Onepunch-Man Fitness

Here is the first of many images for Picture of the Month (PotM)!! Today's picture stars a Manga character named Saitama from the series Onepunch-Man. Onepunch-Man is an action/comedy/supernatural style manga. The story revolves around the main character Saitama who originally was an ordinary human that discovers he wants to be a super hero. Saitama then trains vigorously for 3 years and becomes ungodly powerful. So powerful in fact that he now defeats all his enemies with only ONE PUNCH!! Saitama meets with several other heroes and joins a hero alliance and works towards saving the world while increasing his hero rank. Saitama however is frustrated that all his battles now are instantly over and never provide him with any excitement because they always end after only one punch. 

I like this manga because it has a humorous story, amazing art work, and despite the fights ending with one punch the author still incorporates many awesome fight scenes. It currently has two different versions out. The one I linked to is a combination piece where the original author teamed up with an awesome artist to redo it. The other version called Onepunch-Man (One) is done solely by the original author (the author's pen name is ONE). One's artwork is somewhat under par but this version of the story has progressed further along than the redo with the plot.

The other reason I chose this for my PotM is because Saitama in this frame is explaining to the other heroes how he became so powerful. When you understand how powerful Saitama really is you know that this workout routine is completely impossible to achieve the strength he has. For example Saitama can defeat huge enemies that destroy sky scrapers in the blink of an eye (it's meant to be a humorous panel because Saitama is saying it so seriously). Anyhow despite the humor intended by this panel it does speak to a truth that all people aiming to get in shape can appreciate. If you build your workout and diet and work hard and stick to it every single day you will see results. Working hard EVERY SINGLE DAY is the point I wanted to drive home with picture. This doesn't necessarily mean working out everyday, but it does include working hard at eating right, getting enough rest, and everything else needed for improving your health. If you can do that you will get results and you will reach your goal.There will not be any shortcuts and it will take time, sweat, a few tears, and maybe a little blood but you can get there!! This is the awesome thing about health and fitness that anyone and everyone can get there with hard work and determination. So go out there and work hard everyone and you will see results!! ^_^
