First Degree Fitness Fluid Upper Body Ergometer - Heart Rate Receiver

First Degree Fitness Fluid Upper Body Ergometer An Upper Body Ergometer is a machine designed to engage virtually every muscle in the upper body during a workout. As a cardiovascular apparatus, it increases blood flow to the arms and provides as a great pre-workout to resistance training. By increasing blood flow, the muscles can work to metabolize fat; by working out on a higher resistance level, the cross-sectional area of the muscles can increase and provide greater stamina and strength. The First Degree Fitness Fluid Upper Body Ergometer can be used in either a standing or sitting position. When used in the standing position, the UBE engages all core muscles of the mid section. When used in the sitting position (which is also great for people confined to wheelchairs), the UBE engages muscles of the shoulders and arms. Depending on what muscles you're working to improve, the ergometer can help you build and tone your muscles quicker with its patented fluid technology. Fluid technology is a great substitute for traditional weights because it provides for a smoother resistance medium rather than the inconsistency of constantly shifting a large amount of weight. This provides for better mechanical action of the muscles. Work out with 20 different resistance levels on 3 different seating positions to achieve your cardiac and resistance workout. The UBE can also operate in both forward and backward directions, so you can work out your agonist and antagonist muscles by switching the direction of rotation. Additionally, a user-friendly computer can help you track your progress while working out, so you achieve your results in a faster manner.
