Workouts

*WORKOUTS COMING SOON*

There’s no single way to train with our Dragon’s Edge weighted daggers. Every workout can be a training montage, a mission, a battle you choose to step into. The daggers move with you across formats, moods, and stories, turning familiar movement into something more focused, immersive, and fun. Aelin on the battlefield, Violet on the training mat, Cassian or Xaden pushing you to keep going.

Flow through yoga and hold Warrior II a few breaths longer as your arms begin to shake. Add them to sculpt or pilates for slow, controlled endurance work. Bring them into combat cardio, kickboxing, or martial-arts–inspired training for power, rhythm, and resolve. Combine all the formats you love. Some days the work is fluid. steady, calming; other days it’s sharp, athletic, and demanding.

Training doesn’t have to happen only on a mat. Use the daggers seated on the couch, reading, journaling, or studying — just as our favorite characters sharpen their minds while strengthening their bodies, strategizing in ancient libraries before returning to the training floor. Slow arm holds, controlled lifts, and steady breathing build strength quietly and intentionally, even in moments of stillness.

For inspiration, start with formats you already love. YouTube search for combat cardio, warrior flow yoga, barre, CorePower, kickboxing, martial-arts–inspired HIIT, or warrior sculpt and let those movements guide you. The daggers don’t dictate how you move — they deepen the experience, inviting focus, intention, and endurance into whatever style you choose.

Your breath quickens. Your arms burn. You sweat. Your head clears. You get stronger — body and mind. Each session is part of your story.

Listen to your favorite fantasy or sci-fi audiobook or create your inspirational cinematic Spotify playlist. Pick up your daggers and enter your own story. Build your own training montage.

Fun Ideas on How to Train with Your Daggers:

  • Warrior Pose Power: Take your favorite yoga or strength moves and swap dumbbells for daggers - feel like a true Warrior Queen holding Warrior 2, or add time under tension with arms extended in Goddess pose
  • Isometric Holds & Throne Arms On the Couch: Sit on your couch, extend arms out to the sides (our Long May She Reign sequence), and hold while watching your favorite show or move. Start with 30 seconds, add arm circles, work up time. 
  • Reading Workout: Alternate arm holds and side lifts while reading - dagger in one hand, book or Kindle in the other. Switch sides each chapter. Perfect for building endurance without thinking about it
  • Dragon Rider Balance Training: Feeling like riding a dragon and fighting like Violet? Stand on a bosu ball or a Step360 stability plate for stability challenges (like a dragon's back!) - practice uppercut sweeps and side isometric holds. Great for the core
  • Create Your Own Moves: Combine daggers with kicks, side lunges (ninja and elven vibes), overhead presses, or figure-8 patterns. Let your favorite characters inspire your flow for cardio 
  • Controlled Movement Drills: Practice slow, deliberate slashes and blocks, with some curtsy lunges (Nesta vibes) and add planks - the time under tension builds serious strength while you perfect your form
  • Morning Ritual Strength: Five minutes of overhead holds, arm circles, and isometric poses before your coffee. Start your day feeling powerful
  • Shadow Training: Face a mirror and move through combat sequences - holds, strikes, defensive stances. Build muscle memory and strength simultaneously
  • Add wrist weights and ankle weights (especially for combat kicks!): if you want to add even more resistance for special sweeps and uppercuts
  • Add weighted vest during walking with daggers as armor or winter flight leathers :)
