Forget the Gym – Check Out This Urban Parkour Training and Conditioning Video


This video demonstrates a number of incredibly great bodyweight workouts – some of which I’ve never seen before, but will definitely be adding to my own routines. Never even thought about doing a hop after a one legged squat (pistol). And the L-sit on the balance tape is seriously wicked.

The two man partner exercises might also be good for a class (although I did go to a Crossfit class in San Fran once where someone took a serious header during a fireman lift/walk team WOD – ugh… that was aweful). The two man squat reminds me of these donkey calf raises (lol).

Granted, some of these exercises are somewhat advanced and/or require an urban landscape appropriate for them, but trainers take note – the gentlemen from Norther Parkour have a lot of great exercises that can be incorporated into your programs.

    This is excellent. Getting in shape can be a ton of fun if you do stuff like this. The funny thing about bodyweight exercises and the like is that you gain a full body awareness as well as great overall strength the more you do.

    Great video and cool site!

    Wow!!!! I am a personal trianer and a gym owner and I consider myself to be in fairly good shape. However, after watching this video I am feeling a bit weaker. LOL. My jaw dropped when Paul did a set of pull ups into a dip on that piece of steal!!! That was incredible. This urban workout is definately for someone who is definately very advanced in their training. Love the video!!! Keep them coming.

    This is a great post, but how come you chose to do a “DoFollow” without a spam check? Do you not think you will get less spam with that? On our blog right now I have to use Dofollow to use AJAX on the main page otherwise it messes up the platform, I’m very upset with this resolution because I could keep all the linkjuice to myself.Anyway, I really like your comment.php and stylesheet
