How parkour will get you really fit
Parkour is now an official sport, it鈥檚 recognised by the UK鈥檚 national sporting body. It grew out of military training. Competitors have to run an obstacle course as quickly as they can, they can鈥檛 use equipment to help but they can jump, climb, vault and hang from things. Teenagers have been taking this up after seeing some spectacular videos online. Parkour clubs are now expanding across the UK and schools are starting to offer classes.
