This group is aimed at helping beginner Traceurs in thier goals and teaching them how moves are excecuted, how to overcome fears, training routines for beginer’s and more advanced persons, training area’s and much more to come. I will do my very best to help all you begginging Traceurs.
This is not a free-running group, I know nothing to do with it.
This is for beginers and Amatures, though I will try to assist the more advanced Traceurs, I may not be able to help.
You may realise that there are several other Parkour groups on this website, and whilst I acknowledge this, none of the other groups are very well maintained or up-dated.
Dont be afraid to PM me any questions, queries or doubtfull points. Anything Parkour/Freerunning related is welcome.

A GUIDE TO SPORTS DRINKS
Commercial sports drinks fall under three main headings - hypotonic, isotonic and hypertonic. These refer to the concentration of the drink compared with the balance of the body’s natural fluids - this will influence the absorption rates of the fluid.
Hypotonic - These are less concentrated than the body’s fluids and will be absorbs quicker than water. They will help with rapid re-hydration during long exercise sessions and immediately afterwards.
Isotonic -These are also absorbed quickly and are more in balance with the body’s natural fluids ideal for rapid re-hydration following exercise.
Hypertonic - These are more concentrated than body fluids and are absorbed slowly, therefore these are not ideal for re-hydration because of their high carbohydrate content. They are suitable for replenishing energy stores to aid recovery and these drinks should be taken with water, isotonic or hypotonic drinks.
HOMEMADE SPORTS DRINKS
Sports drinks can be expensive. It is possible to make a homemade version which in most cases is just as good.

4 fl oz (12 ml) orange squash
1 3û4 pints (1 litre) drinking water

Isotonic drink - for before, during and after exercise
2 oz (50 g) granulated sugar or glucose
13û4 pints (1 litre) drinking water
Small pinch or salt
Warm 4 tablespoons of the water and mix it with the salt and glucose or sucrose, add the rest of the water and chill.
