This anime inspired fitness challenge was inspired by one of the most wildest villains in the Dragon Ball Universe, Kid Buu.
The Dragon Ball Universe includes a number of villains that gave the Z-Fighters a run for their pride but one of the most threatening villains and just so happens to be my favorite villain is Kid Buu. Kid Buu has what seemed as unlimited power, ultimate speed and a unique power of yelling from the top of his lungs to blast his targets. Combining these powers with his child like behaviors with taunting and unpredictable fighting skills made him one of the most (in my opinion) unique villains in the Dragon Ball Universe. This anime inspired Dragon Ball fitness challenge, Kid Buu Fitness Challenge, will challenge warriors muscular endurance, strength, mobility and agility through a series of exercises that imitates some of the movements we would possibly execute and experience if we were to stand toe-to-toe with this wild child, Kid Buu.
