CAUTION: Before beginning any fitness program, you should have a complete physical examination by your physician.

Pausing Your Workout

Since the climber has an automatic auto-pause feature, you can pause during your workout to answer the telephone or take a short rest. To pause your workout, simply stop stepping on the climber. Five minutes after you stop exercising the electronics unique screen-saver feature turns off the display and saves your position. When you resume your workout and step on to the climber, the displays continue from the point you left off and provide an accurate readout of your total workout time.

Note: When you pause, the internal clock causes the TIME display to continue counting. If you return to your workout before 5 minutes elapse, the TIME display reverts back to your actual workout time.

Ending a Workout

To end your workout, simply stop stepping. You can also press the START/ STOP key. In either case, the displays on the console freeze, allowing you to review your workout statistics.

You can then do one of two things: either press RESET to return the displays to zero or let them stand, which lets you track total exercise time and steps over several exercise sessions. The electronics count TIME, TOTAL STEPS, and TOTAL CALories cumulatively, so if you do not press RESET at the end of your workout, the electronic console will continue counting from the point you left off.

With the console’s unique screen-saver feature, you do not have to worry about turning OFF the console when you finish your workout. Five minutes after you stop exercising the screen-saver turns OFF the display.

How to Use the 718e Climber

This section explains how to work out on the climber safely and effectively. When using the climber, follow these general guidelines:

•At the beginning of a workout, warm-up by taking several minutes to bring your heart rate into your training zone (see Diagram 24 on page 24).

•After your workout, walk slowly for several minutes to cool down your body and lower your pulse rate.

•Protect your knees by keeping them directly over your toes. Avoid taking steps that are too big or bending your knees beyond 90 degrees.

•Keep your feet on the black footpads—moving your feet too far forward might cause you to bump the cylinders with your knees.

•Keep your shoulders and back relaxed. Hold your head up—looking at your feet or the floor strains your neck and back muscles. Avoid bouncing or swinging your hips from side to side.

•Set the resistance at a low level initially until your muscles warm up and your heart rate reaches its target zone. You can then increase the level to the desired setting for working out.

•Gently stretch your lower body and back after a workout to help prevent stiffness or soreness.

1.Press RESET on the electronic console and hold for 3 seconds. Release the key at the “beep” sound. Press MODE until the TIME function is highlighted and the TIME display appears.
