Great list! I still have to make my resolutions. Thanks thenewgreen for the mention! speeding_snail , I would say number 4 is the easiest on the list! XD Honestly, Parkour is the easiest discipline in the world to begin training. All you need is some tennis shoes, a desire to learn, and some common sense. www.APK.com has some good tips for starting out.

Your pull ups, chin ups and muscle ups should help you out a lot in parkour! Best of luck friend!

I'll check the site out. I've been reading up on some parkour related stuff and stumbled upon the blog of Chris Rowat and I must say, I like the mindset of challenging your limits, both physical and mental.

Anyway, thanks for the support and tips. Mind if I contact you for tips and to share experiences?

Great stuff! Yes, the fact that the only person you compete against in parkour is yourself, both mentally and physically, is a fantastic thing. It also makes for awesome collaborative communities, so its definitely worth checking out whether there are training groups near you.

Yea, by all means! I would love to help in any way I can.
