I'm in reasonably good shape except my lack of upper-body strength. I've played raquetball in the past and do exercises regularly, but I'm a new traceuse. Is it OK to do this conditioning and practice everyday? Typically I'll skip days (with all exercises) so my muscles can recoup, and I did start out training every other day for parkour. Would doing this every single day be bad or would it help me stay in top shape?
@osOsito9994 If so, you need to condition more! It shouldn't. It should build for the next day. With proper conditioning and proper rest it'll only make your body more efficient in it's ability to move proficiently that day.
realistically I think i am too bulky/ muscle bound for this but i am really interested in trying it. i refuse to switch my training to a smaller body type but i will see if i can learn this. i love the progressive stage that is how i take on all of my sports, snowboarding skate boarding etc. good video
I like Parkour, really much but I'm still afraid of trainning alone. I hate the thought of other people starring at me, and it make me feel weird. I know I should not care what random people think of me, but it's really mental hard for me to ignore it.
@MrIrock4life If you like Parkour, then you enjoy overcome obstacles, challenging yourself, and becoming better. Then consider this mental block of training alone as one of your obstacles, and overcome it! Use the techniques in this video to overcome this! Your goal is, feel comfortable training alone. Aaaand go!
im a reasonably fit guy, but i have a bit of a gut on me, nothing huge, but i feel like this may hold me back from being able to do more parkour than rolling and wall runs :( do you recommend that we should be at peak physical condition to parkour?
@Jakearnie all you need is to do it. Do what you feel you can, challenge yourself progressively, and believe me, your body's condition will follow.
I just got back from an ankle injury and I already jump higher than I used to BEFORE I got wounded. The trick is simply to practice often, intensely, and like the vid said, set goals and reach them
@Jakearnie There is no strict rules for parkour. The only thing holding you back is the very metal block you just decribed, its not your body its your mind. The mind is a great weakness, but parkour or freerunning can help you ease neurotic thoughts like that. I'm the same way, i constantly let overthinking things get in the way of enjoying life. That probably seems a bit deep for a reply on youtube, but no matter. Good luck with Parkour.
Very good tutorial. I like the part of "dynamic streching": I always stretch my quads before a sprint run to avoid muscular injuries, but never heard about dynamic stretch to preserve explosive performance.
A question: which dyn stretch movement best addresses quads?
Adam...I love your tutorials.Most of the Parkour-Videos in Youtube are dealing about "how to do..." but you engage yourself with things like "Motivation,Achievement and Conditioning".And i think we need more tutorials like yours (Tutorials which deal about the physical AND psychic things.)
@darkforcekiller My goal is to promote knowledge and a desire for adventure, not just give people something to copycat. Thank you for your feedback! I'm glad it's having the right effect!
So you're saying you should condition the muscles used for a technique on the same day that you try the technique in a new, more difficult setting? won't muscle fatigue from your conditioning make you unable to achieve your maximum distance or height?
It's not the only correct way, but there's nothing wrong with it. If you give yourself a little bit of time of rest between the conditioning session and your actual movement, you'll be fine. The short term fatigue won't be a problem. It's not until that night or the following day or two that your muscles truly go through the repair, that would inhibit your movement.
thank you, this was such an inspiring video and it helped me realize some things i need to do better with my training. you guys should really make more tutorials because they are usually much more helpful than any other similar ones out there. i really appreciate the fact that you guys explain every stage in detail.
How can I progress if I wanna learn the normal back- and frontflip? Isn't that a thing you just have to try? I'm scared I'm falling onto my head or back, but how should I train flips?
@LehighValleyParkour Oh interesting thank you for explaining, i'm studying french at school, i know this probably won't come up but its still nice to know. This video was very inspiring by the way. =)
@MeowsiiMcDermiit Chances are, your French teacher is familiar with the word "parcours", as it is a conjugation of "Parcourir"; a verb meaning "to pass through"
This is another amazing tutorial on how to progress in Parkour without pushing yourself into a position of hurting yourself too soon, like the demo's that just show HOW the move is done. This IS how the move is done, from stretching and visualizing it, to dynamic exercises and then actually doing it after pushing yourself with smaller, similar moves. Thank you!
Hey thanks I would've never learned if I never actually took the time to listen and watch this great video. You've taught me a lot like about the stretching I've always did a cardio session then static stretching well now I've learned that your not suppose to. Thank you for this great method. Now I can progress better than ever :)
Thanks again! I was wondering wherether there were any classes in Shropshire, UK! if there is could someone reply to this! I'm desperate to get taught Parkour!
