The Agenda: Forget tai chi. Here's why grandparents are trying parkour

View descriptionShare
 

Parkour and seniors aren't two words you'd normally expect to hear in the same sentence. But across Singapore, more older adults are embracing the discipline, not to leap across rooftops, but to stay strong, steady and confident as they age.

So why are seniors taking up parkour? And could it change the way we think about growing older?

On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Shie Boon Tan, Founder and Coach at Movement Singapore, about how parkour is helping older adults improve their balance, build confidence, reduce their fear of falling, and prove that ageing doesn't have to mean slowing down.
