We have a wide mixture of My Hero Academia Inspired Workouts coming in with a couple other anime that seem to be dominating the site a bit the last couple of weeks.
Along with MHA we’ve also been seeing a bunch of Demon Slayer Inspired Workouts and even Attack on Titan Inspired Workouts.
And even though I brought in a handful of MHA Class 1-A Students recently, we’re back for a super strong character who is even a top ten ranked Pro Hero!
Ryukyu joined our list of the Most Powerful Female My Hero Academia Characters of All Time and definitely deserves a spot here among our Anime Workouts Database.
Ryukyu Stats:
Real Name: Ryukyu Tatsuma
Height: 5’5
Weight: N/A
Anime: My Hero Academia
Powers: Yes
By now we know MHA isn’t big on adding weights to their characters, but they’re always super precise about the height.
When not in Dragon form Ryukyu is actually right around average height when compared to both characters and celebrity we’ve seen.
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.

Ryukyu 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.

Ryukyu 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 get us started with our Ryukyu research we’re going to be pulling right from her Wiki Fandom page that leads with her bio section:
Ryuko Tatsuma, also known as Dragoon Hero: Ryukyu, is the former No. 9, and the current No. 10 Pro Hero.
She employed Nejire Hado, Ochaco Uraraka and Tsuyu Asui during the Shie Hassaikai Arc.
When we then move onto her powers and abilities section we begin to get a bigger idea of what we’ll be working around for this one.
Here’s how they break it down before even moving into her Quirk:
Enhanced Strength: Ryuko’s dragon form gives her great strength, which she demonstrated by blocking Rikiya Katsukame’s punch, a large yakuza with superhuman strength, and then to smash him into the ground. Later, despite her stamina having been drained, she was able to grapple with him for a few moments as well as knock him back, hurting him in the process. The latter feat is particularly significant, as Rikiya had just shrugged off a powerful attack from Nejire.
Immense Durability: Ryuko is extremely resistant to blunt trauma in her dragon form. Despite being weakened by Rikiya’s Quirk, she took no damage when Nejire used her most powerful attack to drive Rikiya and her into the ground, a move that knocked him out, despite Ryuko being the only one who was hit by the shockwave directly.
So if that wasn’t clear: we’re going to be using weights for this one and looking to increase our strength.
Ryukyu’s Quirk: Dragon also plays a part in this.
Her Wiki Fandom describes it as such:
Dragon: Ryuko’s Quirk gives her the ability to transform into a large western dragon. This form grants her superhuman strength and durability, powerful jaws and claws, and wings which allow her to fly.
We’re not going to learn how to turn into a dragon and we won’t be learning how to fly, BUT the focus remains on enhancing our strength.
We’ll also need to work on our endurance to function like the hero Ryuku is, but that goes without saying.
So get ready for weights and stamina work.