Thank you so much! I really want to train, but training alone is what I can't do ;( My cousin trains parkuor with me sometimes, but not always he wants to train... I have learned the basics like vaults and jumps, but I'm not progressing, just repeating what I can already do... Could someone reply and tell me how to learn new stuff, like flips etc.? I can't learn them by myself, but noone could do a freerunning trick or so, so the only way is to learn it myself, but how?
@HardStylePheoX Anybody can train alone. I did, for a very long time. I still enjoy training on my own. Want to know how? Then watch this vide, because it tells you. Go out, find a spot, set a goal, and train to achieve it. Simple as that. That's all Parkour is.
say you live in michigan... look up michigan parkour... or wherever you live.. you'll definitely find someone willing to train with you, training with friends is the best way to progress and learn for yourself.
you guys always make great tutorials, thanks a lot! I never really thought to focus my conditioning on specific parts of my body; I would just do everything. This makes a lot more sense.
Indescribable, really unique I really have great respect of the video, I think it is so great that someone like you closer to parkour as unique thanks for the video Greetings from Carinthia
@MrParkour713 Common man, you cant just quote a phrase and not say who said it. you are getting a lot of thumbs up and taking the credit for something David Belle said.
A few months ago, I left my parkour team. They were always pressuring me to learn all the stuff they were learning. It was almost everyday trying something new, where they told me to "just do it", no training, no practice just " do it". I left because I felt that I if I were to slow down, Think, learn what I want to learn, how and when. I could better improve myself... Months later, I still don't look back.
this video makes parkour seem like a religion, it's weird, idk, i mean it's cool but parkour isn't as much the meaning of life as it is a way to prepare your thoughts for life ahead.
@nsgfilms4u DUDE IN THE UK ARE YOU SERIOUS? Uk is one of the places i like to train i'm going there within 2 weeks, Haha u know what sucks? here in the netherlands in a small village, we have no hills at all but still i manage to train parkour just use your imagination and don't only train on sick spots only but use everything you can!
@unknownmovement I'm do parkour in the UK as well and there's very little around where I live. It's still possible though because of metal fences dotted around, small thick poles and different walls near buildings. A simple wall can be an excellent training tool if you think of what you can use it for.
@nsgfilms4u Oke conditioning is never bad, i don't do condition myself i only warm up properly before training (i'm more about flips cause we don't really have parkour opportunity's but when i go to the city i do parkour)
Uhmm you should chek out Demon drills or just type in conditioning for parkour on ytb you will find so much excercises in urban envoirment. Just do parkour and build your way up slowely parkour is condition + fun :D
Adam, you're a great traceur. These kind of videos are the one that actually can help people out there. Would be really nice if you could upload videos like this more often.
adam McC! i miss your parkour class at parkettes! this video was very inspirational and i hope that you can get that class back cuz i really need to go back thank you!
Man great vedio see im a begginer but im trying out for my highschool soccer team and I NEED condtioning im not fat but lazy is there any way to get past this. Thank you for the vedio.
This video let me know that my training method is correct. This is a really good tutorial.This give people correct concept to do parkour save.Thank for sharing.
@Flanagorn I dont agree with you. From ur words, ur doing Parkour just to overcome ur fears? I mean Yeah it helps ,but 1st u should be doing Parkour becouse u enjoy doing it ,becouse it makes u happy...Atleast that's why I am doing Parkour . And it helps to overcome ur fears while ur enjoying,traning ,while ur happy etc.. =)
mate i need to take my hobbies more seriously, this video explains why after several years of skateboarding and some other activities like that, most of my joints click, especially my ankles :/
Awesome thanks! I stopped doing parkour but every time I see a video like yours I get the motivation to go out and begin. My problem is that I am scared of falling D:
@iassen1 You fall because you're afraid to fall. Actually I forgot the quote exactly but still it is what it is. You can also start small. I'm not afraid to fall because I don't really have far to fall, I never have, nor do I have to train on roofs.
@mikenter yes I know what u mean. I have never broken a bone (mainly because I stopped doing parkour) and I don't know how it feels like, it's human nature to fear the unknown :)
@iassen1 That fear is inhibiting you. As long as you train safely and condition you'll be fine. I've been training for 2 1/2 years and my worst injury is a scrape on my shin. In that same two years I have been hit by a car, popped my shoulder out of socket in tumbling and collapsed a lung rock climbing. Parkour, as long as you're smart, is probably one of the safest sports out there.
@iassen1 Well brother, you have two choices. You can strive to overcome your fears and improve yourself as a person, or you can give into them and allow them to dictate your life. Your call.
@iassen1 just return to the 'progression state' as Adam said. Do something that you are more comfortable with and drill it. Once you get that down you will automatically push yourself and improve. It's just dedication :) good luck
