I saw a workout, recently, on one of my favorite websites, American Parkour. I liked what I saw; however, I wanted to add my New Warrior Training style twist to it. Thus I modified it for the use of kettlebells or dumb bells. If you do not have access to either, no worries.
I listed the Parkour workout below the New Warrior Fitness Training workout, as well. This workout is one of those, “get your butt outside, and WORK!” workouts. So, bring plenty of water, plenty of focus, and leave the whining at home. Butch up!

Many people don’t realize that gym is not necessary component for an awesome workout.
Pull ups and sprints alone will keep you sore for weeks.
The bottom line? Use your body! Pick exercises that use variety of movements, are fun and feel great.
Thanks for the post.
