Ryoma Echizen Workout: Train like The Prince of Tennis!

Last updated on August 10th, 2022 at 04:55 pm

Being that we’re building out our Sports Themed Anime Inspired Workouts we definitely need our characters like Ryoma Echizen to hit SHJ!

We have actually seen some amazing tennis players among our Professional Athlete Workouts; like Serena Williams, Naomi Osaka, and Maria Sharapova – so we’ll have a nice base to build on for this one.

We’ll also be bringing in some other awesome sports themed anime that we otherwise might not have seen make it to SHJ based on requests alone – but will make for a fun addition for all of you SHJ Army members who are athletes as well.

Ryoma is just the start of a few weeks of new characters being added into that theme, so if you have any specific sports themed anime characters you’d like to see that we haven’t already added, don’t hesitate to leave a comment or request them using the request form!

Ryoma Echizen Stats:

Real Name: Ryoma Echizen

Height: 4’9 (at 12 years old)

Weight: 110 lbs. (12)

Anime: The Prince of Tennis

Powers: No

For the majority of the time we know Ryoma he is extremely short, but that’s because he is only 12 years old.

In the new Prince of Tennis we see him grow up with more of a slim and toned aesthetic we’ll be building this one around.

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.

Ryoma Echizen 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.

Ryoma Echizen 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 learn more about Ryoma Echizen we’ll be pulling from his Wiki Fandom page, which starts us off with a brief bio section here:

Ryoma Echizen is a first year student at Seishun Academy, which he attends immediately after his arrival in Japan after formerly residing in the United States.

Normally we would then skip the personality section of a Wiki Fandom page, but they actually lead off with a bit that is worth making note of:

He does not go easy on himself and pushes himself more, rather than letting himself rest. He is specifically a singles player, though he did try doubles once with teammate Momoshiro Takeshi. After seeing how bad he was at doubles, Coach Ryūzaki usually placed him in the S3 (Singles 3) or S2 (Singles 2) position. When captain Tezuka Kunimitsu goes away for rehabilitation for his arm, Ryoma and teammate Fuji Shūsuke take turns for the S1 (Singles 1) position. In the Nationals, Ryoma often found himself placed in the S1 position nearly every match.

The first sentence is one that is going to be the most important here.

If we move into a second Wiki Fandom page (this one coming from his Hero Fandom), they give us a bit more background information:

Although only a first year in middle school, Ryoma had already earned notoriety through winning four consecutive titles in the American Junior Tennis tournaments – all in a little over a year. Due to his nearly invincible tennis play, Ryoma has earned the label ‘prodigy’ by the age of twelve. His good looks and confidence make him highly popular with ladies, although he seems not to notice, having his focus exclusively on tennis. He is the main protagonist of the series.

If “Prince of Tennis” didn’t give it away: we’re clearly dealing with an amazing athlete.

They go on to say this at the end of his appearance section:

In the New Prince of Tennis, after training in the mountains, Ryoma is seen wearing the Black Revolutionary Brigade Jersey. Also, after the mountain training, he is always seen wearing a band-aid on his nose, due to a small injury he received while training in the mountains.

We don’t have an abilities and powers section to go through like most of our characters within our Anime Workouts Database, but we already know exactly what we’re working around here.

Here are the goals of this workout:

• Ryoma Echizen’s Lean and Toned Physique
• Ryoma Echizen Tennis Style Training
• Ryoma Echizen Speed and Endurance

We’ll be pulling from what we know from our tennis athletes and making this one awesome, but also including some Ryoma-only twists in there as well.

This one will be build around mainly calisthenics work, and you can scale down by starting with our Beginner Ninja Workout if you need to.

Ryoma Echizen Workout Routine

Training Volume:

3-6 days per week

Explanation:

Two of the greatest tennis players (that we’ve researched here at SHJ) are out there getting in some form of training 6 days per week. I’ll be programming 3 days of cardio to build Ryoma’s speed and toned physique, but I’ll also be providing a fun circuit we’ll call The Prince of Tennis Circuit that you can do weekly, as well as a full long day devoted entirely to cardio that can be repeated for a sixth day OR turned into 30-60 minutes of HIIT cardio (which I’ll provide resources for).

The Superhero Academy now comes with an Upgrade Your Workout Tool that allows Academy members to turn any SHJ workout into a 4-8 week fully planned regime detailing exact weights to lift and including reverse & traditional pyramid training, straight sets, super sets, progressive overload and more.
