This clip is to teach and to give you beneficial ideas on body weight conditioning excersises, and for those Traceurs who practice Parkour should try them out.
Conditioning is an important part of Parkour, and helps to strengthen the body mentally and physically.
This can be easily done outside come day or night, hot or cold, rain or shine.
For more thoughts and training information, please check out my blog: traceurzeno.blogspot.com/
Discipline yourself and be strong!

I have been doing this for a good few years now.
The good thing about this, is can train anywhere, just be creative and improvise on trees, walls, rails, stairs etc
I just enjoy training outside in the sun, rain, snow, hail, day or night.
Thank you for taking the time to explain this.
It is appreciated!
Zeno
The best instructional video I've seen so far. Awesome job man, you've inspired me to start training again. Keep up the awesome work, you're amazing!
Excellent video.
Those upperbody workouts are top notch and I'll include them into my workout routine.
Im truly grateful.
this is exactly the kind of conditioning we use at gymnastics! these certainly helped me very much with my fitness and body tone. I need an excercise wheel and my chinups need work, but definitely the hardest thing is the muscle up. creds to you for managing it!
You are correct and it has been pointed out a couple of times about my back arching during lifting the slab.
impressive beyond words, thank you for sharing!
Glad you find this helpful, good luck in your training man!
thanks man. your videos are gonna help A LOT! me and some of my frnds around town have started gettin into parkour and ive been tryin to get in better shape for it
I started in summer 2006 and right through out the winter in the rain, fog and icy conditions. It toughens you up mentally as well as physically.
That is excellent news my friend!! Thanks for letting me know.
Cheers
Zeno
"what does this work on?"
This works chest, shoulders, tricepts, bicepts lats, traps, all secondary and minor stabiliser muscle groups associated with the afore mentioned major groups. The work on the rock wall is the major forearm/grip work out. The clean-jerk-press is for overall power and strength. If your not comfortable doing this outside then any gymnastic club will do 90% of these exersises as standard conditioning.
Key component not listed flexibility training!!
good work guys!!
thanks so much. all your videos continue to give me inspiration. i'll give it my best.
They will get easier the more you do them. Glad to hear you are gonna keep going.
Thanks a lot. Your video is so much of a motivation to me, it really raises my efforts in training.
Awesome strength moves!
dude thats amazing. that takes real strength.
this is hella inspirational.
i'm heading to your blog now.
WOW! thanks man.
i gonna follow ur way of training.
Love this video!
Totally Motivate Me man!
Cheers mate. this will help my parkour and martial arts enourmously! have a good one.
yes thanks for help zeno, nice video
Thank alot man. I just started parkour last week im trying to condition myself for it this video helped alot thanks so much again.
I am aiming for 30 pull ups in a row, without sacrificing form or kipping my legs. Right now I can hammer out 25 pullups in a row. Keep up the training man and be functionally Strong!
Great to see you again my friend! Very happy that you're back! Keep it up!
Também andavas a seguir este bacano ahah lembrei-me do nome dele e vim reavivar a memoria de quando via estes videos tambem
these are great!!! i can't really free run, but i'm working on it, especially upper body strength. these look really helpful!!!thx
Really like this video, as soon as i recover form my pulled muscle in my back i'll try some of these exercises.
To be fit and strong takes longer than a week my friend, but will come in time through hard work and a passion for what you love doing.
Zeno
Yes I do a lot of hand balance, and you are correct, it is a fun way to build strength.
awesome video man, your conditioning is of a high level man. awesome!
This is an amazing video, great upload and an inspiration on my training. Also a great way to know for me to know how to increase my workout.
Thanks.
Awesome video and great exercises!
thanks for this, brother. respect.
yes I pay a lot of attention to my diet...
I am going to write up on my blog about my diet when I get back from France.
Cheers
Zeno
Wow. Really good drills, gave me a lot of new things to try. Thank you
I have to say this video is one of the best on youtube
it goes over a wide range of exercises that are free and you can do anywhere really
This is going to help me a lot (Y)
I really want to do parkour, but i dont have enough strength yet
Plenty training will help haha
dude thank you so much this is really helpful im nearly 17 and can do a few impressive stunts but i really need to be stronger to do everything thanks a bunch keep up the good work
Good to hear that Jerris!
You are correct in highlighting this my friend. The reason my back is arched was due to me lifting my head back stopping the slab from smacking my face. Thanks for pointing that out though.
good stuff man. some of the stuff i can really improve on and didnt even know about. tnx.
thanks for the advice.
The tricept is probably one of the most used upper body muscles in Parkour. Great to hear you are now doing muscle ups and better climb ups mate!
nice vid, wish i seen this a few years back when I was finding excercises.
Hats off to you. you look great, . Keep up the good work, from Ireland.
Good! Keep up the training!
It is really down to you and your ability...
Sometimes I do 10 reps x 5 sets or 10 sets. Sometimes i will just hammer out a high rep like 50. Othertimes I just do reps to failure. and do 3 sets of failure.
Listen to your body but push it out of its comfort zone. Keep your routine varied.
There is info in my blog, which you will find on my mainpage.
Zeno
Awesome Stuff. You have heart. Keep it up !
Very, very impressing video. I think, it'll help me a lot to improve my Parkour-skills.
Keep the good work up!
By trying out some of these ideas. Do not expect instant strength, but it will come through practice and dedication.
Train well.
Zeno
thank's a lot for the tips! man!
Our bodies adapt and get stronger at different rates, so just keep practicing man, and you will see and feel the difference sooner than you think.
Zeno
thanks for aLL the new moves - this should improve me !!
Excellent! Some really useful exercises, thanks Zeno! =]
@DotsIdeas you are very welcome! All the best in your training for 2012.
Thank you.
Same to you too man!
Yes a good 10-15 jog to get the heart rate and body temperature up, followed my warming up my joints doing isolated rotations for that given joint. I would leave stretches for the cool down to reduce lactic acid, Doms and reduce my body temperature too, plus the stretching will aid my flexiblity.
Very nice video. Haha I wish we had trees like that around here!
wow, looks like it can really do you good for PK. Dude u do so many reps, its amazing
Yes that is true, so have fun. There are plenty of other strengthening exercises that don't involve lifting weights.
Thank you
Awesome video, just like the rest, you really are getting huge. Keep it up, i'll be sure to give you a link to my next pk video, good luck with your parkour.
Will do so. thnx much
very helpfull! thanks!
Good to hear that dude
What keeps me going is there is always room for improvement, with Parkour and fitness.
Cheers man!
There are good guys at Coatbridge too, near you. Zeno
I like to keep my reps varied as well as the exercises varied too. On average I do between 6-10 slow reps x 10 sets or 15-20 fast reps. However sometimes I do not count and just do 5 sets to failure. Then sometimes i will just push out a straight 60-70 reps on something like push ups. Othertimes I will set a high number like 400-500, and take as long needed to finish it. If you keep it varied you can tailor your workout to explosive strength, power or endurance.
I personally conditioning twice a week Tuesday (lower body) and a Thursday (upper body), and I do a 2-3 hour sessions. It is important when starting off in Parkour to do your conditioning, to get your strength up. Then when you are strong enough just keep a good balance between your drilling your moves and conditioning.
Do not expect results right away, it takes time and discipline.
Wery good thinking :) So true, at least if you workout hard like this guy. Jumps, balance and presition is for everyday practise (sry about all misspelling)
very good video...it really helps u improving your strength:D thx 4 posting this video...best regards man:D
thx dude u inspired me xD i ll continue training
yes, you are right.
+1 Zeno!
unfortunately I can't train at the moment due to "Osgood Schlatters Disease" and i can't do anything like squatting (basically it hurts if my knee is bent and there is weight on it) so it's painful to use stairs & i was recommended this video, i was doing most of the stuff already but it still helped, thanks
-Risky
hey thanks for this, I got some good ideas from it. i live in the country though, so I won't be able to find some of the bars and stuff to use...But i'll make do..
