Getting started with parkour involves more than just jumping around; it’s crucial to warm up properly to ensure your body is ready for movement. A fantastic way to do this is through quadrupedal movement (QM). This warm-up engages multiple muscle groups and helps enhance your coordination and balance, setting the stage for more advanced parkour skills.
To begin, find a comfortable space and assume a push-up position, ensuring your body is straight. Start by moving your right hand forward while simultaneously placing your left foot forward. This positioning will have one side close together while the opposite side stretches outward. Focus on the movement—next, bring your left hand and right foot in sync, stepping forward in the same manner. Now practice the reverse: move your left hand and right foot backwards. Keep alternating these movements: right hand with left foot and then back to left hand with right foot, creating a fluid motion.
By incorporating this quadrupedal movement into your warm-up routine, you’ll not only prepare your body for parkour training but also improve your overall agility. Remember, consistency is key—practice regularly to build strength and confidence in your movements. As you become comfortable with these basic steps, you’ll be well-equipped to tackle more advanced parkour techniques.
- Warm up with quadrupedal movement to engage your whole body.
- Start in a push-up position and practice moving opposite hand and foot together.
- Consistent practice will enhance your strength and agility for parkour.
