#1Overcoming

obstacles

Developed in France, Parkour, which uses movements from military obstacle course training, is a relatively new type of workout that’s gaining popularity. The whole idea is to navigate from one point to another without using any assistive equipment – just the body – and in the fastest and most efficient way possible. It involves running, crawling, balancing, climbing, vaulting, swinging, jumping, rolling and other calorie- busting movements. Gymkraft (gymkraft.com) in Geylang offers a weekly “Adultpark” class, and A2 Parkour (a2movements. com) offers kids’ and adult classes (including ladies’ only sessions) in Kallang, plus once-weekly sessions at Raffles Place and Scape.
