For those of you who are new to parkour or freerunning (like me), one thing that I really discovered that helps so much is flexibility.  After stretching every day I've found it so much easier to do everything.  I used to have trouble just touching my toes from really tight hamstrings, but now I have no problem.  I try to do intensive stretching (at least as far as I can go without snapping anything ), but I found what really helps me is if I meditate and focus on my breathing while stretching.  Eventually your muscles will loosen up.  Don't forget to put a good amount of time towards stretching!!!
