New Mutants is here, and we’re ready to start training like them.
Magik’s Workout Routine is actually the second among the New Mutants to hit SHJ.
A while back, when New Mutants was first being announced we hosted our Wolfsbane Workout Routine and The SHJ Army loved it.
Now we’re back for Magik, who is equally as awesome, and should be a ton of fun to train like.
We’ve seen a few sorceresses in The Workout Database, but Magik takes her magic to a different level, even combining it with her massive sword.
Magik Stats:
Real Name: Illyana Nikolievna
Height: 5’5
Weight: 130 lbs.
Powers: Yes
Magik falls into the range of average height among both celebrity females and characters we’ve seen at SHJ.
And I’m sure with her sword standing next to her it could either dwarf her height or make her look massive due to the fear that comes with it!
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.

Magik Diet and Nutrition
**Keep in mind: this section will be nearly identical for each hero, unless I mentioned differently (for example someone like Hulk 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!
Curious where over a hundred celebs fall in their dietary choices ranging from High Protein and Keto to Vegetarian, Vegan and Intermittent Fasting? Want exclusive celeb meal plans? Check this out.

Magik 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.
To get us started I want to share a bit of a background on Magik, this time from her regular Wiki page instead of starting with her Fandom, just for the pure fact that the Fandom discusses a bit of in depth early life that might not actually give us a clear picture of who she is.
Here’s what her Wiki page tells us about her character, albeit breif:
Magik is the younger sister of the Russian X-Men member Colossus. She is a member of a fictional sub-species of humanity known as mutants, who are born with superhuman abilities. Her natural mutant power is the ability to teleport.
Okay, pause. How cool is it that she’s Colossus’ younger sister?
I know Deadpool is out there somewhere with his feet up clapping.
As far as Magik’s powers and abilities we’ll actually jump back to Wiki Fandom.
Here’s what they have to tell us about it:
Stepping Discs: She has the mutant ability to mentally control “stepping discs”, which allowed herself and others to teleport across interstellar distances or through time. The discs are part of a dimension known as Limbo. This dimension is specifically known alternately as “Demonic Limbo”, “Limbo-Belasco”, or “Otherplace”. However, when Illyana mentally calls for a Stepping Disc she must use Limbo as a midway point before she can teleport to an alternate location. It is not known if she was genetically predetermined to travel through Limbo, or if she did so because, having been spirited there as a child, it was the alternate dimension she was instinctively aware of. Magik has succeeded in teleporting herself across continents, from one continent to another, and even interplanetary and intergalactic distances on occasion. Apparently, she can mentally scan Limbo while on Earth in order to locate whoever she wishes to teleport from Limbo down to her, on Earth.
- Unlike most other teleporters, Magik could teleport through time as well as space. She has teleported moments, days or centuries into the past or future. Especially, early on, she had difficulty modulating this ability and would often inadvertently travel through time and space when intending to teleport only through space. Magik was told by Dr. Strange that she had the potential for great feats of manipulating time on a wider scale.
Sorcery: Magik is the Sorceress Supreme of her Limbo dimension. The extent of her powers there are all-powerful and the demons of Limbo did not dare challenge her. Magik had access to Belasco’s store of mystical knowledge. Magik’s sorcery was a unique mix of black magic, that she learned from Belasco, and white magic, taught by an alternative-reality Ororo Munroe.
Limbo Control: Magik’s Limbo, also known as Otherplace, was not a void as such, but rather a small pocket dimension that is tenuously connected to True Limbo, where time does not pass in a physical sense and as a result, no one can age or die. The matter within Magik’s Limbo could be shaped and transformed by the thoughts and emotions of the sorcerer who is its master.
Mystical Armor: The more that Magik uses her magical power on any occasion, the more mystical armor appears on her body. The nature and origin of this armor is as yet unknown. Along with the armor, Magik’s appearance would become more demonic including horns, hooves, or a tail. The mystical armor is a natural power of whoever rules in Limbo.
Psionic Shields: She has impenetrable psionic shields, most likely a result of the time she spent in Limbo and the effects of her partially demonic soul. As such even powerful telepaths such as Charles Xavier, David Haller, Emma Frost, and Rachel Summers could not mentally read Illyana’s thoughts or sense her psionically.
She was considered as a possible Sorcerer Supreme.
So her regular Wiki page may have scaled back how awesome of a sorceress she is, but that’s okay because we’re back on the right page!
For this one we’re going to have to equate Magik’s powers to her strength and performance levels to bring it into how we train.
You know, considering we can’t actually train to become a sorcerer or teleport!
That means I’ll be putting this routine together based around her aesthetic and overall power levels to compare the the training level.
Think you can handle training like a mutant this strong?
