The Saint

That's great to hear! As one of the APEX Movement coaches (Denver Location), I am glad we have a good rep. I might be biased since I taught them, but the adult classes are also a great way to get into parkour. The curriculum teaches you all of the fundamentals in a progressive manner, so you end up becoming very skilled quite quickly.

Did pretty well getting most everything in yesterday, but still missed some stuff. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13zALApZ8ddGiiXJvge5aabVCCY5X4G0ddG4Z3p8mTCE/edit?usp=sharing

So after the first 3 weeks I came down with a bronchial infection. Now that I am feeling better I have made some revisions to my list and will begin the 2nd 3 weeks. The biggest changes are adding a sketch a day, as well as making a schedule for the next day. By doing so I intend to stay on track with my goals, better than the first 3 weeks. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13zALApZ8ddGiiXJvge5aabVCCY5X4G0ddG4Z3p8mTCE/edit?usp=sharing BRF is a bootcamp style workout group I will be training with over the next few weeks.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MDKscmwel6BuZvt05Hd5CGht6QcD_iDhG8XaHio4_RI/edit?usp=sharing Kind of slacked off on some of my goals this weekend, but the plus side is I worked a lot at the gym and got some stuff done.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MDKscmwel6BuZvt05Hd5CGht6QcD_iDhG8XaHio4_RI/edit?usp=sharing Not much to update from yesterday, but off to a good start today.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MDKscmwel6BuZvt05Hd5CGht6QcD_iDhG8XaHio4_RI/edit?usp=sharing Getting back on track. Also added some HIIT workouts into the mix on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MDKscmwel6BuZvt05Hd5CGht6QcD_iDhG8XaHio4_RI/edit#gid=0 Was not super productive yesterday unfortunately, but I still managed to stretch a fair amount.

Yesterday and today were busy days coaching at the parkour gym for me. I did not make time for everything unfortunately. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MDKscmwel6BuZvt05Hd5CGht6QcD_iDhG8XaHio4_RI/edit?usp=sharing

Yesterday I finally got around to meeting with my doctor and looking at my wrist. Turns out I compacted it, which means for the next few days I need to avoid full extension and only do passive mobility work. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MDKscmwel6BuZvt05Hd5CGht6QcD_iDhG8XaHio4_RI/edit?usp=sharing

While I did not complete most of my goals for today, I did get a good day of skiing in! Between that and training hard on Wednesday, I think I'm still doing alright. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MDKscmwel6BuZvt05Hd5CGht6QcD_iDhG8XaHio4_RI/edit?usp=sharing

Realized I didn't post yesterday. I was a hectic one but I managed to get most everything in. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MDKscmwel6BuZvt05Hd5CGht6QcD_iDhG8XaHio4_RI/edit?usp=sharing

Worked at the Parkour gym yesterday, and got most everything in. I still need to work on prioritizing the sidequest stuff. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MDKscmwel6BuZvt05Hd5CGht6QcD_iDhG8XaHio4_RI/edit?usp=sharing

Was not around yesterday to post this. While I didn't get all of my daily goals done, I did go skiing all day. Definitely worth the break in routine. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MDKscmwel6BuZvt05Hd5CGht6QcD_iDhG8XaHio4_RI/edit?usp=sharing

Missed walking and sprinting today due to the weather. Got everything else done, and taught at the gym and got some light training in as well. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MDKscmwel6BuZvt05Hd5CGht6QcD_iDhG8XaHio4_RI/edit?usp=sharing

Started strong yesterday, completed all of my goals for the day, and managed to get some light parkour training in. I also made a google doc to update my progress more easily. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MDKscmwel6BuZvt05Hd5CGht6QcD_iDhG8XaHio4_RI/edit?usp=sharing

It has been a bit since I've been on NF. But I'm back in for the challenge! I will be dedicating this 6 week challenge to rounding out my fitness regimen to include areas that need additional work and practice. Currently I coach and train parkour 2-3 days a week. I also have been making an effort to train aerial rope basics 2 days a week. This free form training keeps me active and learning new things. Yet I want to see improvement in my flexibility and endurance, which are areas that my current activities do not address. To do so, I will follow this regiment for the 1st 3 weeks: Daily activities: Walk (as a warm up for stretching)Fascial release feet with lacrosse ballStretchWrist rehabSit cross leggedFull squat holds Stretching: Leg swingsBack mobilization using a foam rollerPlow poseCat and CowRag doll, straight back progressionDownward dog progressionsCalf StretchHamstring band stretch, using foam roller on lowbackQuad stretch on the ground Sprint training, 3x a week Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday jog or ride bikeleg curls 3x10, tighten posterior chainWall High knees 3x10~40m sprints x 10 Life Side Quest Daily: Rip 1 CD to my PC, I have to back them up.Watch one Ctrl Paint video

Hi! I hope you are still working hard on your handstands, they take quite a while to perfect. As far as resources go, Antranik's "Most Comprehensive Handstand Tutorial" is just that. It not only has great drills, but also has much needed warm-up and prehab exercises to help strengthen your wrists. Here's the link to the full tutorial: http://antranik.org/comprehensive-handstand-tutorial/ have fun!

While I know it's almost been a month since I have last posted here, rest assured I have been continuing to train hard! As proof, here is my ninja warrior submission video!

Man, it has been a while since I have updated this page. I spent all of last week writing a paper for a conference, which I submitted this past Friday. Now it is back to work! 76-85: Mostly academia, yet I did manage to do one workout: 5 rounds for time: 5 Clean and Jerks, 95lbs1 Rope Climb

72: Yoga! 73: 5 rounds: QMsled pushCrab Walk5 Inverted pushups74: Rest 75: 5 Rounds: 10 kettle bell swings, 24kg5 3ft box jumps5 rock ring pullups

69: Rest. 70: Today was the parkourlympics event at the parkour gym I work at. So after running classes the whole day I competed as well. Here's a cool video of the victors in each category. http://youtu.be/R7qn5VhsHKs 71: Rest and recovery.

http://youtu.be/EemFtE9V0R4 Ryan Doyle's tutorial is rather dated, here's part one of a different video which I have found to teach much better, more comfortable, and safer form.

65-67 Some well deserved rest days after almost 20 cumulative hours on the mountain. 68 Got back to the parkour gym and moved around a bit, nothing too intense though.
