What is Arm Cycling?

Arm cycling is a form of exercise where you use your arms and upper body to pedal on a stationary machine, similar to a bicycle. Its an exercise class to music.  It’s a great way to get a cardiovascular workout and strengthen your upper body, especially for those who may have leg injuries or other limitations.
