Skeletons found in Viking burials suggest the Norsemen were muscular.
This makes perfect sense considering their daily lives involved farming, hard labor, and brutal raids.
But they didn’t have the physique of today’s Hollywood action stars on steroids. Instead, think of a
drug-free powerlifter, swimmer, or thrower, weighing in at around 175 pounds—that’s likely what a real Viking looked like. They were strong, functional, and built for battle.
Today, I’ve got a killer Viking-inspired workout for you. The Thor’s Hammer Workout mimics the kind of functional, intense training Vikings needed for their raids. It’s fast, brutal, and built to hit hard and move on—just like they did.
