Starfire Training Plan: Real Life Titans Workout
Fandom
On this episode of the Superhero Training Series, we will cover the alien of the Titans, also known as Starfire!
As we continue our Titans training articles, you can tune in to the Nightwing Workout if you haven't already! You can also find even more DC characters on our website - some of them include Wonder Woman, Stephanie Brown, Batman, Green Arrow, Superman, Deathstroke, and many more!
This workout will aim to make you powerful and give you the lean, amazingly proportionate physique she is seen with throughout the comics!
Starfire Physical Stats
Name: Koriand'r
Height: 5'9
Weight: 158lbs
Abilities: Superhuman Strength, flight, blast power
Alright, let's talk about it!
You guys and gals may call me biased, but like Nightwing, Starfire easily ranks as the most aesthetic female physique in the DC Universe.
I mean, it only makes sense. Nightwing is my favorite DC hero, and we so happen to have similar tastes in women.
*Let's get back into the physique description, shall we?*
As portrayed in the comics, Starfire has the physique every woman wants. To sum it up briefly, she has an athletic body that can not only look great in terms of performance but is also proportionate enough to be labeled as an "hourglass body."
This is pinnacle aesthetics when we look at the composition of the female physique. It can be passed up for a model but also has striations similar to those of a track athlete or a martial artist.
We'll call this one "Proportions and Performance".

Starfire 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)
Starfire's physique is placed in the Tier 1 category - Natty.
One thing I just remembered. Most aesthetic bodies are naturally achievable, making this even better!
Starfire Workout Principles
This is the part where we review her performance-based feats, which gives us some direction in creating a workout plan!
While Starfire's ability to unleash energy blasts, fly in the air, and do many other cool things may not be achievable in real life, here are some things we can apply to help us perform like her!
Super Strength: There is no other way to achieve super strength than strength training! For this, we will strictly focus on Starfire's performance. When we think of a hero with super strength, we may tend to think of someone who can lift vehicles, buildings, and even people!
So, to achieve this level of strength, we will diligently focus on achieving real-world functionality for the strength gains and follow a training split for the proportions!
Energy Blasts: I know what I said - we likely can't achieve that with ordinary training. But we can incorporate the principle of energy blasts, which can be translated into plyometrics!
Rather than shooting energy beams, we will focus on power output and energy expenditure as far as being in the gym!
Superhero Endurance: This is all part of the Superhero playbook. Everyone needs to have some type of endurance if they want to become the hero of their story. This aspect right here only makes sense.
Now, how do you do it like Starfire? As I mentioned earlier, her body resembles a track athlete's, so there are many sprints!
