First time users: You might have a tendency to
climb too fast and to take too long a step. Until
users become thoroughly familiar with the Versa
Climber, it is important to take short, slow steps.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION
The VersaClimber, introduced in 1981, was the
first climbing exercise machine on the market;
and to this day remains the leader in total body
conditioning. This full body climbing exercise machine
provides an alternating arm and leg action
against gravity with variable force, stroke length
and speed. All the major muscles of the arms,
chest, shoulders, back, hips, buttocks and legs
are used while climbing. The VersaClimber has
been proven worldwide and is a widely accepted
total body exerciser that is used by health clubs,
sports medicine facilities, military, fire depart-
ments, corporate gyms and wherever groups of
people gather to exercise.
The machine is oriented at a 75-degree climb
angle. To climb, the person stands in a vertically
erect position with both feet level on pedals while
grasping two handgrips located at about shoulder
height. Step on the higher foot pedal and pull on
the higher handgrip to initiate climbing motion.
When the foot and hand move vertically downward,
the other foot and hand move vertically upward
and then alternate synchronously. A cyclic action
of the arms and legs is performed that simulates
motion of climbing an endless ladder for any
selected step height, time, rate and distance. A
microcomputer monitors and displays climbing per-
formance, heart rate, calories, distance and gives
audible instructions and motivational messages
during the exercise.
First time users of the VersaClimber have a tendency
to climb too fast and to take too long a step. Until
users become thoroughly familiar with the
VersaClimber, it is important to take short, slow
steps. To maintain a shock and trauma free
motion, it is mandatory not to “bottom out” or
impact the pedals at the end of each stroke.
OPTIONAL ARM EXTENDERS
On the standard VC-108 SRM a person up to 6
feet tall has a full arm extension while climbing.
With optional arm extenders a 6 foot 6 inch per-
son gets a full stretch while climbing.
CALORIE BURN RATE
Full body climbing ranks highest in calories
burned even though climbing speed is slower
than other activities. First time users often try to
maintain the speed they use in other activities
and tend to over exert themselves. It is important
to remember that because VersaClimbing is a total
body climb against gravity, it is not necessary to
climb at a high rate of speed demonstrated
as follows.
