engineman312 Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 i spent a good part of yesterday wondering what Batman does for a work out. i know, productive. but seriously, as one of the most famous non-powered superhero's, Batman must stay in shape, and has to do it in the best way possible.Batman operates at night, so roughly eight hours of patrolling and investigating crimes. As Bruce Wayne, he is expected to make the occasional appearance at Wayne Enterprises, plus the frequent appearances with models and other beautiful women to keep up appearances of the billionaire playboy.We know he is a master martial artist, trained for years as a youth in various dojos and temples. he gets tons of practice on a nightly basis by beating up Gotham City's criminals, but i bet he, as Bruce Wayne, still hires a master once or twice a week to really practice with and refine his moves against a skilled opponent.i bet that his main work out is not too focused on cardio. I mean, he has the car, motorcycle, jet, and boat to help get him around. i bet he can run a 5-6 minute mile for a good 3 miles with his fully loaded suit, but Batman is probably not doing marathons.So i'm wondering what people think is his other work outs?

SusieBlu Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Based off the movies, what little is shown, and the animated series. Batman has a daily routine of gymnastics (including a lot of body weight exercises) and martial arts (ninjitsu mostly) plus weight lifting. He also does endurance swims though I don't remember seeing any time where he was going for a run or anything. I think as Batman he would be more focused on the explosive power and sprinting than long distance running. Quote Try everything once.

DaveSix Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Apparently, he's big into deadlifts. http://www.mensfitness.com/leisure/entertainment/batman%E2%80%99s-workout-routine-revealedThe 20-mile run on Wednesday morning doesn't fit. Batman would be a sprinter not a marathoner. Quote Link to comment

thatgirljj Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 I'm thinking back to the Mythbusters where they designed grappling hooks for Batman's utility belt. Adam & Jamie aren't that out of shape, but they were still struggling with the climb. I've got to believe he's doing more rock climbing than just an hour of bouldering once a week. At least rope climb intervals in those met-cons or gymnastics workouts....-jj Quote NF: Treedwelling assasin. Druidish leanings. Gnome. IRL: Amateur circus geek. Mad cook. Mom. Mad Max junkie.

MintyFresh Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Do you think he wears the batsuit while he does yoga? Quote MintyFreshMonk of the Muay Thai variety Here's my current challenge! Link to comment
thatgirljj Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 I would hope he'd at least take the belt off, it might be a bit painful in uttanasana.-jj Quote NF: Treedwelling assasin. Druidish leanings. Gnome. IRL: Amateur circus geek. Mad cook. Mom. Mad Max junkie. Link to comment

CLA4JC Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Batman is definitly a crossfitter. Lets face it he never misses a WOD Quote Link to comment
Arigh Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Just had a thought looking at that workout, Batman would kick some major ass at Ninja Warrior. Mt. Midoriyama wouldn't know what hit it. Quote Link to comment