V nice man, awsome advice. Ive been lookin into startin parkour =) im already pretty fit nd healthy so it shouldnt take me too long to get to where ur at =P
inspiring !
Very nice video. I'm going to be trying all of these out / build up to doing them.
Your muscle ups have very good form :|:D
And for the rope bit. I tried rope climbing recently. Found it easier than I thought to get up but very difficult getting down. But the size of the rope you climbed was immense :| Probably quadruple the size I tried.
Brilliant video man :D
man, you really great! RESPECT from RUSSIA

your going to up and up all time :)!!! Good work!
@MetttyCizzle I dabbled with gymnastics for a few months to improve my form and co-ordination, but I am a Traceur.
Cheers Man!
hey zeno! great drills there, gonna add some of them to my workouts! thanx for the ideas!
I'd advice you to try to spread your legs a little more and straghtening your back when lifting those rocks, so they rise in a straight line really close to your body line so you won't hurt your lower back! :D
keep strong!
friX!
To be honest your body is still young and developing bro, so be careful not to do anything too heavy or intense. It will develop stronger over time, months and years. So just enjoy your training and you will become strong.
Yes rest is essential for your muscles and overall body to repair, recover and grow stronger. If you train too much with little or no rest you will either injure yourself or see no improvement at a given stage in your training.
Be patient and enjoy your training.

By conditioning the body, it will help towards increasing your strength in Parkour and Free Running. However you really need to do lots of technique repetition on your Parkour/Free Running movements too. It is good to be mentally and physically strong, and for me... Conditioning and drilling techniques helps me to improve, even though I still have a long way to go, i feel I am progressing a good steady pace for my body and mind. Good luck in your training my friend!
thanks for the tips :)
something, in colombia the pull ps infront of the bar are called "Cristos"which traduces Christs, and also there is annother kind of dips, called the "robocops" in which you put your forearm in the paralells (the parallel bars are called paralells, if wrong I'm not) so you have to take them off the parallels by simultaniously lifting your elbows then you do a dip, and when you go down when your elbows are pointing up again, push your forearm to rely at the parallel bars, so they would be on top.
Both Lower and upper body strength are important my friend. Lower for jumps, impacts & climbing. Upper for climbing, pulling, pushing, grabing whilst dealing with the body weight.
This type of conditioning is also important for saving yourself should you bail, fall or manage to just grab onto something and handle your body weight.
Being strong for Parkour is useful for Parkour and helps you to be more resilient against injuries.
Fast explosive pullups and lots of practice my friend.
that's is kickass!! any advice on how i can gain strength like that?
Aim for 3 deep dips the next time man, and in time... Up it to 5 then 10.
It just takes practice and a build up of strength which will come the more you train but with proper rest too.
Good luck Bro and train well!
Zeno
nice job
you're welcome man!
I would say Climb-ups work mainly the Tri-cepts, forearm, pecs shoulders and lats.
Pullups, chinups, press ups & muscle ups would work those muscle groups, and benefit your climb-ups.
Zeno
cool, I have no idea what L sits are so ill be looking for vids on that.
I used to be in the army a few years back, I used to do 100 situps, 70 pushups in under 2 minutes and run 2.4km in less then 9 minutes, but I found that doing this wasnt enough, which is why now im looking at doing somthing like parkour, somthing that will build lean muscle and help my core body strength to grow.
really impressed by your training
how long do you workout for generally with these exercises
Like anyone starting off, I had to build up to this and beyond. Each person is different so giving you reps and set targets is really down to you.
Sometimes I do 10 reps x 5 sets or 10 sets. Sometimes i will just hammer out a high rep like 50. Othertimes I just do reps to failure. and do 3 sets of failure.
Listen to your body but push it a little. Keep your routine varied.
exactly!
Very good this video, I liked!
parabéns ai face by force, I wanted to be strong.
but the PK is not only strength, we need many other skills
Hugs, Traceur Lucas
i hasd the same trouble getting down off ropes. but i figured out that I needed to work my triceps more because going up=biceps.
getting down=tricep muscles
