    About this ebook

    First published in 1866, The Indian Club Exercise is a vintage exercise book featuring original illustrations and classic workout routines to help beginners master the skill of Indian clubs.

    Complete with the original illustrations and figures, this volume features a series of workout routines and exercises that are perfect for beginners. The opening chapters include an introduction to the art of Indian clubs, as well as a history of physical culture.

    Indian clubs, or Iranian clubs, are a type of exercise equipment resembling elongated bowling pins that are traditionally used to develop strength. They are usually wooden, but come in a range of shapes and sizes and can weigh anywhere from a few pounds to fifty pounds each. Indian clubs were most commonly used in Iran during exercise classes that would include choreographed routines led by an instructor.

    This volume features chapters such as:

      - General Remarks on Physical Culture
      - Introduction to the Exercises
      - The Alphabet of the Club Exercise
      - The Exercises, with Illustrated Figures
      - Exercises for Ladies and Concluding Remarks

    This traditional exercise book has been proudly republished by Read & Co. Books. Not to be missed by those who are interested in classic workout guides or fitness enthusiasts who want to try something new.
