Answer 2

Only if you are on cocaine.

Getting in shape is part of the process of learning gymnastics.

Answer 3

It's possible, but he has to be REALLY strong and have REALLY good balance and muscle endurance.  Easier and safer route is to work out to lose weight and gain strength before engaging in gymnastics.

Answer 4

yeah, sam adams for the broncos is a d-lineman hes like 315 or 350 and for training camp he did a front flip and landed it

Answer 5

usually you'll lose weight by doing it, gymnastics is a very good workout, so after a while your little brother would lose some weight.

Answer 6

Yes, back in high school i remember there was a couple overweight cheerleaders we had....ya, and they were still pulling off acrobatics.

That being said I wouldnt teach your little brother, i would get some professional instructor and get him into a fitness routine because he will need very strong plyometric ability and a strong core to pull off moves safely
