Upper Body Ergo[meter]...! ⛮

[Sabertooth]

I was reading about UBEs and found out that I could make an impromptu one by flipping over my spin bike [a DP AeroCycle].

My Fitbit seems to be tracking rotations, too!

I looked into hand-powered trikes (for paraplegics), but those are crazy expensive.

I was trying to come up with name for this exercise in my Fitbit notes.
I decided on "cranking."

I think that it is the perfect complement to cycling.

FYI, there is a UBE with the brand name, Krankcycle, and the trademark, Kranking, so others are thinking along the same lines.

It turns out that cranking is the perfect workout for my new outdoor sport, disc golf. Innova Beginner Discs

A few gymns have them. They are used alot in physical therapy/rehab programs. I used one as part of rehab for frozen shoulder syndrome years ago.

Too many gymns focus on a certain style of strength training isolated muscle groups (typical of bodybuilders) and I think they neglect the benefits of other forms of exercise.
