The light next to “Program” now flashes. Press the 

Manual

 program key.

3.

 

Start climbing! If the speed is too fast or slow, press the up or down arrow key to adjust it
until you’re comfortable.

While you’re climbing, the console shows your progress and statistics about your workout. For
details about these displays, see the section “The Workout Display,” later in this chapter.

You can raise or lower your climbing speed at any time by pressing the up and down arrows. Pick
a speed that gives you a comfortable workout without causing pain. If you feel like you’re straining
to keep up, decrease the level until you can match it easily.

You can also change from manual mode to one of the programmed workouts during your
workout. Just press the key for the program you want, then follow the instructions later in
this chapter.

If you need to pause during a workout, the climber will remember your workout information. To
reset the climber so you can start a new workout, press 

Clear

 twice.

When you finish, you see a workout summary giving the total distance you climbed, calories
burned, and more. See “The Workout Display,” later in this chapter, for a description.

Using the Preset Programs

Personal Climber includes three basic workout profiles you can choose from. These profiles vary
the climber speed at set intervals to maximize either fat burning, strength training, or endurance
building.

The graphs on the program keys show a “profile” of each workout. The higher bars indicate faster
climbing. Each program begins with a warm-up and ends with a cool-down period; as you can see,
the middle sections vary according to the type of workout.

1.

 

Get on the Personal Climber.

If your Personal Climber is set for “step and go” operation, press one of the program
keys 

before

 you get on Personal Climber, set the length and weight as described, then

start climbing.

2.

 

The display will show the length of your last workout in the “Speed” field, and the light
next to “Time” at the right of the console will flash. You can change the workout length
using the up and down arrow keys. Press 

Enter

.

 

When you change the length of a program, Personal Climber intelligently adjust the
program’s profile to match your setting. For the fat burning and strength programs, it adds
or removes repetitions of the center section; for the endurance program, it increases or
decreases the length of the center section. The warm-up and cool-down periods stay the
same. If you set the workout length to five minutes, you’ll do just the warm-up and cool-
down.
