I was doing a little research on how Vikings trained.

From what I found, their training came from a combination of:

• Daily physical labor
• Combat sports and wrestling
• Lifting and throwing heavy objects like stones and logs
• Building and rowing boats for strength and endurance
• Carrying heavy materials
• Practicing with weapons such as spears, axes, swords, and bows
• Balance and coordination training to stay steady in battle or at sea
• Developing a warrior mindset—training both body and mind for confidence and resilience

There’s a lot we can take away from this!

Just imagine if you incorporated some of these principles into your own training—the kind of physical and mental strength (and the physique to go with it) you could build.

That’s exactly what I did with my Viking Valor Kettlebell program.

Here’s one of the benchmark workouts you’ll do:
