What’s to Love: “Functional Fitness” is a trendy term these days. What does it mean? I’m sure I could gather many definitions from practitioners, teachers, and students. To me, it means exercising in dynamic/non-linear ways like rolling, tumbling, climbing, twisting, turning, jumping, leaping, grasping, etc. Most importantly, the movements have to be done with a mindful intent on the technique. Oh yeah, it MUST be fun! It’s the type of fitness that makes you feel like a kid again. Revolution Parkour houses one of the first Parkour Academies in the country, and after experiencing a course first-hand with my son, I can certainly attest to the “having fun” aspect.
