How tough is it to use?
Like all full-body exercises, the Versaclimber can be tough to use, but the key is to build up. For first-time climbers, we recommend a 15 to 20 minute climb – which includes a five-minute warm up and a three to five minute cool down.
Once you’ve got the hang of it, you can take your workouts up to 60-minute sessions. Always keep an eye on your heart rate and perceived exertion, to make sure you are at the right level – no matter how many times you have used the machine.
How do i get started?
If you’re at a gym, ask a professional to help you – this way you can find the workout level and duration that is right for you and your goals.
For home gyms, always read the manual and follow the below steps:
1. Set the handles to the correct position for your height by standing on the pedals and moving the handgrips so that they are just at shoulder height. Then tighten the straps on the foot pedals around your feet.
2. Select your exercise mode by either adjusting the tension using the number pad, or, for a bit of competition, select a virtual opponent or virtual landmark mode. If you’re unsure what exercise you would like to do, push the QUICK START button and follow the instructions to set the time, rate or duration.
3. Now begin climbing! Stretch your right arm and left leg up, then repeat on the opposite side and continue like this, in an alternating motion. To maintain shock and trauma free training, do not ‘bottom out’ – or hit the bottom of the machine with the foot pedals – at the end of each stroke.
How can i track my training?
The Versaclimber monitor screen provides information on your exercise such as the duration of your session, your climbing rate (Ft/min) and the distance you have travelled. Using this information, you will be able to monitor your progress by judging the distance you have travelled over a certain amount of time.
