Climb 22, my favourite climb of the year so far 🐒 Every month @theclimbingunit set a competition route of 30 climbs using black holds. Starting at 1 as the numbers ascend each climb gets harder and I always aim to see how high up I can go. I give myself “3 lives”, not 3 failed attempts I mean 3 climbs I simply can’t finish. I got up to 19 smooth, then I couldn’t do 20 or 21, onto climb 22. I asked for beta from one of the staff who said most people go under the two big balls but for me it felt a lot more comfortable going over. 🐸 After slipping off 3 times I got it on my 4th attempt. 🧗🏻‍♂️ Captured by my man @epivegan. 🎥 #bouldering #rockclimbing #ninjawarrioruk #ocruk (at The Climbing Unit) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs8myVygYYV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qebgzkwuj841

In parkour we always called this move a ‘baby giant’. Giant being the gymnastics move where you swing 360 around the bar with your body in a straight handstand position. 🤸🏼‍♂️ It’s not hard to attempt it’s essentially just a ‘ninja get up’, the easiest way to go from below a bar to on top of it as seen in the last clip (anyone got another name for it?), but you pull hard enough up at the right angle that you clear the bar with your hips, stomach and chest. It’s a good combination of strength, swing, timing and spacial awareness. 👌🏼 I’ve not been able to do it in years but with my frequent training now I’ve attempted it every few weeks just to see how it feels and finally rekindled it yesterday! I believe from a mixture of all the kipping pull-ups and bouldering I’ve been doing lately 🐵 Maybe one to try next time your hanging on a bar with space above? Or perhaps you already got it? My next challenge is to try two in a row, gotta workout the timing and angle 🤓🤔 #parkour #brachiation #crossfit #movementculture #idoportalmethod #gymnastics #calisthenics #freerunningn #ninjawarrior #ninjawarrioruk (at CrossFit Mercia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsxtt2XgPEF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=semuylfcmunn

This is a hermits cave that was lived and prayed in by St Hardulph in the 6th and 7th century (1500 years old) 🧘🏻‍♂️⛰ Less then 10 minutes from my house and I had no idea until @danbillings84 showed me. Ended up going there 5 times in 3 days taking @thedowntoearthproject, @familyfreedomvlogs and @tommyxiaoji with his drone. 🛸 I think places like this exist all over the UK (and the world) right under our noses! Go out and explore, ask the elders if they know any legendary ancient geological local spots. I filmed the place with tommy so if you want to see more it’s on my YouTube now. 👀 #ruralexploring #anchorchurch #derbyshire #ingleby #hermitscave #droneshot (at Anchor Church) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsTUKKdlIuw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=143jyve20zbna

Laced em up today for my first @parkrunuk since 2017! 👟 I absolutely love running. I used to really dislike it, takes a while to break the ice but once you get the engine active again (we all had it once) and remember we’re all capable it’s such a beautiful practise and does a lot for any human🏃🏻‍♂️ — Yes cardio is great for the heart ♥️ beyond that having faith in your cardio is great for your subconscious self belief in your physical human. I remember when I got better at running I could never be caught by monsters in dreams again (suckers)🐲 — Parkruns are free organised 5k events every Saturday morning at 9am all over the uk (300+ locations). This morning I did my local Derby one in Markeaton, beautiful two lap course with lakes, woodland and a hill. Over 500 people turned up to run! Honestly can’t recommend them enough, one of my favourite things to come out of the UK. Sign up for free online, print ya barcode (not a necessity) and maybe give one a go in 2019! Or perhaps you already do them? 🤗 — Today I wanted a time to start the year and slowly chip away at over the next few months. I managed it in 21:06.⏱ P.s. don’t forget to thank the Marshalls 😇 Tee @ethcs Sacral Shoes @altraeurope #parkrun #running #5k (at Markeaton Park Main) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsQAlhJl4-P/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1k2q8agz4mjyg

Some knee swing flows at @archclimbing 🐒 These are scary at first to commit to grabbing the bar as you can see it’s blind and my eyes never make contact with the bar 👀 but once you trust your swing is high enough and gauge the distance to muscle memory it’s super fun flow! #movement #movementculture #movementismedicine #mindfulwarrior #parkour #crossfit #ocr #idoportal #idoportalmethod #yoga #meditation #ninjawarrior #freerunning #ninja #bboy #breakdance #bouldering #rockclimbing (at Arch Climbing Wall) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrAmtDilSG8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jk2c450uyp2p
