Quadrupedal Movement (Gallop) - Parkour Training and Conditioning Exercise

[Primape92]

How exactly does this develop quicker reaction?

[Primape92]

DEVELOPS QUICKER REACTION?!?!? Now that is the type of benefit I'm looking for!

[jessiepigen14]

sorry but you like a monkey

[VidMasterZ]

Looks more like a crab walk, going sideways like that.

[osOsito9994]

Should I do this after running with my cardio or just do QM?

[DemonDrills]

@osOsito9994 running, jump rope, QM, and climbing are all great forms of cardio for parkour.

[osOsito9994]

@DemonDrills But should I do them all in one session like for example: Run 30mins/30 minsQM, Jump rope 15 mins/run30 mins etc.?

[thrashermario]

wear a monster suit for halloween and crawl around in it

[Fucknomutilisateur]

Fucking Monkey.

[HariVIyer]

the music makes it perfect

[asianstrength]

how to be a monkey

[styxtap]

Anyone who's staring is jealous, and pissed they cant be as cool as you.

[SoulofPhoenix]

lol....so fudging cuute lol

[Traibaizler]

Can it be used as some sort of Cat Balance?

[ChucklesJack]

@Traibaizler Yeah, I use it to keep my balance on walls and ledges.

[adfadfewfrewafawefaw]

thats how chimps run lol

[beebaize]

Is there any way to run like a dog? Making you faster in the process

[retrosmasher]

You look like a chimpanzee when you do this lol

[SeaND0uble]

ouu ah ahh!! lol

[LogicBrah]

the people on that side walk must have thought you were crazy lol

[Turtluver4u]

why would u do is sideways?

[bloodcorer]

are u ape?



[shenkeey]

Sentence that comes to mind while watching this:''My preciouuuuusss''

[WellyPheonix]

Go monkey Go

[Gatillquet]

We do that in my Kung Fu class, its part of the Monkey system, really works on the legs like you wouldn't believe

[heavenhell86]

@ananimux: doing it this way is simple to pick up, and safer. If he falls like this a roll isn't that hard to pull off. He could most likely pull his head and arm in and roll over his shoulder. If you land incorrectly on your hands you'll probably face plant. This also allows controlled movement, since he'd have no issue coming to a sudden halt rather than trying to control his momentum from such aggressive motions if he needs to suddenly stop.

[HardStylePheoX]

i did it for the first time and i did it only for like 20-30 secs around the room, when i stopped my legs were so heavy! anyway good exersice thAnks!

[daimondylan]

erm realy strange this move

[thomashatcher]

Nice loping. That's the way to do it. Turn a little sideways. You should rig up some gloves or wear karate gloves. How fast can you run 100 yards? I did it in 27 seconds.

[j4ckyb01]

people who see you are instantly gunna think "is this boy confused? he seems to think he's a monkey,throw him a fucking banana!"

[BABYpuncher93]

he looks like one of the flying monkeys from the wizard of oz

[strings86]

reminds me of planet of the apes!  LOL

[Ananimux]

i can do this twice as fast without looking like a crab. when i do the quadrupedal sprint, i basically run like a cat by jumping with my legs and landing on my hands and so on. its much faster.

[Parkourforlife01]

@Ananimux I know what you mean, that's the way I do it aswell, but I put one hand down first then the other, otherwise it'll be like a bunnyhop. More of a gallop, but still hand - hand - foot - foot, like you said. Much faster

[0SweetRevenge0]

This, my friends, is a half-pass ^^

[ReinaEquina]

TEHEHE I know! I was thinking the same thing xD

[0SweetRevenge0]

Awesome, horsey-people ^^ *high fives*

[Dark2NeS]

0.0 WHOA...thats looks cool, is this some kind of super bear crawl or something?

[bgcorporation]

Damn it looks like you are on your fingertips.

[BRADARISTA]

ok its training but if some1 sees u doing it theyl think, wtf

[Adammarr111]

Well if you actually care then you probably should not be doing parkour because at some point someones gonna be like wtf are you doing, the sooner you don't care the sooner you get better etc

[parkourdude100]

@Adammarr111 too true, too true. Too many a time have prospective traceurs who might actually have talent been driven back by the socially alienating stares and looks of our mortal brethren.

[Teendayday007]

yeah...wat he said...

[romelloWilliams11]

why do u have to do it side ways can u do it strait on ?

[dakaodo]

See MaxSafeheaD's comment below. I think the angle helps keep your legs from running into your elbows.

At least, that's what I feel happening when I try to do it straight on.

[romelloWilliams11]

k thanks man

[Fidellio13]

The angle makes it much more smooth and quick.

[hflat1]

You don't have to do it sideways. It's just another way to train.

[nickvogel]

you look like smeagol from lord of the rings lol!

[taylorpelto]

lulz! what a workout, man. It doesn't look hard until you try it...

[MaxSafeheaD]

It's wierd how it's easier at a slight angle.

Then again monkeys do the same =)

[SpiritHunterTheWolf]

i can do that 7=¬)

[IAmCayro]

but i'll try it(^_-)d

[IAmCayro]

what a monkey man

[bindthebutler]

cool doesnt this hurt your back?

[DemonDrills]

no, why would it?

[bindthebutler]

i dunno just hurts mine i guess!

looks pretty cool though

[DemonDrills]

what hurts and how does it hurt it? if it hurts, i would say you are doing it wrong. your problem may be that you are rounding your back too much. notice the straight back in this video.

[bindthebutler]

yeh i think i am doing it wrong

ill try to staighten my back

cheers guys

[NinjaFox97]

@DemonDrills yeah ok but how the hell r u supposed to tell if ur back is straight? u cant just turn and look at ur back that would mess it up! i used to run on all fours a few years just cuz i was crazy 8D but i would get tired and hurt after like 10 seconds maybe cuz im so outta shape...
