Back then they had all sorts of bizarre ways of exercising.
Just check out some of the, at the time, "modern" exercise equipment.
These however, Indian Clubs, were quite useful in building muscle.
"Indian clubs or meels are a type of excersise equipment used for developing strength. 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 pounds. 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." -Wikipedia
<Curious what one of these sessions would have looked like??>
