I said it on our new Annie Leonhart Inspired Workout, but I’m saying it again: we’re ready for an Attack on Titan spree.
We’re still currently in our Demon Slayer spree, and we still see a ton of other anime on a weekly basis from our Anime Workouts Database – but it’s time to build up the AOT spot!
Of course we’ve already seen some of our fan-favorites like Eren, Levi and Mikasa – and knowing we’re going to be stepping it up a notch I even made us our Attack On Titan Inspired Workouts Database.
And I already can’t wait to get up some awesome lists naming the most powerful and popular characters from the series as well.
Armin Stats:
Real Name: Armin
Height: 5’5″
Weight: 123 lbs.
Anime: Attack On Titan
Powers: Yes
Armin is actually extremely light, and fairly short compared to most characters.
Although among male anime characters we have seen a good handful around his height range.
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.

Armin 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.

Armin 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.
While it’s important to note that we’ll mainly be focusing on Armin’s training for the Survey Corps, we do want to still pull a bunch of information about his overall character from his Wiki Fandom to get us started on this one.
Here’s what they lead with:
Armin Arlert is the 15th and current commander of the Survey Corps, named so by Hange Zoë before their death. He is also a childhood friend of Eren Yeager and Mikasa Ackerman, and one of the two deuteragonists of the series. Although he appears to be among the physically weakest of the 104th Training Corps, his intelligence and strategic genius makes him an invaluable asset, especially when paired with Hange. After the battle of Shiganshina District, he took the power of the Titans from Bertolt Hoover and came in possession of the Colossus Titan.
Another thing we need to take into account is that Armin’s biggest strength is his intelligence that is mentioned above.
They even go on to mention it as his main talking point within his powers and abilities section, like this:
Being physically weak, Armin is rarely assigned to the front lines and rarely uses his vertical equipment for direct combat. Instead, his greatest strength lies in his intelligence – innate abilities of deduction and strategy formulation, be it in a war room or on the fly. But Armin has a keen eye for detail, making him a remarkable field tactician, a trait that distinguishes him among his fellow trainees. His strategies help save his fellow soldiers numerous times and, more remarkably, he played a key role in deducing the identities of all the hostile Titan spies among the 104th Training. Initially, Armin’s intelligence was hampered by a severe lack of confidence, but after acknowledging and nurturing this side of himself, Armin’s potential as a tactician began to show, and even high-ranking officers took his strategic opinions seriously.
Armin also has the power of being a titan, but as I mentioned before we’re going to mainly be focusing on his base physical attributes which means this one will be focused on Survey Corps training with calisthenics and circuit style training.
For this we’ll be utilizing training similar to our Assassin Calisthenics 90 Day System which has literally helped train new U.S. Marines – but we’ll be scaling it back and making it more beginner focused to adhere to Armin’s training level.
That being said, I do still think we should at least get some background information on Armin’s Titan Form just to round out our research on his overall character development.
Here’s what his Wiki Fandom tells us:
Armin gained the power of the Titans, specifically the Colossus Titan, after being injected with the Titan serum by Levi and then consuming Bertolt shortly afterwards. Like any other inheritor of the power, this grants him the ability to recover from most lethal injuries (unless his weak spot in the neck is damaged without transferring his mind to the rest of his nervous system) and to freely transform between Titan and human forms while retaining his intelligence.
Even while making mention to his Titan Form they make mention to his intelligence level!
Alright, though, let’s get into some beginner calisthenics styled training.

Armin Workout Routine
Training Volume:
3-5 days per week
This one is going to be beginner oriented. So while we’re still sticking to calisthenics training and wanting to train around Survey Corps style training, we’re going to be doing it in a way that is friendly to beginners.
