Resident Evil Requiem Players Share Tips to Get Buff Like Leon

Thanks to its quirky hero and those chunky-bottomed zombie babies, Resident Evil Requiem has emerged as one of the standout titles of 2026. Leon Kennedy, the returning protagonist, has not only solidified his status as a fashion icon with his impeccable jacket choices but is also becoming a fitness role model. Fans of the series are now trading diet and workout tips on social media, all in pursuit of achieving Leon’s impressive, muscular physique—without resorting to any dubious supplements from the Umbrella Corporation.

On Reddit, a self-proclaimed gym novice reached out to fellow zombie hunters for advice on getting fit like Leon, after being dismissed from fitness forums for mentioning a video game. While many fans chimed in with jokes about Chris Redfield’s steroid use and his legendary boulder-punching feats, some took the time to share genuine fitness advice.

One commenter, identifying as a personal trainer, provided some solid beginner tips: “Honestly, as a newbie, consistency is key, with nutrition coming in a close second. That’s what really matters. You’ll see some quick gains at first, but it takes years to achieve that level of fitness. If you want a structured program, consider meeting with a trainer or using free resources online or from fitness communities, and it should serve you well. Just be careful and don’t push yourself too hard. Always ask for help if you need it at the gym.”

Another seasoned gym enthusiast shared more specific advice, honing in on Leon’s body composition and upper-body strength.

It seems this Redditor isn’t the first to look for a Leon Kennedy workout plan. The idea of “look like Leon” workouts has turned into a bit of a niche trend on social media, especially leading up to the launch of Resident Evil Requiem. The consensus appears to be: concentrate on your biceps and triceps, and make sure to consume plenty of green, red, and blue herbs.

Capcom has revealed that Resident Evil Requiem will introduce a new mini-game in May, along with story DLC later this year. Unfortunately, it’s likely that these expansions won’t delve into Leon’s workout routine or his mysterious wife. Still, there’s plenty of time to make some impressive gains before then.

So, who’s the lucky lady?
