Parkour Training at Home: 8 Exercises for Your House or Garden

Parkour Training at Home: 8 Exercises for Your House or Garden

You don't need a city full of walls to get better at parkour. Most of the strength, balance and control you need can be built at home or in your garden.

Strength

  1. Squat jumps: 3 × 10. Land softly every time.
  2. Push-ups on parallettes (or two sturdy chairs): deeper range, stronger wrists and shoulders. 3 × 8–12.
  3. L-sit on parallettes: hold 10–20 s. Huge for core and vaults.
  4. Pull-ups or hangs: on gymnastic rings, a bar or a strong branch. 3 × max.

Balance

  1. Slackline walking: start with 2–3 steps and build up. It's the best balance trainer there is.
  2. Rail balance: walk along a low beam or a line on the floor, forwards and backwards.

Precision and landing

  1. Precision jumps to a line: mark a line with tape and jump to land exactly on it, with control.
  2. Step drops: step off a low bench and land silently. Repeat 10 times.

A simple weekly plan

  • Day 1: strength (1–4)
  • Day 2: balance and precision (5–8)
  • Day 3: rest or light stretching

Repeat and add reps little by little.

👉 Gear that helps: slackline kit, 2-in-1 balance board, gymnastic rings, folding gymnastics mat.
