Working The Upper Body With Outdoor Exercise
Outdoor sports and leisure activities are getting more popular all the time. In the summer months it’s not very enjoyable to be stuck indoors in a stuffy gym or sports hall, when you could be outside in the fresh air. The draw back of sports done outdoors though is that most of them are biased towards working the lower body.Short of doing just press ups and pull ups on a tree, its not always easy to think of activities that work the upper body well, here are some that do?
Kayaking. Water sports such as kayaking and canoeing are very good at exercising the muscles of the back, shoulders and arms. As this is where all the propulsion and stabilising comes from, the shoulders especially get a fantastic workout. The most attractive part of kayaking though has to be the ability to stop paddling and just bob about for a bit when you get fatigued. A word of warning however, there is a distinct possibility you'll get wet, especially if you're not very good at the sport.
Climbing. Its not easy to find sports that put pressure on every single muscle in the body, but rock climbing is one of them. That said, your legs are not actually worked as much as you might think as a lot of the grip comes from special sticky slim line shoes that look like cycling shoes. The arms are in fact called upon a lot more in most types of climbing and get a real workout. Simply keeping yourself vertical on a climbing wall can be an effort and the muscles of the lower arm and shoulders will be toned in no time.
Hand Biking. Cycling is one of those sports that is enjoyed by millions all over the world. However, it’s not so great for toning up the arms. Hand bikes however such as Pinarello Dogma ones are geared in such a way that you can pick up some great speed just by turning your arms. They also make a great mode of transport for people who do not have the use of their legs.
