fat man going buck on the local jungle gyms
[QUOTE=PyroCraz3d;34289107]That's how I do situps though. Crunches, I just lift my legs in the air in a v shape, and hold them while I do basic sit ups. That's how my friend does it and he's been working out for a long time now, so I just did what he did. Not sure how tall I am, but I think I'm 170lbs or so? It's weird because I am actually kind of flexible.. not too much, but more than I should be for being 170 lbs.[/QUOTE] those arent situps, and those arent crunches afaik. also, weight is not very helpful without height. measure yourseld, now

[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-intensity_interval_training[/url] All you need boyo. Also some pullups and general strength but HIIT is the main thing for running and sprinting.
assuming he can even do hiit correctly he needs to remember to do it only 2-3 times a week, literally every study on hiit ive ever read shows that it realyl starts to be kinda crap after 3-6 weeks . but in the time prior it cna have massive benefits

Kinda late but if you think that just eating one meal is causing you to gain weight back then it means you aren't working hard enough/burning enough calories.
[QUOTE=PyroCraz3d;34297913]3 sets of 25 situps 3 sets of 15 crunches 3 sets of 6 jumps, extend arms and legs 5 sets of 7 sec holds 3 sets of 10 JumpingJacks to 10 Pushups 3 sets of 10 pullups on couch, legs up [WEIGHTS] 2 sets of 10 curls one in each hand 3 sets of bicep curls 20 times 3 sets of arm lifting 10 times -- This is my list so far, I'm adding more exercises to it once I find out some more. Also, I add 5 situps and crunches every 2-3 days.[/QUOTE] or you could not do that stupid shit and go to the gym......
[QUOTE=nucksfanman;34332160]or you could not do that stupid shit and go to the gym......[/QUOTE] Hmm no. Parkour needs better body awareness which is built through calisthenic exercise more so than lifting freeweights. Lifting a weight doesn't translate well to Parkour. Also, it tends to be easier to condition for endurance over strength when you're using bodyweight considering the amount of repetitions needed to produce results, going to the gym for weights primarily focuses on mass/strength conditioning - which, although is incredibly useful for most sports, wouldn't apply fantastically to Parkour. That said, there still should be some element of resistance involved through training, be it a weight vest or free weights themselves.

You need pretty much everything for parkour, which is why it's a hard sport to learn.

You're probably not in North Carolina, but you can head over to Charlotteparkour.com and email them with any questions you have. The guys really know their stuff, and we're not just a bunch of goofs running around for no reason. They're really knowledgeable and would gladly offer any help.
You dont need to be fit to do parkour at all, whilst training, your exercising which is enough for your body to get used to it, so you'll actually get fit by training. I do parkour and freerunning too.
