METS targets a rate of effort equal to a certain number of Mets. AMet is a unit of measurement used

to express the metabolic rate of work (oxygen consumption per unit of body weight) required to per-

form a task. One Met is approximately equal to a person’s metabolism when seated and relaxed.

AROUND THE WORLD is an interval-training workout in which the hills resemble scenes of

various geographical areas.

KILIMANJARO is a Hill workout in which the intensity levels gradually incline toward one ulti-

mate peak and then gradually decline.

INTERVALis a Hill workout in which intensity levels rise and fall. The higher levels gradually

incline toward a peak and then gradually decline.

CASCADES is a two-peak workout in which intensity levels gradually incline and decline.

SPEED TRAINING is a Hill workout in which the intensity level alternates between high and low

levels very quickly to simulate a typical speed training workout.

FOOT HILLS is a rolling hill workout with low intensity levels.

Different stairclimber workouts require different setup steps. See the chart on the following

setting up any individual workout. This section provides details on the steps themselves.

Note: A new Life Fitness stairclimber may emit a slight smell during the first few hours of operation

as the load resistor heats up for the first time. If the smell persists, contact customer service.
