Parkour Spirit Sessions Return!

PARKOUR SPIRIT SESSIONS – Monthly Challenge!⁠

One of the central tenets of our practice is the notion of regular challenge: the idea that personal growth – be it physical, psychological or spiritual – only truly comes through experiencing adversity and finding the inner strength to adapt and overcome. ⁠

Challenge is how we learn, how we push the envelope, how we discover our current limitations and exceed them.⁠ Whilst the current lockdown regulations present their own type of challenge and mean our Parkour Spirit Session won’t be done together; we hope it can still provide a chance for friends and PKGen members to develop as a community, by sharing your efforts online. Post a photo or video of your session, tagging #parkourspiritsession and #pkgenlondon and we’ll repost for all to see!⁠

MARCH CHALLENGE⁠

– Find a rail that you feel comfortable to balance on.⁠

– Get yourself ready with a 31 min countdown timer.⁠

– Aim to start the clock when you set both feet on the rail and stay in balance for as much of the 31 minutes as possible.⁠

– Each time you fall off, stop the clock and perform X number of squats.⁠

– The number of squats will accumulate for every time you fall off. Fall 1 = 1 squat. Fall 2 = 2 squats. Fall 10 = 10 squats. And so on…⁠

– Your timer continues once you have completed your squats and are back on the rail again.⁠

– Aim to complete your 31 min rail balance in as short a time as possible.⁠

– Advanced athletes should add additional challenge of a higher rail to balance on. Beginners should aim for something shin to knee height off the floor.⁠

Enjoy!⁠
