Parkour is a training discipline where practitioners (called traceurs) move from one place to another in a complex environment, without assisting equipment.
They must go the fastest and the most efficient way possible.
With roots in military obstacle course training and martial arts, parkour includes:
Running,
Climbing,
Swinging,
Vaulting,
Jumping,
Plyometrics,
Rolling, and
Quadrupedal movement
Parkour is an activity that can be practiced alone or with others, and is usually carried out in urban spaces, though it can be done anywhere.
Parkour as a type of movement was established by David Belle in France in 1988.

What muscles are used in parkour?
Parkour exercises will develop your back, shoulders, and arms, the muscles that are most engaged during your parkour training sessions. Balance your musculature -- While the "pulling" muscles are the most important for parkour, you can't neglect your "pushing" muscles (chest and triceps).
