This anime inspired fitness challenge was inspired by the non-wizarding, peculiar but powerful, Mash Burndead from the Mashle anime.
For those of you who are not familiar of Mashle, Mashle is a series that combines magic and muscle! Mash Burndead is the main character who ends up in a school for wizards but is not welcomed there due to his non-wizarding abilities. Mash is on a journey to become a Divine Visionary and wants to prove that muscle is more powerful than magic! Throughout the series, Mash proves that he has tremendous amount of muscle strength such as when we see him lift his opponents above his head before he slams them, muscular and cardio endurance such as enduring strenuous battles with minimal affect to his performance, explosive power such as when he sprinted down the cliff to save his friends before they hit the ground and of course, possesses advance fight skills. This anime inspired fitness challenge, Mashle Fitness Challenge will challenge aspiring anime warriors to complete a series of exercises to test their muscular strength, muscular endurance and explosive power.
