We’re back for even more Naruto to be added to our Anime Workouts Database!
Even though Naruto was one of the first shows (along with DBZ and MHA) to receive it’s own Mini Workout Database dedicated to workouts we’ve built inspired by it’s characters: it still continues to have a ton of requests come in!
This is also helpful, though, because it also gets us close to a bunch of Naruto listicles that will help people find the best workout routine for them.
For example: Minato is a character that would definitely show up among some of the most popular Naruto characters there are, and possibly even one of the most powerful.
That being said, he will definitely make for a super fun routine to base around!
Minato Stats:
Real Name: Minato
Height: 5’9
Weight: 145 lbs.
Anime: Naruto
Powers: Yes
Minato is technically short among male celebs, but average to above average compared to anime male characters.
He’s also super thin at his 145 lbs, but clearly powerful regardless.
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.

Minato 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.

Minato 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, as always, we’ll be pulling right from Minato’s Wiki Fandom page to get a bit of a bio.
Here’s what they tell us about him:
Minato Namikaze was the Fourth Hokage of Konohagakure. He was renowned all over the world as Konoha’s Yellow Flash. He died during the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox’s Attack, sacrificing his life to seal a part of the Nine-Tails into his newborn son, Naruto Uzumaki.
Moving into his overall powers and abilities we can begin to get a feel for just how strong Minato is.
They break it down by stating:
Minato was one of the most powerful shinobi in history, considered by many as unmatched by anyone else. During the Third Shinobi World War, flee-on-sight orders were given to enemy shinobi should they encounter him. In the anime, he was able to single-handedly wipe out an army of one thousand Iwagakure shinobi — a feat that forced Ōnoki to accept a peace treaty. During the Nine-Tails’ attack on Konoha, it was only through Minato’s actions that Tobi and the fox were defeated and the village was saved from destruction. Over a decade later, with the looming threat of Orochimaru approaching, Minato was believed to be the only one who could have stopped the Sannin, making his death deeply regretted. Minato’s fighting style revolved mainly around suddenly appearing and just as quickly taking down enemies, often excluded traditional time-consuming methods such as hand seals.
Moving onto his physical prowess section we can begin to realize that we’re going to be training for speed.
They describe it like this:
Minato was hailed as the fastest shinobi of his time. While this recognition was due in part to his space–time ninjutsu, Minato’s natural speed and prowess with the Body Flicker Technique were immense: he could easily outstrip three other Kage-Level ninja and engage an enemy or retrieve an ally before anyone realised what he was doing; he could cover a considerable distance in a short amount of time and perform a technique before an opponent could finish theirs. In the anime, he appear before sensors could detect his approach and instantly defeat three shinobi with minimal effort. Minato’s reflexes allowed him to react to and avoid techniques with no warning, such as Kamui and Lightning Straight.
We’re going to be focusing in on agility and speed!
This means high intensity training, endurance work and sprints.
Get ready for high volume calisthenics mixed with a bunch of endurance style cardio to get us moving…fast!
