he was the director of the show, he created the show as a way to inspire kids to have a balance life, like going outside sometimes. Thats why it was called "lazy town" and he was the hero who came to have some fun outside
If anyone is wondering why Sportacus is this strong (and more importantly stable): The actor Magnus Scheving became National Champion in gymnastics on a dare with a friend. Dude is just raw positivity and mindset.
bro I looked on Wikipedia and that story is wild "In his twenties, he made a bet with a woodworking friend, Fjölnir Þorgeirsson, that either would master a sport of the other's choosing (that they knew nothing about) within three years. Scheving chose snooker for Fjölnir, and Fjölnir chose aerobics for Scheving. Eventually, Scheving became a national champion in aerobics, and Fjölnir became a national champion in snooker"
Fun fact: The actor for Sportacus was in his 40's at the recording of lazy town, so this man had peak physique in his 40's, bro was just built different 🔥
I knew he was athletic back then but I always assumed they would teach you this stuff back in school lol. Needless to say yeah this shit is ridiculously hard even calisthenics people wouldn't be able to do this as easily as he does.
@@Mandoversecorrection: two time european champion, but I couldn't find anything about him participating in the Olympics. An absolute gigachad, just a different competition
@@BoyzWillBeBoyz_OfficialActually he had the option to do wires and green screen men. He refused and went and did it legit. It just looks weird because we don't see people do it often

Dude... I had forgotten that I even watched Sportacus as a kid, holy... and finding this video, I got reminded of it - that was one of the best kid shows back in the day, where they really showed how exercise and proper eating can get you to become healthy (and jacked as hell). Thanks for reminding me of those times!
@@FringeWizard2now you are fat, unhealthy, never got the girls you desired - but you have your books and for sure much more happy than him. I'am so sorry for you, if your parents would only have you watch more TV.
It still baffles me how physically capable that man from my childhood was. Child me didnt understand, i just saw him doing flips and thought that was cool, but no, he's HIM
@@PurpleBugs if it was legit he would be leaning further forward. It’s physically impossible to do it the way he done it. Trust me. I can do straddle planche push ups. You need to lean further in order to balance. You can’t push up from that position
The full planches at the end are green screened. His body position makes it actually impossible to do in that manner, due to the physics of leverage. And if you look at his left leg there's an unnatural indentation, quite likely where he's being supported by someone in a greensuit. Plus
Used to watch Lazy Town as a child. It’s Great to have kids shows that promote fitness and health and part of the programme, makes you want to join in. Hopefully there’s still shows like this for today’s youngsters.
Definitely possible to do this straight legged. Look up bboy junior pushups on youtube. That guy would do them on his fingertips in the middle of breakdance battles.
@@isimsumer nah, that pushup is a real thing and it's definitely possible, plus hes a national champion in gymnastics, dudes as legit as it gets the challenge with straight leg isn't the balance, it's the core strength
@@tfer44his center of mass is behind him, so if he was actually doing them then he would have fallen backwards. It’s basic physics; watch athletes who can actually perform this movement and you’ll see what I’m talking about
It's common sense for them to help him do does stunts if he needed but obv he refused and I even theories that the 2nd part wasn't part of the script he just shows how strong he is
Might have to start watching lazy town again for motivation 💀💀
Same
Thinking about that
But i hell know im not gonna he doing that anyway 😂💀🥲

Nah bro 😂 fax

Only the last one is considerably hard
Maybe he can beat shaggy

For a show called the lazy town, Sportacus is NOT FUCKING LAZY. 💀
That's the point, tho. He's basically like the superhero of lazy town, where everyone else IS lazy, except for him
Before sportacus came around, everyone was lazy, hence the name.
I think the irony of that is the whole point of calling it “Lazy Town”. You don’t think they intentionally named it like that 😅
That’s the whole point lol
That was his whole character ark 😂
Most badass part about LazyTown was not only that Sportacus was such an athlete, but he actually wrote and produced the show.
Bro Sportacus is possibly the most badass kids show character out there lol, always a smile and crazy backflips
"Anything is possible"
-Sportacus
Sportacus was the most inspirational character for a kid's cartoon. We need more characters like him. Man makes me feel like I could do anything
Today we need to "protect the children"...
Protection being isolation from common sense of course

I love it 😄👍🏽
This guy put many pro athletes to shame. And he was 40 at the time.
3 make you become PRIME human.
1. Do Exercise/Workout
2. Sleep well
3. Eat right/healthy
Liek logay paul??? 🤔🤔🤔
Should do active stretches before each workout and then passive stretches after each workout whilst still warm.
Thank you coach dan. You have changed my life. 🎉
It’s childhood shows like this that motivate you when you grow up 💪
Crazy how as a kid it never dawned on me how much of a unit Sportacus really was😅
Sportacus being the G.O.A.T as always
Bro you truely are the legend
The actor of sportacus was actually a succesful gymnast irl
He really was a motivation, need more shows like this honestly
I like how as children, we don't even recognize how absolutely jacked Sportacus was, we just admired him for being such a hopeful, kind role model.
Jesus this man’s triceps have triceps
*Damn, that doesnt even look slightly as clean. HOW STRONG WAS HE* 😱😱😱😱
Excuse me, but you'll never could defeat him.
I remember watching this all the time as a child but now I'm an adult who works put regularly I now see how truly amazing this is

Aww this is so awesome

I’m now realizing how outstandingly fit this dude was, holy hell
Lazy Town is a criminally underrated show.
It's hard to believe that the show is named Lazy Town when this guy is this motivational and dedicated

The fact that he was 40 in this and can still do all of these moves now even tho he's in his 60s😭
Never in my life did i think that watching a clip of Lazy Town on YT would motivate me to start working out again
