Just finding your channel now, these are great! Thanks for making them. The historical component of exercise is so intersting.

Y’all seriously have some of the best content. I just keep stumbling on more and more

Hope your muscles weren't too sore the next morning.

Funny how the RMT club from Weckmethod seems to be using the same principle as this club with the shifting weights.

I do it with sticks

Without any disrepute to your fantastic work I'd like to mention that the human body has been principally for at least a million years. So it would be but logical that humans all around the world think about very similar ways to strengthen it…

These exercises mobilize the entire body and allow for functional movement through out the day. Truly amazing how effective these short, seemingly simple exercises truly are.

I love historical boxing Training! Love it

This is gold.

This is truly fascinating.

The military and the circus maybe or perhaps members of noble, rich families that had the luxury of “leisure time” 😂. Everyone else had to work long grueling hours in the fields, everything was a workout, the poor worked to death and died young.

Great content

Remaining expressionless while pumping iron is hilarious! That being said, I'm currently ebaying wooden dumbells and getting after it. Cheers ol' chap! From UK.

Thank God there were no transgender athletes at the time or she would have been cheated out of the record. She was an amazing female athlete.

The last exercise is pretty much the indian "Dand". It was inspired by it, or they just arrived at this exercise by coincidence?

What I find interesting, is that we basically solved the problem with situps with the Ab Mat and other similar devices to keep the natural curve of the spine, many machines that train the abs also seem to incorporate those biomechanics, but despite all of those things being available I still see people doing normal situps all the time. Frequently rather than using the machine with the easy to adjust weight stack and lumbar support that keeps the back straight, I see people gripping the edges of a plate, putting it to their chest and grinding out sit-ups on a decline bench which seems like it is specifically designed to hurt the lower back

useful information, would you mind share the books of the olden times you were referring, author please?

Great video

As a 67-yo out of shape fella, I took up kettlebells last year, and they've done me worlds of good. I don't want to become a muscleman, I want to maintain strength and mobility so I don't turn into a shuffling old man. I just bought a 2-lb set of Indian Clubs a month ago. I only know a few basic moves so far, but I'm already feeling the benefits. Thanks for the history - previously, my only mental images of mental clubs involved mustachioed Victorian-era gentlemen in gyms, and I suppose that's not too far from the truth.

👍🏻

Subscribe 🫡👍🏻thank you

Amazing, just what I need! 😊

این ورزش هیچ ربطی به هند ندارد از ایران به هند رفته

How much are a pair of these dumbbells worth, I have an original pair in original box & instructions ?

yep i got back pain

My dad, born in the 40s, used to do some floor exercises and called them Swedish Gymnastics. I just saw a video of an 83 yo Indian woman (so similar age to how my dad would be) doing exactly the same movements my dad showed me and calling them Yoga (and don’t look at all as the poses I have encountered in other yoga videos). When I saw her doing the same thing as my dad I immediately googled Swedish gymnastics to understand the connection between yoga. This UA-cam video appeared where as we all heard it is mentioned that they are not connected as someone might think 🤔 hmmmm I am confused! I am a Pilates Teacher, Personal Trainer and have been doing exercise consistently for more than 20 years but I am very curious and impressed around the way exercise is marketed across the centuries. The body can do certain movements and some results are to be expected depending of the effort we do. Physiology and kinesiology. These are standard and are not invented - only discovered. Then, some people decided to develop methods / flows using already existing movement patterns. They put the exercises together and created their own “unique” method that has so and so effect. But nothing is really as unique as advertised. However, following a certain method consistently will indeed allow you to see a certain result in your body and mind - they save you time from having to reinvent the wheel. So yes I believe that there is a big benefit in each method - for both the creator and for the trainee too. But, I also believe that everything is based on the same principles 🤔 Ok - that was me thinking out loud 😂

ty

These classes should be brought back. If Zumba and trampoline classes are still around, this should definitely be available at gyms.

I just took up club swinging (2lb) to help strengthen my shoulders and help with my golf swing. It’s fun.

This was an excellent video!

Bravo good sir…seems a lot of moves to memorize as well. Good brain exercise as well

As a personal trainer and history buff, I find this fascinating.

When I watched the first of these, they seemed *so* low impact and easy that I assumed, in combination with the peppy band, that it was the 1920s equivalent of a modern day "abs in 20 days!" scam, full of promises and exuberance, signifying nothing. But as I kept on watching, I realized there's an inner logic to the exercises: they bend and rotate each major joint along every axis. It is a systematic application of human geometry. Genuinely seems like it would be an excellent routine for preventing stiffness for modern weightlifters, who too frequently bend their bodies only along a handful of major axes prescribed by the major lifts.

Even now most doctors aren't too interested in exercise. It's still not profitable enough when exercise is free and drugs can generate profit. Even now when we know better we would rather treat sick people with drugs than prevent sickness through good diet and exercise. Even among people who do exercise now, most people do not do it for health, they do it to look a certain way, and all too often end up doing things that are not healthy in order to achieve that. Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose (the more things change the more they stay the same).

I speculate because people was very strong because their jobs the enmphasis was on mobility, speed, flexibility, retc, instead of strengh

This way to training with light dumbells and quick movements, and high repetitions is the same chinese used from many centuries ago but using iron balls weighting only a few pounds and carrying on hand palms. Nice video, please keep sharing!

OMG MEDIEVAL BIG PHARMA WAS A THING

They were obviously far more tech savy than I first thought. In the second image at the very start several of the runners can clearly be seen wearing heart monitors. Wow mind blown.

Wonderful video. I always have difficulty squaring away whimsical medieval drawings with how war-ready they war. Village and town life are always depicted cartoonishly fun, and even violence is depicted in a manner fit for a Sunday comic strip, yet the violence and struggles were very real. What a time to be alive… Festivals, feasts, holidays, and games; then war, pestilence, feuds, and winter. I think the depth of their life experiences must have exceeded ours in every way both good and bad.

White Castle's really gonna have to up it''s game when this goes viral

I wonder if the term for glide comes from a similar but simple forward thrust in fencing. However, "glisser" as the French would say, runs along the length of an opponent's foil to its mark, and grip changes would seem very ambitious in the maneuver.

Wrong, it originated in ancient Persia not India

Can I have your sources?

Can you make a video on the arabian/islamic sports please? Because i can't believe that the arabs could Conquer both Persia and Rome without a military/athletic system

"medicalized gymnastics" sounds like yoga.

Great presentation, well done sir!
