I have been very interested in finding an activity or sport that I can or work to engage in for fitness and entertainment purposes. Nearly a year ago I came across a video clip showing guys doing what looked like a form of acrobatics over a mostly urban landscape. They leaped and flipped fluidly over a seemly insurmountable obstacles. They look like they use different types of climbing techniques, agility, strength and speed to overcome nearly any obstacle set in their path. Watching the video impressed me to a high enough degree that I felt like the activity known as parkour, might be something that I can train and learn to master as a traceur. A traceur is someone who performs parkour.
I am now 35 years old, overweight and decidedly unfit by most standards. But I wasn't like this all my life. There was a time when I was quite fleet of foot. Certainly, there was a time when I was much lighter than I am today. If I am to make the decision to train and study to become a traceur, then it will be a huge commitment on my part due to the great changes that I will have to endure in order to be able to perform parkour properly and safely.
