Let’s workout like it is the year of 1866!
Indian Clubs // Kehoe exercise No.6
Have you seen how beautiful Kehoe’s book is from 1866? The book is filled with contemporary drawings from that time and you get a feel of the past!
– Background about this short clip: Lately I’ve been reading in the “The Indian club exercise” book from 1866 by Kehoe. After a while I wanted to swing my Indian Clubs according to the different drawings of swings in the book. As a fun project I’m starting to swing the different exercises. There was of course no Youtube back in the 19th century and it can be very challenging to interpret what the pictures actually depict. Luckily we have the description as well as the drawings.
– How I interpret No.6: Exercise No.6 from the book is a combination of back and front circle! It’s half circles only and the shift to the back circle is really fun!
– How I swing: I’m mindful of the grips, the grip changes are happening very fast. It’s basically swings cut in half. I had to make sure that the back swing also wasn’t sloppy. Keep the arms horizontal, use a mirror if needed (and practice first with a light club).
– Other: This is my own interpretation of the swings.
