Indian Clubs; Club Swinging - Exercise.
« on: June 05, 2016, 07:10:38 pm »
I've gotten involved in this some.  I do think, should you have a sore shoulder area, shoulder sock, this is good for rehab. You work it out. As far as a serious exercise, only if one really got into it. One can make their own Indian Clubs. 

Indian Clubs means this exercise was brought over from India by Great Britain, who colonized there. Indian Clubs were very popular in the USA cerca the Civil War and a lot of people still know what they are; they saw them at gyms growing up.

This explains the Clubs though McGuire really takes more from the Iranian School; big clubs and the like. McGuire claims that if you work your way up the latter to heavier clubs, you might be able to chop a brick.

This Australian, Paul Wolkownowski, has made dozens of videos on Indian clubs, some say these clubs are good for things like aiding in rock climbing, etc.

One can purchase these or try a number of homemade versions, such as getting a kid's plastic baseball bat and filling it with sand and so on.

Weights go from a pound and a half on up to 40 lbs or more.

Indian Clubs swinging was also actually in 2 Olympic competitions.

It is my understanding, that the "House of Power" shown here, is not in Iran but made up of Iranians now living in the US in the Los Angeles hour. It is an exotic video.

When it comes to swinging things, I find that this workout is KILLER. You'll feel it in your arms AND legs the next day.

It's the workout I recommend to folks who want to start exercising again. I suggest a very light kettlebell. Anyone who can't commit to six minutes a day for two weeks doesn't want to get back into shape!

For a more complete, and slightly longer, workout, this one is pretty darn good, too (although it has some more advanced moves that really out of shape people might not be able to handle with a single kettlebell weight):

@bolobaby

Great links! There are a number of fine exercises out there.

Yes, I've been around the block a bit on kettle bells, I like the Turkish Get Up.



Which I can only really do with a fairly lightweight kettlebell. Nothing wrong with easier swings though.
