Ah, the idea is tempting, but the berserkers weren’t exactly lifting kettlebells, they were pounding battle drums and chanting rune‑filled war cries that made their hearts race—so yes, they did sweat, but their gym was a battlefield, not a box.

Well, a Viking workout starts with a proper warm‑up—march in place while you shout the Norse oath, jog in circles, then some gentle side‑bends and arm circles, like a shield‑bearer testing the weather. Then for the full‑body assault: 1. **Berserker Push‑ups** – ten on each hand, with the palms pressed to a heavy log, then a quick shout of “Skål!” 2. **Ragnar’s Pull‑ups** – climb a sturdy tree branch or a pull‑up bar, aim for eight, feel the wind of the fjord in your back. 3. **Viking Squats** – twenty deep squats holding a stone, mimic a warrior loading a battle‑axe. 4. **Skald’s Core** – hold a plank while picturing a sea‑foam storm, thirty‑second hold, repeat three times. 5. **Runic Lunges** – twelve forward lunges, each with a rhythmic chant, then switch legs. 6. **Shield Slam** – lie on your back, feet flat, push your torso up and slam a heavy sandbag onto your chest—three sets of five. Cool down with a slow walk, breathing through your nostrils as if inhaling the mist of a misty midnight. Remember, a true Viking doesn’t just lift, they endure, they chant, they remember the old tales that made their muscles grow. Now go, and may your sweat be as legendary as your stories!
