I had a couple of concerns, my family is known for having arthritis.... i have had several incidents where my knees hurt during training, but i was wondering if i should continue with my journeys of training parkour, or trying something a little less impacting to my joints, i've only been training for like a month or two and don't get me wrong i love everything about parkour and the freedom but idk... i want to be healthy in the future, im only 20 and wanted to make parkour a serious part of my life.... any inputs im just looking out for me in the future

How's your diet?
(off topic] What a coincidence  Steve i was just reading your interview..... hows your knee man, hope its all well........was wondering, do you only do bodyweight workouts? i would love to get the iron cross, better yet a "simple" planche

(on topic
]Anyways well lately since i sleep pretty late i haven't been eating all too well...
normally like 3 eggs in the morning with water/ or if not eggs then cereal and oatmeal, and of course my daily vitamin (fish oil,glucosamine, and flintstones lol)
- sometimes ill have a snack like mozzarella stick with a yogurt
- for lunch ill sometimes make a sandwich with lotsa turkey ham.... or just chicken
-dinner is mostly rice and chicken.... (love rice, that all mom cooks)
normally wen theres not much to eat ill throw some lettuce in a bowl with tuna and oil and vinegar

oh and sometimes a protein drink afterworkouts..... i feel like i'm wasting my powder because i don't have a good diet but they do taste good!

I do mostly bodyweight but I'm not adverse to weights. My knee is doing ok... recovery is very slow because of the reinjuries. Planche and cross will take a lot of dedicated work. Smiley

As long as you're not overloading on like candy/carbs which it doesn't seem like.. you reduce risk of arthritis. Hmm, diet could be better but then again so could mine. Might wanna check out the diet subforum in gen fitness.

Otherwise, work back into stuff slowly. If you have to do some strength work on the side or something else while you're healing like I do.
