Training Your Body and Mind – Origins Parkour

Vancouverites are serious about leading a healthy lifestyle. Sports and fitness are an essential part of a Vancouver lifestyle. Parkour was developed in France by David Belle and his group of friends. It quickly became popular throughout the world. It doesn’t have any specific rules. The aim is to navigate through obstacles in urban spaces as fast as you can by running, climbing, swinging, vaulting, rolling or any movement suitable for the situation. This type of exercise trains not only the body, it also trains the mind as it involves a lot of concentration to figure out the best way to navigate through your environment by moving around, across, over or under the obstacles. It helps you overcome your fear and build self-confidence.
