Hindu excercises

Some of the comments on this board reminded me of scenes from the "APU Trilogy" - a series of films made in the 1950s. I just did a quick video edit and uploaded the result here:

In the clip you see Hindu pushups, a guy doing something scary with a large "hammer", and Hindu squats.

The people complaining about lack of pectoral/leg exercise might like to add the pushups and squats to their workout.

Is anybody here brave enough to try the stone-swinging exercise with their hammer?

I wonder how many of those stones ended up in the river...

PS: The films are really worth watching if you can get a copy.

Very cool!

I absolutely love both "Hindu Pushups" and "Hindu Squats" as a complement to shovelglove....

And that hammer exercise looks very cool....

Thanks for putting that up.....

The three things together a very complete workout. Maybe you could split it - 14 minutes shoveling in the morning and 14 minutes pushing/squatting in the afternoon.

So did you try it yet?

Thanks for posting the clip!

P.S. ditto fungus: these are great films. The third one especially, I think.

I'm just heading off to see the third film now....

PS: Did you replicate the move?
