Strength training and conditioning for parkour 2

It's one of those rare times when I actually update my blog!

Some of you may remember the strength training video which Dave & I produced almost 4 years ago:



Since we originally uploaded that video, it has had well over 500,000 views and has proved much more popular than we ever expected. It was shot in one night, and thrown together relatively quickly, so we were pleased that it got so many views.

This time around, we've tried our best to demonstrate a variety of exercises at various levels of difficulty to cater for a broad range of practitioners. As per usual in my videos, there is also an element of stupidity. The production process seems to get more & more complex from one video to the next, and this one incorporates some special effects for the first time, including chroma key and rotoscoping. Anyway, take a look:
