Ty Lee Training Plan: Workout like An Acrobat!
Fandom
In this segment of the Character Training Series, we are bringing in Ty Lee, known for being an expert acrobat in the fire nation!
We've previously covered a few ATLA characters, so we decided to expand on this universe.
You can check them out here - Avatar Aang Workout, Korra Workout, and the Iroh Prison Workout.
This workout will help you get into peak physical condition, increasing flexibility and overall body weight control!
Let's get right into it, starting with the physique ranking.
Ty Lee Physique Ranking
Over at Action Hero Athletics, we devised a system for physique analysis. We call it the attainability scale.
This system helps us discover the realistic aspects of a character's physique and if it is genuinely realistic/attainable.
Tier 1: Realistically achievable (Natty)
Tier 2: Giga Genetics (Natty, but maybe not as easily attainable)
Tier 3: Not natty (requires PED's for maintenance)
Ty Lee's physique is ranked at Tier 1 - Realistically Achievable (Natty).

Ty Lee Workout Principles
This is the part where we discuss some of Ty Lee's performance-related feats and discover the correct approach to a training plan!
Agility Training: Ty Lee's agility allows her to be explosive while remaining swift and consistent with her movements and, most importantly, balance! For agility training, including exercises that involve balance and explosiveness will be super important for this training program.
Acrobatic Ability: Ty Lee is well known for her crazy acrobatic skills. Her background is in performing, which soon translated to combat. We will include many complex skills related to that area of expertise to train for this.
Overall Strength: We know that achieving acrobatic ability will require some form of strength. For this, we will incorporate calisthenics, also known as bodyweight training, which involves nothing but your weight as resistance.
