Does anybody here use Indian clubs as part of their fitness regimen, or have you used them? I just started incorporating a medicine ball into some of my training and like it a lot. The influence for this was a trainer at whose gym I have been having private sessions. This was an anniversary gift from my wife--the sessions, not the medicine ball, which I got at a giveaway price from the trainer. This got me to thinking about another piece of olde-timey equipment, Indian clubs. I gather they do still have a following these days. When I mentioned them to my trainer, he was quite enthusiastic and said he wished he had a pair. Although I have been aware of the existence of Indian clubs, until the past few days I knew nothing about their use. In fact, I thought they were named for my Native American kinsmen, for whom the club was a common weapon, but just learned they have their origins in the "real," Asian India.
Anyway, if anybody has used them, please let me know if you consider this a worthwhile method of training and if you recommend the acquisition of a pair of clubs. I was thinking of 2-pounders for starters.
