I don't use them, but my mom does as part of her routine and says they've really helped with flexibility and movement. I've heard them called " Indian Clubs" before, so I had to look up club bells. The set my mom has is on Dragondoor for $60 with a DVD.

I use wooden Indian Clubs for shoulder mobility. For those, i purchased some stuff from Dragon Door (Club Swinging Essentials) to help get me going. I've got some basic exercises that i've cobbled together from the book/dvd.

Odd story: i recently found several sets of old Indian Clubs in the back of the supply room in the gym at the school i'm working at. They did used to be a very popular form of excercise many years ago.

I've also built a set of clubbells out of pipes & sand, and also picked up a set of 6 kg ones. I use them, but i don't really have any good exercises that i do with them yet...much of the Indian Club stuff doesn't translate well over to clubbells (at least for me - maybe it does eventually, but not for me yet - not strong enough!). To me, despite the shape, they seem pretty different in terms of what you'd actually do with them.

Lately i've been using sandbags more than the clubbells.

The guys at the plumbing supply store looked worried when i was buying all the parts to make it.
