In the upper body exerciser mode, the operator is in a normal push-up position with the hands on the pedals of the pedal mechanism. Exercising is accomplished by hand pedaling the pedal mechanism while supporting the body weight on the feet and hands. The machine has an adjustment to help support the operator\s chest with a chest pad.
