I need to go to the gym, but I donât wanna so here are some batfam workout hcs that were made purely to procrastinate
Dick is a calisthenics guy 100%, and he is pretentious about it to his family and other heroes (ie: doing handstands during team meetings or just hitting a pose somebody with a spine should never do just to rub his flexibilty in Bruce *cannot touch his toes* Wayneâs face)
However he also believes in having fun while exercising and so Dick pays extra at his gym to attend every single group workout class they offer from yoga to cycling circuit, to aqua zumba, heâs always the youngest and only male to ever attend any of the classes but he likes them and the old ladies there always offer the best gossip in Gotham
Nightwing also swears by cardio drumming techniques when beating ppl up with his escrima sticks
Jason is the opposite of Dick, he simply doesnât work out
Or he claims he doesnât
He claims that his muscles are just genetics, and that heâs always been more athletic and muscular and thatâs how he survived in crime alley as a kid
Tim calls bull and says that it was probably some Lazarus pit magic which Damian disproves claiming that thatâs not how the pit works and that Todd is just some sort of genetic anomaly
In reality Jason has muscles because he doesnât own a car or a butler. His bike is used exclusively by red hood as any civilian with a bike that expensive is a walking target and he cannot be bothered.
This leads to his primary mode of transportation being his feet, he doesnât trust Gotham public transit to get him to where he needs in a timely manner so he walks/runs everywhere occasionally scaling a rooftop or two as a shortcut, heâs been doing this since he was a kid pre Batman so heâs quite used to it.
His suit and guns are also significantly heavier then the other batâs suits and weapons which also gives him the extra muscle despite ânot working outâ
Tim also doesnât work out, but he genuinely doesnât work out outside of being Red Robin, which is honestly a workout in itself
His strength and endurance typically comes from a mix of adrenaline, high pain tolerance, and stubbornness, that help him pull off inhumane feats
It is also a recipe for injury which Bruce has stressed multiple times but Tim believes that as long as he stretches heâll be fine,
He is not fine and god knows his bones and joints snap, crackle, and pop all the time but his nighttime extracurriculars are enough to keep him toned and in shape
On rare occasions he will be spotted in a gym either productively with Steph and Duke or competitively with Damian
Damianâs âworkoutsâwhich he firmly refers to as training typically consists of sparring nonstop along with practicing martial arts
He spends hours demolishing training dummies and punching bags to get his blood flowing, but heâs not allowed to train outside of the cave as his exercises has cost Alfred far too much property damage. Alfred mourns the loss of his meticulously crafted shrubbery to this day.
Damianâs also really competitive cause heâs like 10 and heâs constantly challenging people, this however backfires when his siblings donât go easy on him and it usually ends with him losing and sulking(a lot)
Damianâs favorite challenge, besides when one of his siblings pulls out a stopwatch and times him as he runs around to complete a random task is to do an endurance off on the stairmaster
Itâs the one thing he consistently wins at regardless of his opponent. Bruce practically invented the grappling hook to prevent having to use stairs and that distain of stairs has been passed on to all of his children expect his biological one
Itâs not even about the endurance, itâs more about the boredom of stair climbing, no amount of good vibes and hype songs is enough to get past more than an hour of repetitive stair climbing.
Damian however enjoys it, if he closes his eyes and zones out it brings him back to the days of the league where the architecture had hundreds of steps he was expected to climb multiple times a day and unlike most memories of the league it brings him nostalgia and peace.
Timâs gotten the closest to beating Damian on the stairmaster with a completely different approach of pretending heâs climbing the staircase to heaven, no he doesnât really believe in heaven or god but he sure as hell will not let his inability to climb stairs be the reason he canât get in, he thinks of it as practice for when he dies, a contingency of sorts
