STEPPING USER GUIDE
LEARN TO USE THE VERSACLIMBER AS A STEPPING MACHINE
BEFORE USING IT AS A CLIMBING MACHINE.
The hand rails not only provide support while getting on and off the VersaClimber, but also
the option of another exercise modality - Stair stepping.
1.
Hold the stationary hand rails and step on the lower foot pedal.
Then, step on higher foot pedal until feet are level and stop.
2.
Switch on display.
3.
Turn hydraulic control knob toward "step slower."
4.
Hold hand rails and take short, slow 6 inch steps for about ten minutes.
DECREASE STEP RATE AND STEP HEIGHT FOR EASIER EXERCISE.
By holding the hand rails in the front or to the side of the body and stepping with the legs
only, the gluts, hip flexors, quads, hamstrings, calves and shins can achieve a complete
lower body aerobic and strength exercise. A variable stroke length of 1" to 20" is available.
Unlike other stair stepping machines, the foot pedal velcro straps allow the user to perform
leg lifts in the upward motion of the stroke to achieve a more effective and balanced lower
body workout. By shifting the hands from the stationary hand rails to the moving hand grips,
the machine automatically converts from a stepping machine into a total body climbing
machine or back to a stepping machine simply by changing hand position.
