WEIGHT LIFTING IS NOT JUST FOR BODY BUILDERS

More recently, I have been adding weight lifting into my regular parkour classes. When I was younger, I never thought about the gym much or lifting weights.

Sure, I would do it a bit if one of my friends was really into it, but I never saw the point. But now I am older, and I have trained so many people, I see its benefits.

✅Many people do not move their bodies anymore, so their muscles have atrophied. This is true for those who work in the office, but also for children these days who don't play outside as much.

✅ You may have great technical ability, but without weights, you can easily hit a plateau.

✅ Lifting weights helps to maintain healthy bones and muscles into old age. So if you want to maintain mobility and autonomy in the later years, lifting weights is very good for you.

Now in both of our adult parkour classes and child parkour classes we include at least 10 mins of weight lifting.
