I think it's cool that larger people can play, it makes the sport open to all people, not just skinny/athletic people.

I'm 5'11 weighing 235-240. So I'm a big dude, but being big doesn't mean you can't footbag

(sure it's a little harder than those twiggy people,) but that's what should make you want to be even MORE of a footbagger, to go and say, "Hey! I'm huge, YET I can do all this cool stuff." Anything a skinny person does is impressive, but when a big dude does the same thing (and possibly better) it's even MORE impressive. Work hard, and SHRED ON!

6'3 and 190? that doesn't sound "not skinny". I'm 5'8 155 and i'm skinny...

there are some big blokes in BAP too i think... Genzu seems to be a pretty heavily set guy, like hes not fat but he seems solidly built with a big torso, but he still rips it
Greg Nelson looks pretty solid too, but that could just be from various angles or something

hey jas cool it with the sarcasm haha

Are you trying to boast about how you aren't overweight? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I can't really see much other use coming out of that post...

Is that sour grapes Chris - just because he's fatter than you, it doesn't mean you have to get angry about it - Nobody likes a sore loser.

Seriously people of all kinds of different weights play footbag. I think being skinny is definitly an advantage but it doesn't need to stop you. I think Greg Nelson used to be overweight and still ripped it up. These days he looks in great shape and rips it up as well. I don't think footbag will help you lose much weight - it certainly hasn't helped my fitness very much compared with some other sports - I think mainly in footbag you are using fast twitch muscles (not that I'm a sports science expert). But I think the most important thing to do when playing footbag is have fun. If you have fun it doesn't matter how much you weigh or what you look like. If you don't have fun, it doesn't matter how skilled you are or how long you've been playing.

that's very confusing Jeremy, lol. Zach is slim for his height, I weigh more than he does and I have an inch on him as well. Maybe my wording is confusing, which is very likely considering I recently woke up

.

No offence intended towards anyone, sorry if I was being a dick Zach.

Two months ago I was 204lbs (I'm 5'6"). In two months, i've dropped 20lbs and my shred has improved greatly. My dex's are faster and sets like atomic are easier, since my belly doesn't get in the way anymore.

I been losing weight the simple wayt, by eating right and excersising, and increasing my speed and explosiveness by doing core training.

zachatree · Post by **zachatree** » 28 Aug 2004 07:17

im not fat your right, but i used to be. i was 210, i never freestyled then but i circle kicked all the time, shreding is a GREAT way to sweet of pounds. if you kick hard core 5 times a week for a few hours a day you will notice a differance in a month.
