Fitness for Parkour – Introduction and basics


If you are reading this article then either you are a fat and want to do Parkour or you are doing Parkour but want to learn a little more.

For both earlier and later ones, this article is going to help you both in getting your physic right for starting Parkour and taking it to next level.

We at Pakistan Parkour are doing Parkour from last November. Some of us achieved greater heights and some are still struggling to do that.

But we all learned to remain fit (mostly due to training and workout). But fitness and getting in shape is two different things. As most people tell the fat or those with extra meat people that they have to decrease their weight to do Parkour – that is to cross obstacles, either by vaults or precisions.
But we don’t think like that, we have a little different mindset. Based on the natural Parkour tactics, that is everyone and anyone can do Parkour.

Although, there are some aspects like you should be able to carry your weight so that you can pass the shortest distance, but with practice that all will come to you.

So start slowly and wisely.
basics of fitnessWe will be posting a timetable for all those who are new to fitness exercises. Others can follow us with the basics of Parkour tutorials.


Jumping:

  • Start by jumping (10 times daily) for the first week
  •  After one week you will feel a little lighter, increase these repetitions to 20 and increase them to 100jumps, in the next one month.

This is a basic weight loosing technique, which will help you in getting in shape for Parkour (although its not a fully exercising tutorial but it will help your legs carry your weight and increase your stamina)

Stick around for our next tutorial in which we will help you with other basic fitness exercises which we employ in our own routine.
