From Laurie Jennifer:

 "A friend of mine from college emailed me out of the blue about wanting to start Parkour.  Well into her thirties with two kids, and very much the quiet, reserved type, I was both excited and totally surprised.  But more and more this has been happening to me:  "unlikely" people get brave and curious.

So, I pieced together an article designed specifically for such demographics, to encourage them and make training Parkour seem "doable" and fun."

Sunday, 30 November 2008
 

By Charles Moreland  

All too often I hear or read about yet another traceur who is frustrated with their training. They feel worn out, defeated, plateaued, or simply lost. There are many different causes for this feeling of confusion or disorientation. After spending some time training others, I have found there are a few common denominators that lead to this general confusion of direction. These problems include "goofing off", lack of structure, checklist style routines, aimless wandering, or the all too common effects of over-training.
