Upper Body Exercises

By: Prabhu Home | Health-and-Fitness | Exercise


Exhale as you push the weight outward away from your body. Inhale as you bring the weight backward toward your body. Start with 50 pounds for the first week. Do 15 repetitions. Do one set one exercise one time. The second week use 50 pounds and do two sets of 15 repetitions. Two sets means do the exercise twice.

The third week you may go up to 70 pounds in weight. Start by doing one set of 15 repetitions with 50 pounds. The second set, add 10 pounds and do 10-to-15 repetitions. The third set, add 10 pounds, and do 10-to-15 repetitions. The fourth week you may go up to 80 pounds in weight. But start out doing one set of 15 repetitions with 50 pounds. Repeat as before. The second set add 10 pounds and do 10-to-15 repetitions. The third set, add 10 pounds and do 10-to-15 repetitions. The fourth set, add 10 pounds and do 10-to- 15 repetitions. The sample workout card will show you how to record your repetitions and weights so that you can see your progress daily.

The Power Gym is basically a large padded board that glides along a track. It can be adjusted to different heights for different exercises and to make moves more challenging. Padded foot straps are connected to one end of the board with cables, allowing the person using the machine to work through a wide variety of exercises holding the straps with the hands or feet.

There's also a head rest that folds out of the way when you aren't using it. This makes it possible to lie down on the board comfortably and work the cables with your hands, moving your body up and down on the machine. An optional push-up bar is also available, which can be attached to the opposite end of the machine. It also has wheels mounted on the frame to make it easy to move around. When assembled, the machine is 56 inches long, 17.75 inches wide and 13 inches tall. It weighs 61 pounds, but the wheels make it relatively easy to move it around if you need to store it somewhere out of the way and only have it pulled out when you are using it.
