How would Aragorn train? He's always said to be strong, athletic, and an exceptional warrior.
This question led me onto the broader one of how people in medieval times, knights and warrior kings such as Richard the Lionheart, would have trained. Their diets would presumably have been much poorer, and they didn't have the luxury of weight training as we know it today; so if someone wanted to become stronger on the battlefield, or become more athletic, what would they have done?
why would their diets be poor? they'd just eat veggies, cheese, meat, bread etc.

Aragon was a superior man becuase he had elven blood.
Knigts and lords in medieval times were literally raised from birth to fight

Lolno
And it would be a mix of calisthenics, probably wrestling, fencing, some cultures did strongman-esque training with stones and logs etc.
>>37047091
they were all cardio bunnys back then
>>37047091
You are right; they didn't get bodybuilder-huge, but they were certainly ripped and muscular as fuck.
Try horseriding, sword fighting (sometimes in full armor) and calisthenics every day and see how you wind up.
Also, their food was great; specially for knights. Plenty of meat, cheese, milk, veggies etc. And their rest of their food was handmade, and not the processed shit we eat nowadays.

Hmm, well I don't have the European fencing manuals with me. But from what I remember, they ran, they swam in lakes, they performed an early version of what we now call Calisthenics, they lifted stones and logs overhead.
Couple that with weapons training and sparring. And you have a training regime.
>>37047091
sparring for hours every day most likely
aragorn was also basically a demigod in the lore as he was descended from numenoreans, you're better off asking how someone like boromir would train

Also. They trained in armor. Maybe not for everything, but they most definitely did weapons training in armor.
Why is everyone obsessed with cheese all it does is get you fat
the bread and veggies and shit I'm with you

It was also a vital source if many nutrients and an excellent way to store and process excess milk way back then.
Might not be as good now, but hey. It was the best they had.

american cheese maybe, you fucken idiot.
European cheese has excellent macros outside of the really creamy ones.
>>37047217
