In parkour, practitioners learn to turn the world into a playground. But they should also learn to use common objects like trees, rails, benches, and walls as exercise equipment. Even though I recommend some basic weightlifting for intermediate and advanced athletes, parkour beginners should start out with bodyweight exercises only. After all, you should not be moving around additional weight without a good understanding of how to move your own body. In this article, I have compiled a list of the best exercises for beginners in parkour.
