acrobatics

This is sort of a weird question. Is there any particular reason why you have to become athletic?

The tip to become athletic is just becoming physically fit. Put strains on your body and push yourself so you'll feel light as a feather when you go about working on actually performing athletic feats.

But yeah, just work on improving your general physique and by the time you're done, you'll have a much easier time doing acrobatic shit.

You don't really need physical training, just the lower your body weight relative your your lean body mass, the more ease you'll be able to move with.

If you weigh 200lbs and you can DL 500lbs, you're still going to have a hard time doing a flip. It's just a lot of mass to move. So, lose weight, and I'd say practice at a pool. Get used to flipping. Learn how to figure out where you are, figure out how fast you're falling, and when and how to properly unfold. After getting it down in a pool, see if you can't do it onto a mattress or something.

I'm around 218 and 5'10, how much should I lose?

how much of that 218 is muscle and how much is fat

I've seen some ridiculously acrobatic obese people.

That said, they were probably born to possess this pointless talent and you should probably not attempt to become one of them. If you want to be a good dancer or whatever then you can't go wrong with losing weight.

Don't try to starve yourself or chainsaw the calories away with intensive workouts; people who try that often crash and rebound the hardest. Start by forcing healthy habits, like eating oatmeal instead of "cereal" bars or eating salad instead of filler material snacks. Every good habit you gain or bad habit you lose will impact all the time you keep the better routines going.

At 5'10, you should be looking at about 140lbs. That's about a good weight to be for your height.

At that weight, you'll still have a bit of excess chub, but then you can start working on gaining some lean body mass. Simply losing that weight alone will make you feel a lot stronger. Your body is used to accommodating a lot more weight, so having less to lug around helps.

Shouldn't take much more than a year, and you can lift to retain the lean body mass you've built from simply being heavier while you lose weight.
