Conquer your world with a powerful Shield maiden mindset

An article published in the Guardian; Oct. 24, 2016, entitled “Why Iceland is the best place in the world to be a woman” provides historical clues for the creation of the Shield-maiden mindset. “For centuries, this seafaring nation’s women stayed at home as their husbands traversed the oceans. Without men at home, women played the roles of farmer, hunter, architect, builder. They managed household finances and were crucial to the country’s ability to prosper.” Viking women were fierce and fiercely independent. Women in Viking times enjoyed more rights and freedom than women of perhaps any other culture and likely more rights and freedoms than women in many present-day societies. There is evidence that women accompanied men on these excursions, possibly as Shield-Maidens. 

Kittie Bernott writes in her Feb. 25 issue of the Shield Maiden’s Sanctum: the human spirit paints a picture of the shieldmaiden as a woman who cared about honor, prided herself on both inner and outer strength, and fought for the people and the causes that she loved. The shield-maiden spirit lives on in any person who holds these things dear.

Focus your training and fitness regimen to become "Shield-maiden Strong."

Viking era men and women had few, if any, adversaries that they could not dominate. They profited from a near-perfect balance of nutrition, mindset, occupation, and training. Physically, they were robust and powerful.

Vikings were farmers first, and their physical strength and stamina profited from meeting the challenges of a tough existence in a challenging, sometimes brutal environment. They worked and trained to develop power and strength in the area of their bodies they referred to as their “battle Chassis.” It’s interesting to me how the foundational elements of fitness have come full circle. The muscle groups Vikings once referred to as their battle chassis are known to 21st-century fitness enthusiasts as their core.

Viking men and Shield-maidens were formidable and usually superior warriors because they could handle their weapons AND had the “rear end” to back it up. We’ll train all other elements of fitness as well to ensure that you get into the best physical condition possible.
