The exercise classic that’s being rediscovered! Indian clubs are finding favor with martial artists, swimmers, baseball players, golfers and more. Shoulder strength, flexibility and mobility Exercise clubs build relaxed shoulder strength, conditioning the soft tissues through a wide range of motion to support athletics, weightlifting or everyday life. Shoulder pain? Back Pain? Gone Indian clubs can help release and mobilize tight shoulders and teach proper movement patterns. Nagging pain, sometimes years old, can disappear, never to return. Core strength We hear a lot about the core these days, but the swinging movements of exercise clubs require you to both produce and resist rotation - the most neglected element of core training. Watch your waist get firm! Cardio, The reaction against the tyranny of the treadmill has seen a lot of us opt for high-intensity training for our cardio. But the aerobic energy system needs to be conditioned too, and Indian clubs are an ideal way to do that while reaping many other benefits. Coordination From athletes to people who just want everyday life to be easier, most of us stand to benefit from better coordination, better movement patterns as you progress with your exercise clubs you’ll find your coordination improves, your body feels and moves better. Picking up new movements faster and getting better at the old ones can add pounds to your lifts, yards to your golf swing, or hours to your playtime with the kids. We offer 1lb, 16 ½ inch clubs and the slightly larger 2lb, 18 ½ inch clubs. No matter your strength, we recommend starting with the lighter clubs. You’ll be surprised at the challenge! Indian clubs are a revolutionary new take on an ancient classic. Wood splits, metal rusts. Our clubs are made from injection-molded reinforced polypropylene. They’ll stand up all conditions and give years of effective training.

How did searching for Indian sandwiches get me here?
TL;DR - The clubs are great, though not the prettiest. The DVD has good information, but is lacking an exercise routine.The clubs themselves feel indestructible. What ever the black material that coats the weighted core is, it feels like it can withstand any use that's within reason. I doubt the coating would hold up if someone actually tried to destroy it, but I'd like to watch them try because I'm sure it'd be harder than one would think. My clubs do have what I thought were scratches on them, but they're too even in depth and width and repeat too consistently to be just scratches. From what I can determine, it's just a manufacturing quirk. If they're designs, maybe the designer should fine a better line of work. If you care what a piece of rugged exercise equipment looks like, examine your priorities. These are not artisanal, nor are they marketed as such.The DVD that comes with it has instructional videos on some of the basic movements one can do with the clubs. The videos do a good job of explaining the movements, and even quickly shows you how to expand your movements. The instructor knows his stuff. The aesthetics of the video look to be from the early to mid 2000's, so the turtleneck and pleated khakis are a bit distracting (I jest). The only real critique I can say about the DVD is that there isn't an exercise routine, nor is there any hint on where to find an exercise routine. They do show people train with them, but as to the exact routine they're using, not a clue.Where to find a routine? Where do we find most things nowadays? Just Google enough, and I'm sure a routine will pop up at some point.

If you're looking at these clubs, you might need them for a specific purpose
If you're buying Indian clubs of this size and weight, it might be because you're going through some kind of physical therapy for one or both of your shoulders. I had a chronically dislocating shoulder: I'd either separate or dislocate it once about every 5 weeks for 11 years before I finally got surgery. I went through most of the physical therapy but still had only about 80% mobility, and hence a major dis-symmetry, between my two shoulders. My physical therapist showed me a very easy way to "spin" the Indian Clubs such that within only about 3 weeks, I regained over 95% mobility in the shoulder in which I had the operation, and am now over 95% symmetrical. Note that these clubs are VERY light and will only strengthen the smallest of muscles / stretch the ligaments in your shoulder(s) only very slightly, so they're a very short-term purchase. Meaning, once you regain your mobility you'll want to move onto something heavier. Regardless, having them readily available at home so I could use them any time I pleased is what sped up my healing significantly - as opposed to using them at the physical therapist's office only 2-3x week, I used these at home multiple times per day for a few minutes each time. I estimate I cut down on my healing time by at least 3 months so they were absolutely worth the cost. Heck, considering the co-pay to see my PT, they're not even that expensive in the first place. Totally worth it, I'm absolutely thrilled with this purchase. Once I show my physical therapist my new mobility I'm expecting she'll move me on to heavier clubs, so I'll either learn additional exercises to use these for or these will get donated to the Salvation Army.

Moderately adequate Indian Clubs
It appears to be a durable product with a great look and maximum torque in the swing, but it is not completely flat at the bottom so these clubs do not stand up straight like they should, nor do they have and easy to grip ergonomics. the engineer should have put more thought in designing these synthetic clubs since they do not have the Great feel of wood. Also the people that run these sporting goods manufacturing companies, like this one, does not carry all the sizes available that should be in stock. I originally wanted a pair of 5 lb Club which they always seem to be out of stock. If a person runs a sizable business they should be on top of things like this. If it was my business I would guarantee a full supply of every size at all times. Because of this I had to settle for three pound clubs.

Doesn't Stand Up...
Clubs for the most part are well made and were packed safely. They don't stand up on the end, which is a fairly basic aspect of indian clubs and steel maces. They are vertical in the picture, further leading you to assume they'll stand up. The ends on both are noticeably different (one is flatter than the other), so it's not like they meant it by design.If are an experienced lifter that does mobility exercises (i.e. olympic lifting or crossfit) outside of isometric lifting, and have no history of shoulder problems, I'd say go for the 2 lb first. I did and I'm glad I did. If you have poor shoulder mobility or don't lift, definitely get the 1 lb.

Not what I was expecting but works.
These are plastic. I should have read the description a little closer but I was expecting these to be wood. However, they do work the same even though I am also not sure how different these are from wooden ones

Clubs are Excellent, DVD is meh
The clubs are exactly what I was looking for. The DVD is less than what I was hoping for. It's pretty dated, but it does do the job I guess in the end. The DVD appears almost home movie-ish in its nature, and it is pretty evident the speaker knows his "stuff". The biggest issue is that he goes a little fast for the beginner to learn the routines. Wouldn't have paid the extra dollars if I knew this as I could have done better just through YouTube.

the grip is nice and strip
I have gotten the 1 pound pair with no CD. You can find plenty of videos on basics and more advanced routines on Youtube.There really is nothing to complain about, the grip is nice and strip, my hand doesn't slip and even if it did the balls at the end of the grip is there to stop your hand; the weight is exactly 1 pounds for each club, so no fuss there.I bought this to exercise my shoulders, specifically my right shoulder doesn't have the same range of motions as the left one. I have exercised for over 2 weeks now and I can definitely feel the improvement. Beginner's tip: motion your arms slowly at first and gradually speed up. OR you can hit yourself on the head like I did.
