I'm 49 and thinking in start on parkour. I didn't even give a second thought to the idea that I'm too old. I'm actually climbing every day and I have more energy than the majority of twenty years old that go to the climbing center. I'm training every day, non-stop, David Goggins style, around 4 hours per day, and really I feel like in my twenties or thirties. Age is in the mind if you take care of your habits, especially diet and sleeping.
It has not always been like that though. At the beginning of my forties I started to felt old, my joints hurting and my energy in general low, but it was all the sugar and processed food that made my body "old". Once I understood this and went on a healthy diet everything went to normal. At 49 I have more energy than ever before in my life, my joints are twenty again, my brain is sharp as hell, I'm always charged and ready to go and my body heals faster than ever. Keto carnivore changed my life!
34 years old here. Practiced parkour from 18 to 27 aprox and really miss it. What kinda diet brought back your old days energy? Would come in handy 😉
did you start?
Has Robert continued to train parkour? I'd love to see more of his progress!
Yes, I believe he does still train pretty regularly. I haven't talked to him in a while as he's from South Texas and I'm North Texas
Legend!
Love to see how the Parkour community is growing, not just through young traceurs but also throuhg people like Robert!
Great stuff Robert!
I'm 57 and just started training two months ago today. I'm terribly out of shape after two years of work-from-home and getting over 35 pounds overweight. I've lost 15 pounds so far and made great strides on strength and endurance. But I have a long way to go and can tell that learning the skills and coordination and gaining flexibility is going to be slow going for someone my age.
15 pounds! That's amazing! Over the pandemic, I took a lot of inspiration from the young UK parkour community. Some may still be in their teens (Team Phat), but they're still really struggling to achieve what THEY want to do with it! I'm 53, myself, and I love that you're here too! If you don't already, please follow Storror (a lovely bunch of lads from Brighton, England), and I would also suggest Travis Verky as an outstanding athlete in the sport. Best of luck to you, this is such a creative sport and there are no rules!
@@Jolar70 I am a female in my fifties. Are your recommendations for someone my age? I mean do they do easy progressions on their channels or are they for inspiration?
What's your progress?
@@siphobrisloks8133 It's been a circatious journey. I tore my meniscus snowboarding two years ago and have been on a long recovery from that, but I am back to training from time to time. Had pulmonary embolisms last fall and that has set me back quite a bit.
Great inspiration. I'm 39, I've started experimenting with parkour a bit last year and more so this year, along with martial arts, calisthenics, and everything else I try to do. I don't have time to attend any clubs or anything as I go straight from work to dinner and napping with my son and my wife works every third weekend... but just making small progress and keeping it safe while challenging myself mentally I've been able to develop some skills on my own. :) Robert already has some cool skills... I think I can do what he did in the video except for the lazy vault, but he does it more smoothly... for sure it's great to attend a club, but even if you're not able to, you can still with gradual steps and RUclips tutorials learn stuff on your own, as long as you know how to fall safely. :)
Awesome video guys! Really inspiring
Awesome!
So I'm 34.... trained a bit when I was younger but work got in the way and been thinking I was getting too old... thanks for changing my mind
This is great. What better training regime than moving about with agility like this. Lifting heavy is over rated for longevity and general health as you get older. Body weight exercise and balance like this are superb, more gyms like this please
Wauw, he has a better climb up than me. Respect
nice
I'm 41 & I definitely want to get i to parkor
I am 24 and learning flips tbis is inspiring
Columbus was where I discovered parkour. It was 1997 and I was thirteen.
Do you have to have really good knees to start?
Goals
I'd love to learn, but I do sorta think that at 37 my time has passed. Maybe not though.
No. Clearly not. Go for it, clearly. Just because you don't have the same pace than you had in your 20s doesn't mean you can't at all. Parkour is about adaptation. Nobody asks you to go for a 10m jump between too roofs, it's just about gaining control over your body to cross the obstacles you decide to cross. :)
Damn, he has a better climb than me!
Muscle ups, pull ups, dips, overall just explosive power and strength will make them easier
Same here!
Not me, but it was so nice to see someone who is definitely a beginner at other things still be able to do a mostly straight armed climb up, and I’m pretty sure that there’s no overgrip
Role model
Age is a number in life... #nolimits #parkour, #ageisanumber.
Age is a number until you get hurt and takes long time to heal
I believed that too, but it was all the sugar and processed food that made my body "old". Once I understood this and went on a healthy diet everything went to normal. At 49 I have more energy than ever before in my life, my joints are twenty again, my brain is sharp as hell, I'm always charged and ready to go and my body heals faster than ever.

Age is not a number, it affects.
ROBERT ...ALL THE BEST ...do uve facebook address
Old bones broke a way faster
Morons also injure themselves faster.
