I almost forgot about our new “What If” series.
Which brings us to this awesomeness.
We’ve been making our way through some Marvel characters that are coming to Disney+ and Peggy Carter is set to start in the first episode showing is what would happen if SHE had taken the Super Soldier Serum!
We recently saw Winter Soldier, Falcon, Scarlet Witch, and Ms. Marvel; and last week we had Kate Bishop and Vision joining the list.
So we’re actually wrapping things up with Loki and Peggy this week!
Thankfully we had already had both She Hulk and Moon Knight at SHJ!
Peggy Carter Stats:
Height: 5’5
Weight: 105 lbs.
Real Name: Margaret Alexandra“Peggy” Carter
Powers: No (But in “What If” she does)
Peggy Carter is fairly average height.
Although I’m not sure if she’d get taller once she took the Super Soldier Serum…
Supergirl and Erza Scarlet were our shortest at 5’5 before Wasp came in at 5’4 and Kale, Anna and Nina Williams matching her there. BUT, now we have Caulifla at 4’8 and Sailor Moon at 4’11! Katana is just behind her at 5’2.
We had Wonder Woman come in standing 6’0 tall, Mockingbird and Hawkgirl at 5’9, Mystique, Miss Martian, and Sonya Blade at 5’10, and Storm 5’11.
But the average height for female celebrities on the site is generally more-so ranging from 5’4-5’6 – and our Black Widow is just above that at 5’7 with Spider-Gwen, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy at 5’8.
And, the tallest we’d seen before She-Hulk was Starfire at 6’4!
But don’t worry, either way.
Not only are these routines for all shapes and sizes – they also work for both men and women – regardless of the gender of the hero!

Peggy Carter Diet and Nutrition
**Keep in mind: this section will be nearly identical for each hero, unless I mentioned differently (for example someone like Hellboy may get something specifically different)**
Every hero needs to still have a good diet.
Unfortunately we can train like them, but I don’t think any of us are suddenly getting their powers, or the ability to magically stop caring about nutrition.
You can’t out train your diet, so I want to still give some pillars for nutrition.
You can start by checking out The Nutrition Pillars on the site, but I’ll break down some more information for you guys as well.
Guys like Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart incorporate 80/20 dieting with big weekly cheat meals, Hugh Jackman, Tom Hopper, Benedict Cumberbatch and Terry Crews utilize intermittent fasting (something I use daily as well), Ariana Grande, Mustafa Shakir and Madelaine Petsch are vegans, Brandon Routh and Frank Grillo opt for paleo, and tons of others utilize their own variations as well.
It’s all about sustainability.
AND, there are a thousand different ways to reach your goals, so finding the most sustainable way is what’s important.
Which is why our Academy utilizes multiple different Nutrition Classes (Greek Gods, Vikings, Spartans, Hunter Gatherers, Monks, Samurais, Minimalists, SuperHumans) to allow people to choose what is right for YOU!

Peggy Carter Workout Routine Research
We’ve made it to “the fun part”.
And, if you don’t know by now, I say that every single time we get to the workout routine research section for character workouts.
This is where I get to break down the “how” and “why” of the workout we’re going to build based on the characters, in this case Carter’s, powers and/or abilities.
So we actually have a bit to talk about here beforehand, though.
I want to take a look at Peggy Carter’s bio to start, and then begin talking about the “What If” concept behind it.
Right from Marvel’s site they tell us:
Peggy Carter began her career fighting alongside French Resistance during World War II. Following her stint in Europe, she teamed up with Captain America as an Avengers auxiliary before becoming one of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s most decorated agents.
And they list her abilities as hand to hand combat and espionage.
But if you can see in the above picture, that’s actually what was shown at the D23 Expo as the first look at Peggy Carter’s Captain Britain!
So for this “What If” episode it will feature Carter as if she was the one that took the Super Soldier Serum instead of Cap.
Which means for this version of Peggy Carter we’re actually looking at Captain America’s heightened abilities!
Those abilities and powers we’ll be working with are described as follows:
he is transformed and his strength, endurance, agility, speed, reflexes, durability, and healing are at the zenith of natural human potential.
And the bold is to show you precisely what we’ll be looking to heighten within this workout routine.
So we get a female version of Captain America’s workout!
You think you guys can handle it?

Peggy Carter “What If” Workout Routine
Training Volume:
6 days per week
Explanation:
We’re working with Captain Britain here. Six days a week might seem like high volume, but it’s not when you have Super Soldier Serum and you need to work your butt off to achieve all those heightened powers we just listed (yeah, I know if you DID have it, you wouldn’t have to work your butt off, but you don’t, so here we are).
