Running by the woods in the cold evening

[moshez]

The art is lovely, harsh and deep
But I have obstacles to leap
And rails to jump to go before I sleep,
And rails to jump to go before I sleep,

(with apologies to Robert Frost)

"Of course, people being what they are, herenot tried to discourage me. Hah!"

I resent that.

My point wasn't about trying to discourage you, that would be pointless. I know you did serious research - if that didn't discourage you nothing I can say or do ever will . my point was that picking up parkour as a way to improve physical fitness as akin to using a machine gun to swat a fly.

both are not likely to reach the desired objective, and are likely to get you into the hospital trying.

Well, the point is I can't just exercise -- I need exercise that involves the brain. Parkour is like running, with your brain :) So far, it's working out magnificently.

[herenot]

cool. I will monitor your progress with great interest. :-)

[omerm]

running with your brain, I liked that.

Yay Parker!

cool, Moshe! I support the idea of fun exercising. I also get bored from things like running and swimming back and forth in a swimming pool. This is why I used to do קרב מגע. Just be careful, the important thing is to learn things gradually and not to hurt yourself.

Moshe, can I offer rollerblading? :P
