Listen UP. What makes me angry in this world is how we treat our elderly. These people have lived. They have massive life experience. They have accrued a very long and varied life of wisdom. Their combined knowledge is immeasurable. And yet we treat them like children. We put them in homes, and get them to play pointless games with each other. Their accrued intelligence cannot be bought. Take them seriously.
Wdym pointless games? They’re exercising snd putting them in homes is to take care of them. For example, my grandma is in a nursing home because she kept on falling and getting injured in her house and she can barely even walk anymore with assistance, so she’s in a nursing home.
Physical activity focused on flexibility and range of motion is shown to help with arthritis, learning new activities is shown to prevent the progression of dementia, what happened is that humanity finally realized that play and movement helps to keep your body and mind young and healthy.
I would love to talk to the trainers of this program to find out how they got it off the ground! I would like to try something like this with the seniors that I work with as it really emphasizes all aspects of wellness, especially the physical. If anyone has experience setting up senior parkour programs, I would love to speak with them. Thanks...and thank you to the two trainers in this video for showing it's possible to have a successful program like this for older adults.
Just because we get older it don't mean we should lay down and die. I'm 48 and I am stronger then I've ever been. I look a lot better now then when I was in my 30's. We need to age like good wines, otherwise we turn into vinegar. So young peeps, don't make fun. Respect
I'm the same way. I don't understand some of these kids thinking that by the time you turn 40 or 50 you are over the hill. I'm 48 as well. I have been a very physical ironworker my entire life. I've never spent more than five minutes in a gym. And I'm as strong as I have ever been. I have always had super fast reflexes and I still do. I still get in the boxing ring with my 27 year old son and all of the other boxers there and their early twenties and not just beat most of them, but I'm faster with better timing and beat them to the punch. I was doing what they call parkour and freerunning now 30 years ago on buildings as we would hang to the Steel before they were finished. The only thing keeping me from being able to do that now is a gut that I have put on from a project manager position that I took that put me behind the desk. But I'm working on losing that, he'll my dad is 85 years old and weighs within 5 lb of what he boxed at in the 82nd and 101st Airborne from age 17 to 21. He can still work very hard all day without taking breaks or whining about the Heat. It gets back to the person not the age. Yes if you mope around all the time your whole life shoveling down pizza telling yourself that when you turn Thirty life is over of course you're going to go downhill. But that has nothing to do with a person's age that's just from being a loser minded person

Looks like physiotherapy but if you feel good calling it parkour then yay
Ikr it’s not even parkour. It’s just exercising.
Follow Jesus Christ he loves us all repent of your sins amen 🙏🏾
