Workout Wednesday: Parkour at its Finest

Hey there guys!  Workout Wednesday time!

Anyone ever heard of Parkour?  Or Free Running?  Basically, it's a philosophy; trying to get from point A to point B as quickly and efficiently as possible.  Because of that, any obstacles in the way you don't go around; you go over them, whatever they are.  

The art was founded by a man named David Belle.  He is one of the originals; he makes this stuff look so easy it's mindless.  Part strongman, part gymnast, part monkey, he epitomizes pushing the human body to its limits.  This is a man who just refused to say no.

Training with him is on my bucket list.  

To get an idea of how good this guy is, watch this video.  It's from a French movie called District B13.  While the dubbing is awful, that's not why I love it.  It's for the moves.  Trust me, you'll enjoy it.

Until the next time!
