Update On The Indian Clubs

Although it's only a few days but I started noticing a few differences in using the Indian Clubs. My shoulders feel a lot looser and feeling a little sharper mentally. They're a lot of fun to use so far and am happy with what they can do. I don't do a particular style of a routine, I just learn what I can do and forming patterns learned from videos and researching on the clubs.

The clubs really are a lost art in the realm of Physical Culture and with "new" and exciting programs coming out like a whirlwind today, it becomes harder and harder to find some real classic training ideas. Some companies still bring up the clubs to help people with their fitness like Onnit, Scott Sonnen's Clubbell Training, John Wood's Oldtime Strongman Site and one man who has mastered the art of the Mace and that's the big man Rik Brown.

The patterns can be tricky to learn at first like anything else but if you're willing to keep practicing and learn as you go along, sooner or later, those patterns will form smoothly and with great conviction in the movements. I do these as a first workout for the day and opening up the body and waking up the joints and muscles. The pair I have is only 2 pounds but that couple pounds can feel heavier as you keep going and hits your grip like crazy due to the steadiness you need to keep from flopping around or accidently letting go and possibly breaking something or hurting somebody.

I do recommend you get a pair yourself and learn how to use them for your benefit. Old school fitness can teach you a lot about what can be useful in the future and as awesome as some programs are today, the classics are there for a reason and not always to collect dust. There are tremendous benefits and developing the body in a healthy manner and having fun. It really works the brain too because you're constantly using patterns you don't normally use in an exercise implement on the count of most exercises have a up and down, left and right range of motions that have limited usage but when you can use your body for all sorts of directions and using circular movements for healthier purposes it goes beyond just the muscles and joints.
