Does Dragonball inspire you to get fitter and healthier?

[Dr. Machismo]

I feel inspired by Goku's appetite.. it changed my life....

Hope you're working out to balance things out, brah.

However, I'm too lazy and busy to work out much.

That's a shame to hear. Come on bro, being fitter and healthier only has benefits.

Yeah, but shaming people into doing things is even worse.

Plus, you don't even know his health status. Many people have good health without exercising/dieting all the time.

Exercising and dieting reduces several risks by a lot. You may not exercise all that often and still have decent health, but why settle for that?

Dragon Ball inspires me to wish I was as fit, as healthy, and as powerful as all the Z fighters, especially Goku.

[DynasticHunter]

I think at a Animazement 2013 panel this year someone said that Goku inspired him to be martial artist. That's pretty cool but as for me if Dragon Ball Z was realistic enough for me to think that I could be as strong as the Z fighters, I'd be more inspired to do more exercise and work my muscles out more.

When I started watching the series again in late 2009, I began excercising in 2010 and lost a bit of weight, unfortunately like Gohan I began slacking off in 2011.

[Scarz]

In a way it does and doesn't. I'm mostly trying to get fit in order to pull off a rule 63 cosplay of Oob. (and so far it's working). The show and characters themselves didn't really influence me to exercise or better myself. Personally, I just enjoy exercising and eating healthy and it wasn't because of DB, although it would've been neat if it did.

[RandomGuy96]

No, but it did encourage me to master the art of regeneration. Hasn't been working so far, but if I cut off my last leg, I just know it'll grow back. Practice makes perfect, after all. Similarly, I haven't been able to get down the whole mouth blast thing yet. But it'll come, it'll come.

But in all seriousness, no. Though I have been getting a bit out of shape lately. Usually, football season helps with that.

[DBZ Mick]

More get into more Japanese foods and culture and anime etc...

[Jackal puFF]

Kind of? I was more inspired by Goku's eating ways. Lol. But that helps with bulking up =D

[Codarik]

Does DB inspire me to get in shape? Yes. Do I do anything about it like I should? Nope.avi

[SaiyaJedi]

Dragon Ball inspired me to learn Japanese, and it was when I moved to Japan and was surrounded by thin people who didn't drink cola all the time that I decided to take charge of my health and get in shape. So, I suppose yes…?

That said, I am slowly getting out of shape the longer I stay away from the gym. Unlike Goku, I can't so easily abandon my family to go train….

[rereboy]

I'm healthy and have a normal weight. However, in my own free time from work I find it more pleasing to do something I like instead of working out, especially since I'm not in a shape that requires me to really need to work out. And after work and after doing things I like I don't have that much time left.

[Dr. Machismo]

I'm not asking just if Dragonball was the sole inspiration for you to get fitter and healthier, I'm asking if it inspires you today. Dragonball wasn't the sole inspiration why I wanted to get fitter and healthier (I guess that just always appealed to me), but it still inspires to get fitter and healthier.

Haha! Indeed, I imagine that must prove quite the motivation. I've never really seen many overweight people in any of my times in Japan, but I've always assumed that superior diet aside, East Asian people tend to be slighter in bone structure which itself can contribute to the appearance of apparent thin-ness. I also believe that there's evidence to suggest that Caucasion people generally have naturally slower metabolisms in comparison.

[MCDaveG]

not specifically Dragon Ball, and not bodybuilding, but Shonen in general. Everytime I excersized, I had to push it to the limit, like when my legs were feeling that stress and I had the mental urge to stop, I had to push it more.
And hell I was feeling awesome then, like destroyer of the worlds as I stopped )
I also definitely know that rusty feeling. As I stopped being outside guy, doing some recreation sports and hiking as I finished high school, I went to office work and was mostly tired, not wanting to do anything after and also not having much free time, when the end of work was at six. Well I got few kg's up thanks to this, so I need to tap into some excercise again!!!

[hulkty]

It never "inspired" me to do anything.
I already worked out and still do. I worked for my muscles, 6-pack, etc.
I won't lie... I've only met 2 DBZ lovers that have DECENTLY fit bodies... out of over 100 who are all either fat or unhealthy skinny.

[penguintruth]

I'm on the Yajirobe diet.

[Kakarot88]

YES! I first started working out cuz of the show and have some of the speeches in MP3 format on my iPhone so I can get Goku swole

[Dr. Machismo]

Seeing some good IRL physiques would be great.
