A
middle-aged man in Japan has gained attention online after performing
the same training routine as the famous anime hero, Saitama , known for
his ability to defeat any enemy with a single punch in the series “ One Punch Man.” “.
The individual, calling himself “Tasuke (タスケ)” on the
Internet, shared his results after a year of following Saitama's strict
routine, which includes 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 air squats, and
10 km of daily running.
According to
the report published on April 20, “Tasuke” began his adventure following
Saitama's training on April 21, 2023. At that time, his weight was 74.7
kilograms and his physical condition was not optimal due to his weight. and
age. However, after a year of dedication, “Tasuke” transformed his body into a
lean but muscular 61.9 kilogram version , similar to Saitama's,
completely eliminating the gelatinous belly he previously had.
However, the
initial enthusiasm was overshadowed when on May 3, “Tasuke” shared a video
advising against Saitama's training. In his experience, the training
regimen is “half-assed” and is not enough for those looking to increase their
muscle mass. Additionally, excessive running can atrophy muscles and make
training detrimental rather than beneficial. “Tasuke” concludes that
doing the routine every day is totally inappropriate and that anything in
excess can be harmful to your health.
This
experience leads us to reflect on the influence that entertainment media, such
as anime, have on real life. While Saitama's workout routine has been
inspiring to many, it's also important to remember that every body is different
and not all exercise regimens are right for everyone. It is crucial to
listen to our own body and adapt our workouts according to our individual needs
and abilities.
Meanwhile,
“One Punch Man” fans are eagerly awaiting the anime's third season, which was
previously announced. The
franchise has gained widespread popularity both in Japan and internationally
due to its unique plot and the protagonist's fascinating ability to defeat his
enemies with a single blow. The third season promises to continue the exciting
story and satisfy the expectations of fans of the series.
