      Hi there, you can definitely start climbing, irrespective of BMI.
      I have a guide here, and it says that it is safe (low injury rare) to climb 4a-c when your bmi is 27. So when you start climbing when your bmi is even higher, you can definitely start on 2s or 3s with low injury rate.
      And my experience is that when you start climbing, you will start gaining muscle really fast, which helps A LOT with fat burning.
      So..... You should definitely try climbing! You can probably pair up with someone your level at the gym. Climbing people tend to be the quite relaxed go with the flow type. And encourage eachother.

      I'm a beginner and no, that thought didn't even cross my mind. It seems silly to be fixated on height when I specifically chose to do low-height climbing (bouldering) instead of greater-height climbing (roped).
      I also didn't do any of the other things that Magnus did in an attempt to appear beginnerish, such as not sticking to the colour of the climb (how hard can understanding colour-coding be lol), using the descent holds (i.e. those grey ones you're only supposed to use while descending) while climbing up, pant so much (or at all), etc. I think all of those things might be stereotypes that advanced climbers have of beginners that don't actually hold true in reality.

    I just love how Magnus is doing such a good job so at looking like a beginner climber but out of nowhere he makes a move that a beginner would definetely not do so smootly 😂 It momentarily breaks his character completely

    I love this video. Im a Norwegian, and a bit overweight. I have just now started climbing (i have tried 2 times). I have found it so overwhelming. All the other climbers, not knowing what I'm doing. Failing and falling.
    Its hard facing this and still keep trying. This video gave me a lot of genuine good advise and entertainment.
    So i guess im saying, Takk for hjelpen og motivasjonen. Gleder meg til neste video ❤

      As long as you find the sport fun, it should be all that matters. Push through and it'll get easier and easier, and the more fun it is, the easier it'll be! Good luck!

      Dont be too tough with yourself, do it if you like it and if you feel that it gives you any kind of reward for yourself and focus on yourself, dont care about the others cause nobody will judge you trust me, and if they do they are just pieces of shit

    She seemed really nice & had a beautiful smile. Loved her reaction to the first jump. That's the best part of these videos, the great people that you meet while you're undercover. Some of them are wonderful at their coaching.

    The shaking, failing a few climbs, the weird humour - such a good vid!

    hey magnus if you ever read this, im 17 and i just started climbing about two months ago because of your videos and yesterday i did my first 6c and i dont think ive ever been more proud of myself. i think ive finally found something im interested in, climbing is pretty much all i think about. its really helped my depression and low confidence and i just really wanted to say thankyou. i know you get alot of these comments but i think youve helped alot of people and you should be proud of yourself too.
