Pegasus Saiya and Saint Seiya will be the first of a handful of anime characters that have been requested but are now being prioritized for one of our upcoming mega listicles!
We’re going to be discussing the best anime to watch on Netflix, and Saint Seiya is one.
Luckily for us: Pegasus Seiya is definitely a character that deserves a spot within our Anime Workouts Database.
Seiya, as we’ll learn more about in our workout routine research section has a ton of power and will make an extremely fun character to build a workout around.
He also joins one of the many anime characters on the site that are teenagers with insane powers and abilities!
Pegasus Seiya Stats:
Real Name: Pegasus Seiya
Height: 5’4
Weight: 116 lbs.
Anime: Saint Seiya
Powers: Yes
Pegasus Seiya’s height is actually around average when compared to other anime characters we’re used to seeing here at SHJ.
It is important to remember he’s also only 13 years old!
Wolverine was the shortest spot among comic characters we’ve seen at 5’3, prior to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles coming in at 5’2, (and Gimli even shorter) – but Damian Wayne (Robin) is only 5’4. Goku isn’t that tall either, though, standing only 5’7, with Miles Morales only an inch above him.
One Punch Man falls in at 5’9 right there with Ryu, Nightwing at 5’10, and then Spider-Man, Daredevil, and Green Arrow coming in around 5’11 and Beast joining them.
We’ve had Superman and Eddie Brock’s Venom at 6’3, and Captain America, Scorpion and Batman at 6’2, and Carnage at 6’1. Thor and Cyborg are towering over them at 6’6, Thanos and King right there with them at 6’7, Bane at 6’8, and Deathstroke right below at 6’5, and Black Manta at 6’4.
Ronan and Sagat are 7’5, and Doomsday came in at 8’10, and I doubt any characters are touching that anytime soon.
But, don’t worry if you’re not the same height or weight range.
We write these routines to be utilized by anyone and everyone.

Pegasus Seiya 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.

Pegasus Seiya 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 start us off we’re going to be pulling from Pegasus Seiya’s Wiki Fandom page with a bit of a bio:
Seiya also known as Pegasus Seiya is the title and main protagonist of the Saint Seiya manga and anime series written and illustrated by Masami Kurumada. Seiya is one of Athena’s eighty-eight mythical warriors known as the Saints who are serving their goddess throughout the ages, protecting justice and peace on Earth. Seiya is also one of the forty-eight Bronze Saints and is protected by the Pegasus Constellation so he wears the Pegasus Cloth.
I shouldn’t have to explain that it’s pretty obvious we’re going to be working around building a routine to turn us into a mythical warrior….which means you need to prepare for a tough one!
Jumping over to another Wiki Fandom we can pull a ton of information on Seiya’s powers and abilities.
Here’s what they list:
- Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant
- Immense Strength
- Immense Speed
- Enhanced Reflexes
- Immense Durability
- Enhanced Endurance
On top of all this, they also talk about his Cosmo Power:
Immense Cosmo Power: While only a Bronze Saint, Seiya has been noted to have vastly immense levels of Cosmo, well beyond average Bronze and Silver Saints; even by Gold Saint standards. His power is enough to rival even the strongest Gold Saints in the 20th Century. His unique level of Cosmo reserves is so vast, that he could raise his own to its maximum peak, increasing all of his fighting capabilities even further. Furthermore, being a reincarnation of the God Slayer Pegasus, Seiya is capable of increasing his Cosmo to the point where he can wound various Deities. His Cosmo is blue in color.
- Sixth Sense: As with many of Athena’s Saints, Seiya has the Sixth Sense known as Intuition, meaning that he can feel and use Cosmoenergy over large distances, predict movements without the use of his other five senses, as well as using supplementary abilities like telepathy, atomic manipulation and destruction, and/or projecting energy blasts.
- Seventh Sense: The Seventh Sense that allows one to draw out the true potential of their Cosmo and achieve exceptionally powerful feats far beyond those of even an average Saint, such as moving one’s body at the speed of light, wield enough power to pulverize a star, or being able to punch a billion times per second. This is a Gold Saint ability, one that makes them the main strength of Athena’s army. Seiya unlocked his Seventh Sense for the first time during his fight against Taurus Aldebaran.
- Eight Sense: The Eighth Sense is known as the “Arayashiki” born through friendship and hope. It allows Seiya to push his Cosmo beyond its limits and have the strength to safely travel to the Underworld and also single-handedly defeat Harpy Valentine, one of the strongest Specters. Seiya awakened his Eight Sense by chance after the Bronze Saints’ desperate battle against Wyvern Rhadamanthys when he pushed the latter down the chasm with him.
- Ninth Sense: Known as the “supreme virtue”, the Ninth Sense is the Cosmo usually possessed only by the Deities. However, upon awakening his God Cloth, Seiya’s Cosmo reaches the Ninth Sense, allowing him to finally defeat Thanatos and more efficiently stand his ground during the Bronze Saints’ assault on Hades, even managing to injure him directly during the final showdown between Athena and Hades.
That’s the stuff we’re NOT going to be able to train for.
Thankfully his speed, strength, reflexes, and endurance are PLENTY to build a routine around.
Get ready.
