Having fun with meel and jori: 21 exercises for the chosen swingers

In this video you can see how using two clubs works the shoulder and upper back muscles (deltoids and trapezius). Using a single club engages the muscles on the opposite side of the body (the obliques and intercostal muscles). One specific exercise with a single club (shoveling sand) works the latissimus and erector spinae (lower back) muscles. The stop – start motion of the clubs in these exercises may offend the purists that prefer smooth circular movements. The forces involved in decelerating the clubs, and then accelerating them again, means that the exercises become more intense, that is why I do it. All the clubs used in this video were hand carved. If you want to see how I made them, follow this link: Making the clubs provides almost as much exercise as swinging them!
