An Indian club is a traditional exercise tool shaped like a slender, elongated bowling pin, usually made of wood. It is swung in various patterns to improve strength, flexibility, coordination, and endurance. Originating in ancient India as mugdar or jori, Indian clubs were historically used by wrestlers and warriors for conditioning. They became popular in Europe during the 19th century as part of physical culture training. Today, Indian clubs are valued in fitness and rehabilitation for enhancing shoulder mobility, wrist strength, and overall joint health.
