After a twenty-minute session, it felt like my heart was going to explode.

And who says the French military isn't great? I sense determination in this skill.

(Yes, free-running (Parkour) is apparently a skill made by the French military to get over obstacles.)

There's a small bathroom structure made of bricks at my nearby park. I kept wall-running up it, jumping off, and rolling once I hit the ground.

Takes a LOT of stamina that I don't really have.

The French really aren't that bad.
Most stereotypes aren't true.
But they're funny. :3

My brother said that their official battle cry in times of war is "I surrender!"

Same here.

Just try the basics. Like wall-running and rolling. Easy stuff. Look up "Parkour how to wall run" on YT.

About stereotypes, the one who use that one are probably the Danish, not to be offensive, but they don't have a proper army that the French have.
Anyways, Brad, same here,

In my opinion, they're close enough.

Free running is sport.
Parkour is much deeper.

Free running is a sport where you skillfully get over obstacles in an unconventional way, like jumping and climbing.

Parkour is a French military skill where you skillfully get over obstacles in an unconventional way, like jumping and climbing.

This will probably be the only exercise that I will ever stick with. Can't wait till next week to start. I don't have time right now to try it.

Well, some good exercise to try is to find a rugged wall that's about 1.5 of your height, and try to wall run up it. I recommend finding a website like YT to explain how.
