Endurance capacity involves a lot more than increasing the capacity of
the heart to pump blood and deliver oxygen to the tissues.
Active muscles also adapt by increasing mitochondria (cell energy centers), increasing fuels and enzymes that improve metabolism, clearing waste and building power output. People usually build endurance and aerobic capacity by doing large muscle lower body exercises, such as jogging, walking, cycling, treadmill exercise or elliptical training. While lower body exercise is great for building oxygen transport capacity and lower body muscle adaptation, it does little to develop endurance fitness in upper body muscles. Most people who are active on the job need upper body fitness, yet few people do any endurance exercise with their arms. Add the upper body ergometer to move your exercise program to the next level.
