Benefits of commercial upper body ergometers
Commercial upper body ergometers, or commercial upper cycle rowers, function similarly to an exercise bike; however, users use their arms and hands to “pedal” instead of their legs and feet. This setup offers a powerful combination of cardiovascular and upper body exercise, effectively activating the forearms, biceps, triceps and core.
Commercial upper cycle rowers are particularly valuable for rehabilitation or for those with limited lower-body mobility. They provide a reliable way to stay active and build strength. Additionally, their adjustable resistance levels make them suitable for users at any fitness level, from beginners to seasoned athletes.
