My views of the French are changing more and more each day, especially since visiting Paris a few months ago. They are truly an amazing people, and pretty frickin inspiring, quite notably some of their practitioners of Parkour, and these guys, in the following video, who demonstrate a mixture of Parkour and the brazilian martial art of Capoeira.
For those who don't know, Parkour is this insanely physical culture of folks who truly practice, live, love, and define the art of human movement. Wow, that sounded like a commercial for a Human Kinesiology class....hehe.
You may have seen examples of Parkour in commercials for K-swiss, BET, or during the cool chase scene in the first few minutes of the last James Bond movie, Casino Royale. Also, I can't forget one of the fight scenes in "Live Free or Die Hard," where Bruce Willis's comment for the amazing moves of his Parkour practicing enemy is, "What the hell? Is the circus in town?"
Check out the following video and you can see why he asked. Once you finish watching, stop for a minute and remember, your body was designed to move, and not spend hours upon end in an "office chair-to-living room couch' prison. You may not be able to move like a Parkour or Capoeira practitioner (for now ;-D), but you can tap in to your animal instincts, and move like the well oiled machines, with laser point focus, you were designed to be.
p.s. You can even become a well-oiled functioning machine for about 4 minutes a day. Talk about getting fit by training "smarter not harder." Jump over to www.fourminutefatloss.com to see how you can finally become a lean, fit, machine right now.
Keep training, and keep it moving!
