Based on parkour, the classes push people to step out of their comfort zone
MOV’
With the popularity of parkour growing globally, Parkour Generations has launched MOV’ training – a group exercise programme based on the practice of parkour that’s for fitness operators who to offer something functional, effective and different. The new programme encourages people to step out of their comfort zone using the fundamentals of movement in a fun, accessible environment, offering workouts that are instinctive and draw on a person’s natural physical abilities. This style of training builds self-
efficacy, which helps develop confidence and overcome fears. In addition, the combination of high and low impact movements is said to be great for burning calories and building a strong, lean body. This is achieved through performing key functional movements including jumping, climbing, running, vaulting and balancing. The new programme can be
delivered through five different modules to suit all fitness levels. The introductory modules are: FlowMOV’, which focuses on agility and co-ordination over obstacles; JumpMOV’, which involves jumping and plyometric techniques for individual or sequenced jump sequences; BalanceMOV’, reconnecting body and mind through a holistic workout; and TribalMOV’, a quadrupedal bodyweight-based movement programme based on natural motor patterns. The class concept launched in the
UK in September 2014 and is now available around the world. Details:
