Train Like a Warrior: An Exercise Physiologist Breaks Down History’s Deadliest Fighters

Forget six-pack abs — could you survive a Viking raid, ride with Mongol horse archers, or charge like a Winged Hussar? In this solo deep-dive, I break down how five of history’s most badass warrior classes — Vikings, Aztec Eagle Warriors, Zulu Fighters, Polish Hussars, and Mongol Archers — actually trained, fought, and prepared for war.

As an exercise physiologist, I translate ancient battle tactics into modern training circuits you can start using today. Each warrior gets a custom workout, mindset breakdown, and historical context that’ll push your training far beyond basic sets and reps.
