessary and there are lots of ways to self-teach if you don’t have the means to get your hands on professional tutelage. Teaching yourself The very reason you’re here, right. How do you teach yourself. Well, providing you haven’t skipped all the sections above, you’ll be well on your way.
