    Strength Coach, Yoga Instructor & Marine Vet Zach Zenios shows you how to do some of the most popular exercises with Indian Clubs. Indian Clubs are a terrific strength tool that don't get enough attention. They are amazing at improving joint strength and mobility in the shoulders, elbows and wrists.
    No matter your sport or what kind of athlete you are, indian clubs will benefit your body big time. If you're a powerlifter who's working on a BIG bench, baseball player working on his pitching arm or a tennis player working on her serve, the Indian Clubs should be in your training routine.
    The shoulders are especially dynamic in their range of motion and they can take a beating in many sports. Doing movements like Coach Zach demonstrates can add years to your sport and get those shoulders and other joints feeling better and performing at their best!

    Great learning video. I’m having problems with pain in my upper legs which radiates to my middle and lower right leg in particular. I’m also very tight around the shoulders and neck at times. My daughter (a pro MMA fighter) has recommended I try using Indian clubs for therapy in addition to functional patterns. I have only tried functional patterns once, but I just bought some one pound clubs to get started. Not as easy as I thought, but your video is already helping me understand and correct my form. I feel the stretch in my upper legs in addition to feeling the stretch in my shoulders, arms and wrists. I am hopeful that I will experience less pain overall and get better movement in general. The explanation is concise and easy to follow. Thank you Coach Zak 🙏🏻🦵🏻💪.
