Answer 1

Indian Clubs are a category of exercise equipment popular in the late 19th and early 20th century in Europe, the British Commonwealth and the United States. They comprise bowling-pin shaped wooden "clubs" of varying sizes and weights, which are swung in certain patterns as part of an exercise program. They can range from a few pounds each, up to special clubs that can weigh as much as 50 lb. They were used in carefully choreographed routines where the clubs were swung in unison by a group of exercisers, led by an instructor in the front, similar to modern aerobics classes. The routines varied according to the group's ability and the weight of the clubs used.

Indian Clubs derive their name from the much larger and heavier objects of similar shape traditionally used by martial artists in India to train for strength.

They were exceptionally popular during the health craze of the late Victorian era, used by military cadets and well-heeled ladies alike, and even appeared as an Olympic sport briefly. Gymnasiums were built just to cater to club exercise groups. The popularity of the Indian Club waned in the '20s and '30s as organized sports became more popular. Regimented exercise routines, like those requiring Indian clubs, were relegated to professional atheletes and the military, who had access to more effective and modern strength training equipment.
