Ciel Phantomhive Workout Routine: Beginner Workout for The Black Butler Character!

Last updated on September 29th, 2021 at 06:02 pm

Ciel Phantomhive is not a typical character we are used to seeing at SHJ.

Of course we have a wide array of characters in our Workout Database, especially our Anime Workouts Database, but he is still far from normal.

That being said, we have had other characters that fall into the same “not super fit” and “not really powers or abilities good for building out a workout” like Mob AKA Shigeo Kageyama, for example.

BUT, sometimes The SHJ Army makes a strong push and asks for a specific show and you have to roll with it and make it fit.

Because how are we going to host Black Butler Inspired Workouts here without Ciel Phantomhive!?

Ciel Phantomhive Stats:

Real Name: Ciel Phantomhive

Height: 5’0

Weight: 90-110 lbs.

Anime: Black Butler

Powers: No

Ciel Phantomhive is short and super lightweight, but he’s also young.

At only 13 years old it makes sense that he comes in as one of the shortest male anime characters we’ve seen thus far.

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.

Ciel Phantomhive Diet and Nutrition

**Keep in mind: this section will be nearly identical for each hero.**

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.

Ciel Phantomhive 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.

For those of you who don’t know who we’re working with, we’re going to be pulling right from Ciel Phantomhive’s Wiki Fandom page to grab some details about how we’re going to build a routine around him.

Here’s how they get us started:

Earl Ciel Phantomhive is the current head of the Phantomhive house, the notorious Queen’s Watchdog, the owner of the Funtom Corporation, and an Aristocrat of Evil. He is the son of Vincent and Rachel Phantomhive and the younger twin brother of “Ciel Phantomhive”.

If you’re thinking that it doesn’t sound like Ciel has many powers and abilities, you’re right.

But, we’ll need a bit more information, starting with a description that gives a pretty good background with some more depth to it to put Ciel Phantomhive into a better perspective. They start by talking about his parents dying and then continue on with:

Afterwards on the day before Christmas, “Ciel” and Ciel were branded with the “mark of the beast.” In the following month, the twins were continuously violated, interjected with an unknown substance, force-fed, and abused in various different ways. However, as they were together, they did not completely lose hope; and “Ciel” declared that he would always protect Ciel.

At the end of this month, “Ciel” was used as a sacrifice in a ritual to summon a demon while Ciel had to watch, helplessly. In the process of the sacrifice, “Ciel” was stabbed in the chest and died.

The ritual was successful. However, the summoned demon unexpectedly chose to form a contract with “Ciel”‘s twin instead of with any of the cultists. Upon Ciel’s request, the demon killed the cultists and recovered the blue Phantomhive ring from “Ciel”‘s body before they left and set the cathedral on fire.

Shortly after Ciel and the demon left, Undertaker saved “Ciel”‘s corpse from the burning cathedral and turned him into a Bizarre Doll. Over the next three years, Undertaker kept “Ciel” “alive” and even matched his growth to his brother’s.

So, spoiler alert, we’ll likely see Sebastian Michaelis here at SHJ at some point in the future as well!

That’s Ciel’s demon, if you didn’t know.

As you can obviously tell, Ciel is young, doesn’t have a super in shape physique or athletic training like we’ve seen from other young characters in anime like My Hero Academia, Naruto and Dragon Ball Z (to name a few), and doesn’t have abilities that help us either.

So for this one we’ll be building an extremely basic beginner workout routine.

This allows us to still make a Ciel Phantomhive appearance here at SHJ…AND it lets us add another beginner workout into our Workout Database.

So beginners, get ready!
