Manual of Gainful Exercise: D&D Subclass Workouts

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Set your heart ablaze and go beyond your limits!


The Manual of Gainful Exercise is a collection of over 100 workouts, each based on a D&D 5E Subclass. Each has varying intensities and styles ranging from stretching and mobility to gymnastic strength to metabolic burners to power/olympic lifting complexes. I sincerely hope there's something in here for you and your current capabilities. Even if this just inspires you to move your body, that's a huge win - and something to be proud of!

I'm open to feedback and would love you to help you personally with any modifications you may need and that I can include in the text!

Good luck, have fun, and move with pride!

-Steve Huynh

What's inside?

  • 119 workouts based on the D&D sublcasses and 14 additional workouts - all fully tested!
  • An introduction, common modifications for beginners, and a section on why I wrote this.
  • Tables organizing workouts by Subclass, Challenge Rating (CR), and Location.
  • A glossary explaining the fitness terms used.

I stumbled across this practically day 2 of 2024 and I already love it. I even built a Google Sheets companion for it, and I'd like to know if I could post a link for other people to use. Mr. Huynh, if that is okay, please let me know!

I wonder if this has any relation to this Manual of Gainful Exercise, uploaded to sibling site drivethrurpg.com in 2007:

Haha, looks like the only relation is the general love of being strong (and all the various ways you can define that)!

You're right. Looking more closely at the other one, it looks like that one's for characters, not the real world.

I wonder if any DMs have used this as a way for their player's characters to level up or gain proficiency in-game. Say, complete the rogue workout in between sessions and get a +1d4 modifier in some stat, feat, roll.

You know, I once tried out a system where your real-life exercises did affect your character sheet. It was fun for a bit, but then I realized that I was "grinding" my exercises more than I was getting physical/emotional/mental value out of them - and worse yet, sometimes I'd push a little too hard just to get a bit more value for my character.

Ultimately I stopped doing it because I found my time at the gym/doing exercise was more fun and enjoyable when I was just focusing on my movement and wellbeing, rather than trying to secure a bonus.

But that's just me! It might totally work for others!

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
