Begin stepping at a comfortable pace, taking either full or short steps, and keeping the back
straight. Hold the handrails or the optional bullhorns for stability and balance only. It should be
noted that using the handrails for support can offload weight and cause the Life Fitness stairclimber
console to give inaccurate readings of calories burned.

ESISTANCE
The Life Fitness stairclimber features speed-dependent braking resistance. During a workout, the
computer monitors the user's step rate and maintains it at the rate that corresponds to the selected
intensity level. If the user's speed exceeds the corresponding rate, the computer increases the
resistance to lower the user's speed. If the user's step rate is slower, the computer decreases the
resistance to enable the user to increase speed.
