Basic Parkour Movements

Warm Up:

The aim of a warm up is to gradually get your whole body prepared for work. An effective warm up will:

•       Prevent injury to muscles, tendons and ligaments.
•       Prepare the body for specific exercises.
•       Increase blood flow and temperature of muscles so they will react quicker.
•       Allow a greater range of movement of joints.

Warm Up Routine:

No rest between sets.

Parkour Training:

Today we are going to perform four leg movement called Quadrupedal Movement and Crab Walks followed by Parkour Rolls. These will strengthen your muscles and help you in developing coordination.

Parkour Training Routine:

After every set take [1~2 min] gap and 5 min gap between exercises.

Exercise	Minimum	Maximum
Quadrupedal Movement	4 sets	3 sets
Forward	5 steps	10 steps
Backward	5 steps	10 steps
Left	5 steps	10 steps
Right	5 steps	10 steps
Crab Walk	4 sets	3 sets
Forward	5 steps	10 steps
Backward	5 steps	10 steps
Left	5 steps	10 steps
Right	5 steps	10 steps
Parkour Rolls	2 sets	3 sets
Left	5 steps	10 steps
Right	5 steps	10 steps

Conditioning:

These are body weight exercises and they mainly increase strength and performance. Make sure to go at your own pace. If you can’t finish described Repetitions or sets its totally fine as we are just at the beginning and developing core strength takes time. Moreover everyone are at a Different Strength Levels so few may take more repetitions than other but remember one thing doing less repetitions with good form (posture) is better than doing more repetition with bad form (posture) so take your time and perform these exercises.

Conditioning Routine:

After every set take [1~2 min] gap (rest) and 5 min gap (rest) between exercises. [But this is not a compulsion as these are tough exercises take your own rest time is advisory].

Exercise	Minimum	Maximum
leg Raise	3 sets of 5 repetition	3 sets of 10 repetition
Plank Push Up	3 sets of 5 repetition	3 sets of 10 repetition
Dips	3 sets of 5 repetition	3 sets of 10 repetition
Calf Raise	3 sets of 5 repetition	3 sets of 10 repetition

If you can’t perform these exercises then try to perform negative’s (examples negative pull ups, negative push ups and so on) or you can also perform supported exercises like supported pull up, push ups using knee support etc….

Stretch Routine:

1. Sitting Ham String Stretch
2. Left Ham String Stretch
3. Right Ham String Stretch
4. Cross Over Hip Stretch
5. Butterfly Stretch
6. Side Quad Stretch (both sides)
7. Standard Split Stretch
8. Sitting Split Hamstring Stretch
9. Hip Flexor (both sides)
10. Kneeling Hamstring (both sides)
11. Calf Stretch (both sides)
12. Forearm Stretch (both sides)

These are some Basic Stretch Exercises but i would suggest to develop your own Stretch Program as we move along the Program. Due to time constrain i couldn't do this part so i randomly compiled one for you this would work for a week but modifications are required.
