The ultimate guide to becoming a true viking in one day

– Embrace physical and mental strength, value resilience and connection to nature.

– Cultivate strong bonds with your clan (friends, family) and live in the moment without regrets, true to a philosophy of intense living.

– Opt for loose-fitting clothing made of wool, linen or leather, with a tunic, trousers and rustic boots.

– Add viking accessories: runic pendants, silver bracelets, torques or traditional brooches.

– Style your hair in braids or a warrior bun for authenticity.

– Warm up with 10 minutes of skipping rope.

– 4 sets of pull-ups, bench presses and dumbbell rows for the upper body.

– Squats, deadlifts and lunges for the lower body.

– Functional training: carrying, pulling, throwing (e.g. axes or stones).

– Prepare a feast using local produce: roast meats, smoked fish, barley bread, fresh cheese, seasonal vegetables, mead or beer.

– Share your meal as a group, focusing on conviviality and quality rather than quantity.

– Decorate your interior with solid wood, ornamental shields and Nordic motifs.

– Use tapestries, runic sculptures and objects inspired by Scandinavian mythology.

– Learn simple, robust activities: gardening, trade, DIY, crafts or odd jobs.

– Take inspiration from traditional roles: warrior raider for physical sports, clan chief during feasts, craftsman when creating objects.
