The Origin OUB1 Upper Body Trainer offers users a challenging full body workout that can be applied as a standalone cardio feature or as an exciting component in circuits and high-intensity training sessions. The OUB1 draws inspiration from the biomechanics associated with Nordic or cross-country skiing; two incredibly demanding disciplines as anyone who has tried them can confirm. The movement recruits all major muscle groups and similar to rowing; requires smooth technique, and cardiovascular endurance combined with a powerful pull to spin the flywheel. Using a magnetic resistance system, users can adjust the machine to suit the strength of their own stroke. Effort and performance can both be monitored on the LCD console which offers 15 pre-programmed workouts and a built in heart rate receiver. A key space saving feature on the gym floor is the OUB1's ability to be wall mounted or free standing – the free standing option instead coming with wheels for easy transportation. All these
