I think you’ll find its because when they roll, they keep on moving, which reduces the force impact on their body. Think of it like a plane landing, if it was to stop as it hit the floor, it would destroy it, but because it moves horizontally, it doesnt take much, if not any damage ;)

lower you calorie intake, smaller weights more reps. record your calorie intake, your workout, your weight so you can figure out whats working and whats not. dont use any weight loss drugs.

is the roll landing supposed to hav impact or not?

I’ve always wanted to do parkour but I’m not exactly the fittest. I do go to the gym, but no matter how much I do or what I do, I still keep the same – sort of fat. Does anyone have any hints or tips for me?

Free running is great. I like it, I do it in the pubilc garage, me and many other free runner in America just fear one thing, grumpy cops, they will try and catch you or subdue you if you accidently touch them, they have tazers. ;-(

the parkour-guys, they were already on the top of the building when james arrived…

#19 BananaIcee on 03.02.09 at 2:42 pm

No, there’s a significant difference. Parkour = Getting from Point A to B as quick and smooth as possible, while Free Running is more about acrobatics, tricking with a bit of martial arts.

#20 skaterbelicus on 03.03.09 at 11:16 am

free runners
