Creating modern day warriors by reconnecting as nature intended and focusing on the simple essentials of life
Way of the Viking is a community of men brought together with one simple aim....to feel positive about life!!
By focusing on the physical, mental, spiritual and communal aspects of fitness and health we aim to create a support network, and a sense of belonging with other men seeking challenge, adventure, camaraderie, competition and good laughs along the way.
The aim of the programme is to keep you accountable to daily tasks that are set out purely to move you forwards in each of the realms of personal development spoken of above.
There is a strong team element to the programme and many men find this fills a void left from no longer participating in team sports or for some, their first chance to ever have that type of environment.
But most importantly it is for men who want to feel their best in life.....and are willing to commit to doing the tasks that will enable that to occur
When you sign up to Way of the Viking your first task is to decide on a challenge that you would like to commit to or commit to our group challenge which varies from programme to programme. Something that frightens you a little bit but IS achievable with a bit of determination and graft. Together we also decide to raise money or simply awareness for a charity or cause to give you more purpose in your completion of the challenge .
We train together, we hike together and we commit to various weekly targets around our movement and exercise goals to achieve our eventual desired fitness goals.
Alongside a team of men we build a community pulling together in the same direction. We have various targets and we will push each other and challenge each other along the way. But we will also be there to support one another when life needs it. Our Round the Campfire chats are the opportunity to explore our minds aswell as our bodies and to grow as a team unit. Once we understand each others troubles and motivations we can understand each other...that fosters our team dynamic.
Being outside is an essential to our programme. We hike amongst the most beautiful nature and scenery aswell as cold water therapy through post gym session sea dips. Having that connection and awe of being outside and in time with sunrise often we can truly feel connected and yet disassociated from the stresses of daily life .
Whilst this isn't necessarily a weightloss programme we do believe that having a body that is as efficient as it can be and enables you to feel confident around your looks is important. And one factor that delivers these results...a positive nutrition plan. We seek to create habit and behaviour change methods around our nutrition so as to create nutritional habits that stick.
We use coaching tools and coaching sessions to develop our mental fitness and resilience. We look to explore our barriers to either success OR happiness OR both! Through discussion and working models we create opportunities to explore our minds, our values, our ambitions and most importantly seek to discover our authentic selves so that we can be happy with who we are .
