Advantages of the upper body trainer – Sit and Push
This outdoor fitness machine offers many advantages of a classic chest press:
- Versatility: in addition to the chest muscles, other muscles in the upper body can be targeted by choosing different handle positions (e.g. at the front of the handle or at different positions on the hand lever).
- Different fitness levels: The required resistance can be easily controlled by varying the foot position. A sense of achievement is guaranteed!
- Strength and flexibility: Regular training with the outdoor chest press improves both muscular strength and flexibility.
- Nature and fresh air: chest training in the fresh air promotes joy of life and general well-being.
INDIVIDUAL TRAINING
Instructions for use
To use the outdoor chest press as intended, you should observe the following instructions:
- Sit on the seat, grasp the handlebars with your hands and push them forward. Ensure a full range of motion, but not to the maximum extension of the arms.
- Move your arms slowly and purposefully back and then forward again.
Perform the exercise in a steady rhythm. Avoid overexertion.
Tips for effective training
Training duration: For beginners, we recommend 2 – 3 sets of 2 – 5 repetitions. After around 4 weeks of regular strength training on the outdoor chest press, increase the training intensity to 5 – 10 repetitions for 2 – 3 sets. After a further 6 weeks, try 10 – 15 repetitions of the exercise per round.
Effort: The resistance can be easily controlled by the position of your feet and hands (on different positions of the hand levers). If your feet are on the footrests of the upper body trainer – press / sit and push, then lift your entire body weight. If your feet are on the floor in front of the outdoor chest press, it will be easier and you can reduce the resistance exactly as you wish.
Training intensity: You can influence the level of difficulty of this chest workout by varying the duration of the workout and the tips for varying the effort required.
