Indian Club Fitness Training

Series Summary

In the late 1800s, Indian clubs are exercise equipment that were used in choreographed patterns led by an instructor. Wooden clubs of various weights are swung in different rhythms and routines resembling aerobic exercises. Resembling aerobics and juggling, this exercise was introduced for physical fitness purposes by British soldiers who were stationed in India in the 1800s. It was a featured Olympic sport in 1904, but its popularity waned in the 1920s. Indian clubs are used today much in the same way that kettle bells are used for aerobic and physical fitness exercises.
