2. Free running or parkour new york is one of the most
exciting physical hobbies that one can be able to take
up. One is probably familiar with this art as the art of
running and doing stunts while quickly sprinting through
sidewalks and streets. For those who are interested in
this art, here are some ways to be able to get started.
3. Now take note that in order to do all of those stunts, it is
a requirement that one would condition his body very
well first so that he will be able to take the activity. He
should do exercises like push ups, sit ups, pull ups,
squats and definitely a lot of stretching exercises. He has
to make sure that he is both strong and flexible in order
to jump around and do tumbling.
4. Now when one starts out his training, probably the first
thing that he will learn would be how to jump the
correct way. Jumping is one of the most basic moves in
parkour because it is also probably one of the moves
that will be used almost all of the time. While one
continues the training, he has to slowly increase the
distance of his jumping so he will be able to handle
harder stunts.
5. One of the most important set of techniques that one
will have to learn would be none other than landing
techniques. If one does not learn the proper way of
landing after he lands from a high jump, then he will
seriously hurt his legs. One of the techniques for landing
would be to really bend the legs until one already does a
squat.
6. The next basic move that one will be learning when he
starts off this activity would be the proper way to roll.
Now take note the roll can either be used as a stunt or
maybe even a landing technique. The proper way to roll
would be to let the shoulder touch the ground when
rolling so the head does not get affected and will not get
hurt.
7. Climbing is one of the essences of this art because in
order to cover distance in the street, climbing over walls
will be one of the things to do. Core muscles are the key
to climbing efficiently. It is actually the core muscles that
will be able to hold the body together and even force its
way up when one is trying to climb up a wall.
8. Also, vaulting techniques will be taught because one will
be jumping over things a lot when he is free running. If
one is a beginner, he must first start by jumping over
small things first. As his training advances, then he can
use his hands to try to push himself to jump over a taller
object.
9. So if one would want to take up parkour new york, then
these are some of the things that he will be expected to
learn. However, it is very important to remember to be
extremely careful when performing stunts. If one does
not know the proper way of doing stunts, he can get
injured.
