Hi there, I'm already doing some outdoor biking which allows my lower body to be muscled up. Now I'm searching for pleasant sports to muscle my upper body, with the following conditions: it should be a sport that can be done alone at anytime of the day (versus group or duo sports like tennis, soccer, etc) or indoor (video game that is very sporty). some examples I have in mind are climbing (but that is not necessarily easy to do anywhere unlike biking for the lower body). (swimming is ruled out as it's a n indoor sport) upper body=arms, abs, chest Many thanks Ben |

I think the outdoor qualifier will get you very few responses for upper body building. Disc Golf is a great one, although not as much muscle building as you might like. www.pdga.com There is probably a course near you. |

I think cycling is good for the upper body, because you are supporting much of your weight. |

Learn to walk on your hands. It is not really difficult, and you can do it any time and place - and when you get good at it, you can wow people at the beach or win bets that you can do it for one minute. However, I wouldn't suggest taking bets of beers in a pub. Despite the last, this is a serious suggestion. |

Thanks a ton to all suggestions so far. I guess walking on hands is quite original and do-it-yourself-anytime but the issue is that you certainly can't do it without being widely observed! (which can be turned into an advantage in some circumstances as said!). :)) Now, "outdoor" is a subcategory of fun... that's why I said "outdoor" or if indoor it must be fun to do and not the usual look at the wall type of indoor gymn stuff. so, outdoor sport/game or indoor (video) game |

I recently played a new game I saw displayed at Best Buy... It's a guitar game that looked and sounded real cheesy at first, but i loved it after trying. Basically, you are holding a guitar (a controller guitar that has 4 buttons instead of strings and a strip at the head where you strum) and the point is to play the guitar lines to songs by pressing the right button and strumming at the right time. The screen tells you when/what to play and the game makes the notes as if you had played them for real (even the bad notes you play). I highly recommend it, it's loads of fun. And after 4 songs I was feeling as if I had worked out a bit **holding guitar up, strumming, pressing buttons, jamming. Guitar Hero, Guitar Hero 2 |

Swingball, tennis and golf are great for your upper body and the mucles in arms. |
