CHAPTER 3 - LET’S CLIMB
So far, we’ve discussed what you need to do to get the Personal Climber ready to use. This chapter
describes how to use it: what each member of your family can do to get the most out of his or her
Personal Climber workouts.
Overview
This is how you work out on Personal Climber:
1.
Get on.
2.
Set how long you want to work out.
3.
Set your weight.
4.
Select manual mode, a preset program, or one of the advanced workouts.
5.
If you want, adjust the climbing speed.
6.
Start climbing!
During your workout, watch your progress on the console; you can change your climbing speed at
any time. When you’re done, Personal Climber shows the total statistics for your workout.
This chapter tells you more about manual mode, the preset programs, “step and go” operation, and
the Personal Climber workout display. Advanced workout options are described in Chapter 4; the
heart rate control program is covered in Chapter 5. The heart rate control program is available only
if you have the optional heart rate monitor.
