This depends on the sort of medical/physical problem you have. I would always recommend consulting your doctor or surgeon before attempting any new exercise regime. Indian club swinging can place a lot of pressure on the joints (especially the shoulder, elbows, wrists and back to some extent) so if you have joint replacements or some degenerative condition (e.g. arthritis) it would be advisable to talk to your specialist about this before starting any fitness classes. If you want to start after a consultation with your medical practitioner then start on really lightweight clubs such as the juggling clubs, which are readily available and weigh about 250grams (half a pound). Always make your instructor aware of any difficulties you have before a class.
