Arm-Biking – BionicOldGuy

I like workouts that enable me to get an cardio exercise with upper-body muscle mass. My favourite upper-body exercise, strolling with hand weights is impaired considerably at the moment as a result of my sore SI joint limits the size of my walks. My PT facility had a machine that allowed me to arm-cycle which I loved, and I believed it might be good to breed this at dwelling. My recumbent train bike places the pedals in a reasonably best place when it’s laid on its again. I attempted it out and acquired a superb exercise, however gripping the pedals by hand wasn’t too snug. This was simply mounted with a dowel, as proven within the photos.

I can get a pleasant upper-body exercise with this setup. I can simply cruise at a simple tempo or make it as onerous as I need by throwing in some intervals. Right here is a video displaying arm biking. That is now an fulfilling addition to my upper-body routine.
