Parkour Community Whats up!!!!

My name is Gabriel and I will share a little of my story (Don't hate me please.) I was born and raise in Argentina, but I also lived in Mexico. Now I am living in the United States, Tarzana California to be exact. I fall in love with Parkour since I was 14 years old (I am 24 now) Everything started when I watched a video online about 2 russian guys jumping and climbing buildings and I was totally totally hypnotise and amazed by that. I wasn't smart enough back then to actually look online and find out about what was that magical thing that they were doing, but back then I also loved MMA ("Pride" from japan, not the crap that we see now on tv) and I started training kickboxing and Jiu-Jitsu. I quit all possible training/fitness about 2 years ago and I also became dad of a beautiful princess named Sophie and she is the sun of my life. I work full-time at Health Net ( Medical insurance company ) and also study full time for Online Marketing degree. 1 month ago I saw a video in youtube about "amazing people", and I saw again a scene from a Parkour clip and that feeling inside of me started to light up again to the point that I started to get goosebumps really bad!!! I was working and watching clips, and I just wanted to start screaming and jump around all the cubicles. I discovered Tempest Academy which is 4 miles away from my house!!! and I will sign up next week for sure. I want to start training Parkour every possible free second that I have available, and I want to become really really good at it.

Thank you all for reading the little story from me!!!

I be more than glad to join jam parties and to train with anybody ( please bare with me that I need to get in shape first )

Any tips on workout routines that I can do to get in shape fast?

What I am doing now is 4x10

10 Push ups
10 squats
10 (future pull ups) I got the bar now I have to assemble it now.
and 10 of this leg exercise that I don't the name hahah!!!!

Any tips or recommendations on things I should be doing so I can get in shape to start doing all the jumping!!!!

Thank you again and Lets Parkour!!!!

Welcome Gabriel, I am relatively to this site as well, just call me Chris or, if you prefer, William. While I would love to jam with you sometime, I don't think it will be in the near future because I am on the other side of the country and am only 15. However, if I am ever out your way for anything, I will definitely try to get in touch.
Also, you can look at some of the specific location forums to meet others in your area and the Tempest Academy is also a good place to meet other traceurs(?).
