Workout Wednesday: Parkour!

So to celebrate a new Workout Wednesday, I thought I would show you something that is very near and dear to my heart: Parkout.  From Wikipedia, parkour is "...a training method which focuses on rational movement in both the natural and urban environments. The focus is to move around obstacles with speed and efficiency..." 
It was developed in France by David Belle, and has since grown in popularity all over the world, and is even entering the mainstream in a big way, even though parkour and its cousin free running have been around for ages. 
Check out a quick clip of David Belle in action in the French action movie, District 13.  By the way, I wanna do this stuff; any takers?
Check this out!  So freaking awesome!
