4.5 USING THE LIFE FITNESS STAIRCLIMBER
STAIRCLIMBER MOTION
The Life Fitness stairclimber permits a maximum stepping height of 13.5 inches, or 34.3
centimeters. The unit features independent stepping action, which means that the pedals move
independently of each other. Benefits of this feature include:
• Pull-push hip and knee action, which simulates actual stair climbing
• Development of greater muscular strength and endurance
• Optimal muscular development for the right leg and left leg individually
• Better cardiovascular exercise
POSTURE DURING WORKOUTS
Begin stepping at a comfortable pace, taking either full or short steps, and keeping the back
straight. Hold the handrails or the bullhorns for stability and balance only. It should be noted that
using the handrails for support can offload weight and cause the Life Fitness stairclimber console
to give inaccurate readings of calories burned.
BRAKING RESISTANCE
The Life Fitness stairclimber features speed-dependent braking resistance. During a workout, the
computer monitors the user's step rate and maintains it at the rate that corresponds to the selected
intensity level. If the user's speed exceeds the corresponding rate, the computer increases the
resistance to lower the user's speed. If the user's step rate is slower, the computer decreases the
resistance to enable the user to increase speed.
