Finding yourself in a New Year, New You mood? Here are the top anime fitness icons that have helped me achieve my fitness goals
From Dragon Ball's Master Roshi to One Punch Man's Saitama, anime is so often about achieving greatness through hard work and training. Which is why I make no secret that it has been a big influence on my fitness journey.
Friends, it is a new year and, if you’re like many people, that means you’re hitting the gym for the first time in a few months to work on your resolution to get into shape. As I looked out into the crowded gym floor this week, my mind turned, as it often does, to anime and the impact it has had on me. Specifically, how anime has inspired my fitness journey.
As someone who has spent a fair amount of time in the gym (yet never as much as I’d like) over the past 25 years, I am pretty used to gyms becoming more difficult to navigate in January and February. And I’m glad! I want to see people hitting their goals, whatever they might be. It sparks genuine joy within me even as I curse that the squat rack is currently occupied.
