Makio might not be extremely prominent in Demon Slayer thus far, but she’s still a fan favorite already when you factor in the manga.

We have had a TON of people demanding her inclusion within our Demon Slayer Inspired Workouts, so here we are.

We’ll learn more about her later on in the research section of this article, but I should let you know right off the bat that this one is going to be more geared towards a cosplay style workout than the ones where we revolve around powers/abilities AND aesthetics.

For this one we’re going to zoom in on the Makio physique and body and build it based on that.

Makio actually didn’t come in as one of our most popular Demon Slayer characters of all time – but her popularity continues to increase among our SHJ Army – so I’m sure members are going to love getting her as their answer on the Demon Slayer Workout Placement Quiz.

Makio Stats:

Real Name: Makio

Height: N/A

Weight: N/A

Anime: Demon Slayer

Powers: Yes

Makio doesn’t have any information on her height and weight shared just yet – but hopefully when she makes a bigger appearance we’ll be able to come back in and update this.

If you guys see any updates make sure to leave a comment below! Either way, Makio is likely to be dwarfed by some of the behemoths inside our Anime Workout Database.

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.

Makio 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.

Makio 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.

As I said about, we’re going to be building this one out around more of a cosplay/physique oriented workout for Makio – but we’ll still be pulling directly from her Wiki Fandom page to learn more about her character.

They don’t have a ton of information for us, but this is what they lead with:

Makio is a supporting character of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. She is a kunoichi and one of Tengen Uzui’s wives.

I should also share the fact that we’ve already seen our Tengen Uzui Inspired Workout here at SHJ, for those of you interested.

While Tengen made it onto our list of The Most Powerful Demon Slayer Characters of All Time, Makio did not make the cut.

From there we can also expand on this by sharing her overall appearance being that we are building this around her aesthetics and physique, but don’t have a ton of pictures to go off of:

Makio is a young woman of average height possessing a curvaceous and slender figure with pale skin and large eyes. She has black hair tied up with yellow-brown bangs hanging loosely, framing her face.

Makio is seen wearing a short, sleeveless striped dress that reveals her cleavage tied with a black obi. She has bandages wrapped around her calves and up to her thighs, with an array of various scars across her body.

And, as I said, we won’t necessarily be using her abilities to build this one out.

BUT, I still want to share what they list in her abilities section being that it is relevant to our workout routine.

Here’s how they break it down for us:

Overall Abilities: Makio does not possess any form of superhuman abilities, however she was raised as a kunoichi and is capable of wielding a kunai as well as perform maneuvers and fight much better than regular people can.

We’re actually going to be using kunai on one of the new logos on our 90 Day Systems releasing soon – so that makes Makio pretty dang cool in my book!

We also need to note that the reason for her use of these is because we know she’s a kunoichi – AKA a female ninja! So that is something we will DEFINITELY be factoring in on top of our main goal.

We will be sticking to calisthenics and bodyweight training for this one and you’ll be able to scale up and down quite easily with the resources I provide.

We are going to be adding in some speed training and optional parkour resources for Makio (and even MMA), but for the most part this one will be geared around a Beginner -> Intermediate level and built on achieving a Makio body!

So don’t be afraid to scale down and work your way up if you’re just starting out.
