    VersaClimber. These guidelines are not specific individ- ual exercise prescriptions, but rather, general VersaClimber user information. Most functions and their operation are applicable to both CL-108H and CL-108HP Model VersaClimbers. Throughout this manual, references and instructions have been included for the CL-108HP VersaClimber model with Heart Rate Control.
  • Page 7 Consult your physician before beginning this or any other exercise program. This is especially important for individuals over the age of 30 and those that have known health problems. HEART RATE INC., IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE SUSTAINED BY OR THROUGH THE USE OF THE VERSACLIMBER.

  • Page 8: Exercise Tips

    EXERCISE TIPS 1. Consult your physician before starting this or any other exercise program especially if health problems are known. 2. While exercising, the foot pedals and hand grips are moving up and down. DO NOT ALLOW YOUNG CHILDREN OR ANYONE TO BE WITHIN 3 FEET OF ANY PART OF THE MACHINE WHILE IT IS IN USE.

  • Page 9: Exercise Guidelines

    CONTROL mode of the CL-108HP VersaClimber will guide you through a workout which slowly increases in intensity until you reach and maintain a specific heart rate. A 5 minute cool down period is recommended in all modes, gradually decreasing your climb rate and/or lowering the arms by grasping the hand rails.
  • Page 10 –An advanced athlete may want to begin at an intensity that is approximately equal to a run. The CL-108H VersaClimber model does not have internal heart rate monitoring system like the CL-108HP models. However, heart rate may be taken manually at any time before, during and after your workouts by referring to the next section.
  • Page 11 DURATION The duration of the workout depends on your level of conditioning and the intensity of the workout. Normally 15 to 30 minutes continuous climbing or stepping is average, which includes 5 - 10 minutes of warm up and 5 - 10 minutes of cool down. These periods should be at a comfortable easy pace.

  • Page 30: Strength Exercises

    STRENGTH EXERCISE DURING AEROBIC CONDITIONING The following are strength exercises that can be performed during your aerobic work- out. To strengthen specific muscles, you can step or climb in a variety of positions to concentrate the work on those specific areas. Guidelines for lower body strength work- outs are outlined in the section “Working The Upper and Lower Body Separately”, next page.
  • Page 31 For the advanced athlete, a “quad burn” can be achieved by squatting down (while holding the stationary handgrips) so that the knees are at approximately a 90 degree angle. With the knees positioned on either side of the Versaclimber, start with short steps and gradually increase to the maximum comfortable stroke.
  • Page 32 The arms and shoulders can be exercised by standing on the base plate in front of the Versaclimber and driv- ing the moveable hand grips. Palms can be in the for- ward or reverse grip. Pull down with one arm and resist with the other arm, or push and pull with one arm while resisting with the other arm.
