As a training discipline which uses movement and works on the body on all levels, parkour requires practitioners to get from one point to another in a complex environment without assistive equipment, and in the fastest and efficient way possible.

It finds its origins from a military obstacle course training. Developed in the 1980s by Raymond and David Belle, parkour includes various forms of athletics such as free-running, climbing, leaping, swinging and jumping across and over obstacles which can be practised alone or in a group by practitioners who are also called tracers or traceurs.

Here’s how parkour can help with the help of a good instructor.

Parkour is said to improve flexibility and stamina as well as build strength. It is in fact, an all-round fitness activity.

As a full-body workout, it helps improve cardiovascular endurance, increases bone strength, boosts confidence and builds core strength. One’s obstacle-taking ability is also improved.

The skill-related fitness routine is a must-try for those looking to challenge themselves as it helps to clear one course or obstacles in multiple ways. This promotes quick-thinking skills and helps one to think on their feet.
