The Tower 200 by Body by Jake is an in-home fitness training system that attaches to a door so it doesn't take up any valuable floor space. The resistance for exercises is provided by several multi-tension power cords. You can do dozens of exercises with the Tower 200, including ones that target your arm muscles.
The Tower 200
The Tower 200 attaches to the top and bottom of an interior door in your home. Six resistance bands run vertically along the door -- three on each side. Each group of three bands has a 25-lb. band, a 35-lb. band and a 40-lb. band, for 100 lbs. of resistance on each side. Attach handles to the top or bottom of the resistance bands using the included weight clips. Hook a single band, two bands or all three bands to one handle for different resistance levels.
Triceps Exercises
The triceps muscles are on the back of your upper arm. You can do several triceps exercises with the Tower 200. Attach the handles to the top of the door and do triceps press-downs. Face the door, lock your upper arm next to your sides and press the weight down, fully extending your arms. Attach the handles to the lower part of the door and do triceps extensions. Hold your arms overhead with your elbows pointing up and your hands behind your neck. Press the weight up, straightening your arms overhead.
Biceps Exercises
The biceps muscles are on the front of your upper arms. Attach the Tower 200 handles to the bottom part of the door and do biceps curls. Hold your upper arms next to your sides and curl the weight up until your hands are in front of your shoulders. Attach the handles to the top of the door and do horizontal biceps curls. Hold your arms out in front of you so they are parallel to the ground. Curl the weight by bending your elbows until your hands are in front of your shoulders.
Considerations
The Tower 200 tension bands offer variable resistance -- the resistance increases the more you stretch the band. You can adjust the tension of an exercise by standing closer or farther from the door. For example, during the horizontal biceps curl, you face the door to do the exercise. Extend your arms directly in front of you and then step away from the door until the bands tighten. If the tension is too much, step closer to the door.
