			Upper Body Ergometer (Follow manufacturer's instructions for use of machine.)
			Sit upright facing the machine with the shoulders at the level of the machine's axis of rotation. Hold handles and extend one arm. (The elbow should be slightly bent when the arm is fully extended.)

			Begin turning the crank in a forward motion, alternately pushing and pulling the crank handles. Keep back straight and maintain erect sitting posture. Adjust crank speed and resistance according to heart rate response.
			Crank in reverse motion or alternate forward and backward cranking for balanced conditioning of the upper body muscle groups.

			Increases heart rate, breathing rate, circulation and muscle temperature. Improves cardiorespiratory endurance. Strengthens the muscles of the shoulders, chest and upper back (deltoids, pectorals, latissimus dorsi).
