2. 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 the workout level 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 for a
fixed amount of time. If you stop for longer than this “time-out interval,” the ClimbMax resets
itself, and you’ll have to start a new workout. (See Chapter 2 for information on setting the time-
out interval.)
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
ClimbMax includes three preset workout profiles you can choose from. (If you have the heart rate
monitor option, there are four. The heart rate program is described in Chapter 4). 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 ClimbMax.
If the ClimbMax is set for “step and go” operation, skip steps 2 and 3—just get on
ClimbMax and press a program key. The program will use the default length and a
weight setting of 150 pounds. If you want to set the length and/or your correct weight,
press the program key before you get on ClimbMax, set the length and weight as
described, then start climbing.
2. The display will show the default workout length 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, up to the maximum set for this ClimbMax. Press Enter.
