Upper Body Ergometer

Build strength and endurance with the upper body ergometer
Classic ergometers are exercise bikes for your home or the gym, but don´t train your upper body. On the other hand, the upper body ergometer offers this proven endurance training for your upper muscles as well.
You can comfortably sit in front of the upper body ergometer and put your hands around the cranks. Especially if you are looking for an elegant and joint-friendly training option for the upper body, the upper body ergometer is the ideal device for you.

Unfamiliar training with proven results
Upper body training is classically understood as training with dumbbells or body weight training on the floor. The movements are squeezing or pulling, so either chest / shoulders / triceps or biceps and back exercises. The crank in the upper body ergometer combines both movements, it combines pressing and pulling to a round movement. Both arms are simultaneously incorporated in a full movement cycle. The upper body ergometer modifies the resistance depending on how strong you are squeezing or pulling.
Of course, for your convenience, you can always adjust the seat and train at your own height. The wood design of the upper body ergometer by NOHrD is also a real eye-catcher in the gym, house or lounge.
Become stronger
The upper body ergometer combines strength and endurance for the upper body and helps you to improve your arm and torso muscles. The round, joint-gentle movements lead you back to your best shape after an injury, allow you to start training gently or offer you an entertaining workout for the upper body.
Thus, the upper body ergometer is an optimal training device for all who appreciate varied endurance and strength training.

Overhead ergometers - targeted training for chest, arms and back

Classical bicycle ergometers, cross trainers and treadmills have one thing in common: they focus on training the legs. Upper-body ergometers, on the other hand, are designed to specifically strengthen the upper body. This makes them exotic among fitness equipment, but they offer unimagined potential for effective and sustainable training. Whether strength, endurance or cardiovascular training - with a high-quality upper-body ergometer, everything is possible.

What the upper-body ergometer is all about

The basis of the upper-body ergometer is a stable seat. This enables an active sitting position. The upper-body ergometers available on the market differ in this area. While some have a backrest for safety and increased training comfort, models without a backrest promote active sitting. This means that in addition to the arm and shoulder muscles, the torso muscles are also actively involved in the workout, which results in passive strengthening. The heart of the upper-body ergometer is the crank, which works in the same way as a bicycle ergometer, but is only operated with the arms. The entire muscle chain is strengthened in a targeted manner through the space-grasping movements and the adjustable resistance. The focus can be deliberately placed on strengthening muscle power and the cardiovascular system to increase endurance. At the same time, the active sitting position strengthens the abdominal muscles, the lower back as well as the intercostal muscles.

When are upper-body ergometers used?

In principle, an upper-body ergometer is suitable for everyone. Especially those who want to strengthen the arm-shoulder area specifically for canoeing will benefit from a session on the special ergometer. But an upper-body ergometer is also much more suitable for warming up before an upper-body strength training session than a treadmill or bicycle ergometer. However, the sports equipment was developed specifically for the needs of people with walking disabilities as well as wheelchair users. Since the legs are not needed at all when using the device, the upper-body ergometer is an ideal way to do intensive endurance training. An upper-body ergometer for home use is also ideal for strengthening the upper-body muscles that are particularly stressed in the everyday lives of impaired people.

Water resistance offers optimal training conditions

Different resistance systems are used in exercise equipment. They are often belt drives or braking systems that work via eddy current and electromagnetic brakes. All these proven systems have their individual advantages and disadvantages. Particularly high-quality upper-body ergometers, on the other hand, are equipped with a braking system that works with water resistance. The use of water as a resistance mass ensures that there is a jerky change in resistance. This makes training particularly pleasant and promotes a natural development of strength. At the same time, in addition to the risk of injury, wear and tear on the braking mechanism is reduced.

Planning the ideal training frequency and intensity

As with any piece of exercise equipment, the same principle applies to the upper-body ergometer: "Less is more!" Beginners in particular should not overdo it at the start so as not to overload their muscles and cardiovascular system. A good 15-20 minutes per day is absolutely sufficient. Much more important than the training itself, especially at the beginning, are sufficient rest periods in which the muscles can regenerate and then grow. If you have been training for a while, you can increase your training time to 30-60 minutes per session. However, there should still be at least 48 hours between two training sessions.
