2lb Pair Indian Clubs
The 2lb Pair Indian Clubs are more physically demanding than the 1lb Pair Indian Clubs and are more for strength and power. The heavier indian clubs will not only increase shoulder and extreme range of motion strength but you will also notice better grip, wrist, and forearm strength. As with the smaller indian clubs, you should also be able to reduce injuries due to the full circular patterns of the indian club exercises.

Why train with Indian Clubs?
The shoulder girdle is by far one of the most movable areas of the body but it is also one of the most fragile. For serious and recreational athletes alike, the pain and instability that results from shoulder injuries can jeopardize careers and alter lifestyles. As with many injuries, this number could be greatly reduced with the proper care and training.
Strength of the shoulder should be complemented by flexibility, yet many Americans never fully develop their natural shoulder girdle mobility and muscular balance. When the ball-and-socket joint of the shoulder is made strong, aligned and mobile, other joints like the wrist and elbow also benefit.
Indian Club swinging can be described as circular weight training but can exercise the shoulder, wrist, and elbow in ways not possible with traditional linear weight training. Indian Club swinging will not only strengthen muscles and ligaments, maintain joint flexibility, and improve range of motion but will greatly reduce risk of injury.
You will also notice improved grace, rhythm and eye-hand coordination due to the concentration and neural demands necessary to perform the movements. The benefits of Indian Club Exercises are enormous and can greatly enhance the performance of any athlete.
