8 Great Reasons for Upper Body Exercise







1. Enhance Daily Activities
The shoulder joint has greater range of motion capability than any other joint in your body. Flexibility is important because it enables your arms to perform all kinds of activities such as pushing, pulling, reaching, and lifting.

2. Improve Core Strength and Stability
The upper body rotary motion fires core stabilizing muscles, strengthening the abdominal and back muscles.

3. Move in Both Directions
Bi-directional resistance allows the user to exercise in both forward and reverse. It aids recruitment of reciprocal muscle groups and reduces the risk of injury from muscle imbalance. It also decreases localized fatigue, resulting in the ability to prolong the exercise.

4. Strength Train Safely
In addition to cardiovascular work, SCIFIT’s Upper Body Exercisers feature a safe, simple strength program. This Iso-Strength program is perfect for anyone, who does not like, or does not have time for traditional strength training.


5. Warm Up Efficiently 
Five minutes on an upper body exerciser, changing directions every 30 seconds, warms up and prepares the shoulders, elbows, wrists, chest, back and neck for exercise.

6. Cross Train
Cross training with upper body exercise increases overall efficiency, power and endurance as well as decreases the risk of injury.

7. Stay Fit While Recovering from Injury

Upper body exercise provides a way to stay fit while recovering from a lower body injury or surgery such as ACL and total hip and knee replacements. It is also a good option for those suffering a debilitating condition or paralysis.

8. Boost Performance
From the professional athlete to the weekend warrior, adding upper body cardio conditioning to a workout routine can improve overall performance.
