We’re keeping the JoJo spree going with Johnny Joestar!
This week we are getting SIX JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Inspired Workouts, and Johnny is one of them.
Johnny came in at number four among our Most Powerful JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Characters of All Time – and he’s going to top our list of the most popular as well.
That being said, we’re on a roll this week specifically because we also are releasing our JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Workout Booklet AND rolling out our JoJo Workout Placement Quiz for you guys as well.
Yeah, it’s a pretty big week for our JoJo fans!
And I’m sure we’re not even close to seeing the last of these characters within our Anime Workouts Database.
Johnny Joestar Stats:
Real Name: Jonathan Joestar
Height: 5’5 (Guesstimate)
Weight: N/A
Anime: JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure
Powers: Yes
Johnny Joestar is guesstimated to be around 5’5, which makes him the shortest Joestar we know of.
He’s also extremely thin, which at his height makes his weight probably extremely light.
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.

Johnny Joestar 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.

Johnny Joestar 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 our research section we’re going to be pulling right from Johnny Joestar’s Wiki Fandom page.
They start us off with his brief bio, which they give us this for:
Johnny Joestar, born Jonathan Joestar is the protagonist of Steel Ball Run and a minor character in JoJolion. He is the seventh JoJo of the JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure series.
A former horse-racingW prodigy turned paraplegicW, Johnny joins the SBR race to find out the secret behind Gyro Zeppeli’s Steel Balls as they’re the only thing capable of healing his legs.
Over the course of the race, Johnny becomes both a Spin User and a Stand User when he acquires Tusk.
And although he shares the Jonathan Joestar name with our original Joestar (and our first JoJo Inspired Workout here at the site: our Jonathan Joestar Inspired Workout) – he is much different.
When we move onto his abilities section we learn a TON about his stand, although it doesn’t help us all that much with our training:
Johnny first seeks Gyro Zeppeli’s tutelage in the ways of the Spin in order to regain the use of his legs. Most often, Johnny channels the Spin by the use of his Stand, Tusk; developed first with the power of the Corpse’s left hand, and further with Gyro’s help. Its form varies, depending on the sort or style of Spin Johnny chooses to employ.
- ACT1 is awakened in the Devil’s Palm when the corpse part combines itself with Johnny’s left hand, manifesting his Stand with the ability to spin his nails and fire them akin to bullets, and regrowing his nails in seconds.
- ACT2 manifests when Johnny shoots a nail whilst incorporating the Golden Rectangle in a fight against Sandman. Despite the longer regrow time, the nails possess more power and a new ability that lets the holes of the bullets follow the target for a small amount of time.
- ACT3 is the final “base” form for Tusk and manifests when Johnny shoots himself with a Golden Rectangle-empowered nail, enabling him to transfer parts of his body through the holes to shoot from different directions. It was awakened by an advice from Jesus in a fight against Axl RO.
- ACT4 manifests itself as a result of Johnny utilizing Slow Dancer’s power combined with the golden rectangle, which enables Johnny to fire Golden Spin nail-bullets that have infinite rotation. ACT4 possesses the power to force open D4C Love Train’s dimensional wall, and trap anyone hit by it to a single spot indefinitely.
On top of this they go on to name some of his other abilities.
Here’s how they break it down for us:
- Horseriding: Johnny Joestar has been described as a genius jockey, being one of the favorites of the Steel Ball Run race. His skill allows him to ride across many types of terrain, and challenge even fellow genius jockey Diego Brando. Johnny possesses great knowledge of his horse Slow Dancer, notably its abilities and limits, being able to gauge what Slow Dancer will be capable of at any moment.
- Intelligence: Johnny Joestar proves himself a competent Stand User, being able to use Tusk’s abilities to the fullest. Johnny Joestar has occasionally used the terrain and his enemies own power against them, and was perceptive enough to quickly deduce Alternate Diego’s time stopping power.
- Marksmanship: When using Tusk, Johnny proves to possess great marksmanship, being able to hit little and/or moving targets, even if firing from odd angles and perspectives, such as when Tusk ACT3 separates his hand from his arm.
Jockey’s need to be extremely light, so for this one we’re going to be training to be lean and light like Johnny, but not ONLY relying on endurance work to do so.
That means we’ll work with HIIT training, long distance endurance work, and circuit training with calisthenics as well.
So get ready!
