Did pretty well getting most everything in yesterday, but still missed some stuff.

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.

BRF is a bootcamp style workout group I will be training with over the next few weeks.

While I have been doing well exercise wise, I have not done well with the life goals portion. I need to make both a priority.

My wrist seems to be doing well again, so I can start wrist rehab exercises now!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Worked at the Parkour gym yesterday, and got most everything in. I still need to work on prioritizing the sidequest stuff.

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.

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.

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.

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 ball
- Stretch
- Wrist rehab
- Sit cross legged
- Full squat holds
Stretching:
- Leg swings
- Back mobilization using a foam roller
- Plow pose
- Cat and Cow
- Rag doll, straight back progression
- Downward dog progressions
- Calf Stretch
- Hamstring band stretch, using foam roller on lowback
- Quad stretch on the ground
Sprint training, 3x a week
Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday
- jog or ride bike
- leg curls 3x10, tighten posterior chain
- Wall 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!

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.

Some well deserved rest days after almost 20 cumulative hours on the mountain.

Got back to the parkour gym and moved around a bit, nothing too intense though.

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.
