How to do Parkour, Modern Physical Exercises Training for Body Fitness

Body Fitness, Physical Training, Trending Parkour

Later fitness slowly spread up , a variety of fitness programs are also developed , there are more people to the different needs to start training , fitness coach began to appear . Fitness trainer designed to improve sport-specific training content , in order to improve the overall quality of the body and setting content , Many people are no longer willing to practice the chest and shoulders, and are no longer willing to look in the mirror and go home after the practice. Many people who practice physical fitness like to say : We want to practice something useful .

I like the word "useful" very much. Without this word, nothing is meaningful.

Useful Physical Training for Body Fitness

It is precisely because of the word "useful" that physical training, which looks very new, actually brings some basic and traditional content back to the public . Speed , explosiveness, coordination, endurance , and basic strength are all very primitive physical exercises. Content , the purpose is to make a person more like a whole, exercise more efficient, and control the body more freely .

The word "whole" is the core of physical training. The word whole can be large or small. You can see the explanation of the whole from various exercises in physical training. For example, various fine-tuning in dead lift learning are for better mobilization Work with the whole body, so that the action of returning to the upright position against resistance can be performed more efficiently . 

For example, the double-arm exercise process allows us to integrate and develop trunk strength while achieving a stable balance of upper limb flexion, extension and rotation . Another example is the process of high flip exercises. It will re-grind your flexibility and joint coordination ability, and the nervous system can quickly recruit the ability of the whole body muscles to participate in the movement . 

Basics of Physical Training and Exercises

When running, jumping, and changing directions, it will require the body to become a whole and increase the speed. fast. Here is a point worthy of consideration for all physical fitness coaches: can we really have the expected results as long as we practice these basics and stack them step by step? Is man a machine?

Can do such simple training and become a strongest man?

Of course not, the various training injuries you might have seen are proof.

Therefore, physical training is efficient . We can see real changes in the body, and it is also a high risk. The risk stems from: If you can't quickly mobilize your body's muscles to participate in movements, you will inevitably practice habitual compensatory movements. 

• So we are equipped with better physical coaches, rehabilitation trainers? 
• Or is it to learn more about the rehabilitation industry while learning physical training?

 Of course they are all possible. You can broaden your horizons, increase your knowledge, and learn more about your body. But it may not be able to solve these initial problems, the question of how to make better overall efforts. After learning to recover, many coaches get lost in the assessment problem, find the root cause of the injury problem, and slowly turn to rehabilitation training. It is extremely rare for groups to integrate rehabilitation and physical fitness to promote the physical development of physical training.

If you feel like twisting some things, you have to stand up and do something that you like to do in the first place.

Let us return to this point of origin: "useful". If it is an ancient war period, what is most useful? It is most useful to kill people on the battlefield. What we are referring to in modern times is not as useful as life-related usefulness to achieve reality. Therefore, it is necessary to refer to some viewpoints of traditional martial arts in the iterative update of modern physical training. Traditional martial arts talk about the whole thing. There is a saying that the training principle of martial arts is " slow but not crazy, fast but not chaotic".

In order to achieve true overall training in modern physical training, the specific practice direction can be refined to two points:

• Improve spatial position and muscle proprioception through basic movements.

• Fast high-frequency movement to maintain smooth movement. Fluency is an intuitive expression of stability and overall balance"

I don’t make sure whether you will lose the initial enthusiasm. . In other words, if you can really do this, you don't need to pay attention to what I write, how to practice. Another method is to pay for the help of a highly skilled physical coach, while ensuring that he understands your body better than you, and that you maintain a high degree of consistent mental focus throughout the process. Therefore, I did not deny contemporary physical training. 

I think that the coaches who implement physical training are all outstanding generations. They have responded to more needs of modern people, leading the public to a more authentic training stage, and telling everyone How the body should be more useful has taken a big step forward. It's just that modern physical training clearly shows the lack of integration while striving for perfection. Such shortcomings make our training efficient and risky.

Of course, you have another option, which is to learn parkour.

Let me repeat these two points:

1. Improve spatial position and muscle proprioception through basic movements.
2. Fast high-frequency movement to maintain smooth movement. Fluency is an intuitive expression of stability and overall balance.

It is not that parkour training can achieve these two points, but the basis of parkour is to achieve these two points.

Let me give an example to briefly explain how it is done:

• Regarding proprioception and spatial position sense:

Most people may not be able to achieve the precise muscle perception I just described when squatting, but most people also cannot achieve more basic joint movement perception. For example, when you squat, you don’t know that you are used to buckling. When you squat, you don’t know your foot pronation compensation.

These compensations are extremely easy to be found in parkour training, because parkour has more than N crawling movements. A basic crawling movement requires force to be accurately transmitted from the soles of the feet to the upper limbs, thereby pushing oneself forward. If there is an imbalance during this period, it is clearly visible to the naked eye.

Squat Exercise Physical Training

When squatting, our lower limb imbalance may be compensated by trunk rotation and difficult to find. Through this practice, we know that we have these imbalances, and we need to practice in this way. This is the performance of proprioception.

Simply put: the problem of bipedal standing movements can easily be solved by returning to the developmental movements before the standing movements.

• The two points of speed and fluency are actually the basic pursuit of parkour, in other words "flow like water.

The content here can be seen from many parkour materials, and you can also experience it intuitively from many parkour videos .

Let us return to the word "useful". What I do must be useful, and I will keep doing it only if it is useful. If a natural movement is to be explained from a cognitive perspective, it must be viewed at a higher level before it can approach a certain aspect. The first and most important thing that parkour advocates is the training of perception. We will touch the surface of different materials, such as grass, concrete, land, trees, railings, and walls. 

• If you practice all year round, your body will develop the following natural reactions when facing these contents: when you see the railing, you clearly remember to fall on the railing and concentrate on the sense of accomplishment. When you see the grass, you remember the feeling of relaxation and softness. 
• When you go to the concrete floor, you can remember the happiness brought by your creativity. When you see the tree, you can remember how you felt when you played like a child. When you see the land, you remember the security of the last time you fell on it. 
• The wall remembers the feeling of freedom when crossing. You can act immediately if you are willing to make them become reality again. The whole city is like a different gym. The feelings that the whole city gives you are delicate, rich and powerful.
• So what is "useful"? The usefulness is that our current environment in this city is closer, we are more willing to open up to the environment, feel better in our hearts, and more willing to blend into it, and love our current life. There is nothing more useful than this.

The road to fitness in the future is integrated. Parkour is exercise itself. It is a game that every child plays spontaneously in childhood. It is placed there objectively and quietly. The road must be interpreted by humans to have a good integration result. I am writing this article because I think parkour is very useful . 

I hope that everyone will look at this sport again and participate in the real fun of parkour and experience more efficient and integrated training. I also hope that more physical coaches and fitness coaches will join together to better integrate parkour with their own training content, make themselves better, and bring more people closer to the natural physical and mental state.
