What Is A Parkour Workout? | Thrive

Parkour Is The Most Thrilling Workout You Can Get In A Gym. Today on Thrive, we put our host Briannah Donolo to the test as we visit a local indoor parkour gym. Parkour, sometimes called freerunning, was originally created by the French military as a training tool for completing obstacle courses. Since its inception, however, it has become a worldwide phenomenon. People are practicing parkour in parks, city center and everywhere in between. Chances are, you've seen some of the more crazy stunts — think leaping from rooftops — on YouTube before. Well, now parkour has permeated the fitness world by making its way into gyms. Apart from offering a safer environment to practice your landings (gym mats hurt a lot less then concrete... trust us), it's also an incredibly thrilling and tough workout.
