TYPICAL CALORIE BURN RATES<br />
Take a moment to review the following activity comparisons. Note the difference in calorie<br />
expenditures and speeds for various exercises. Full body climbing ranks highest in caloric<br />
expenditure over all other activities even though speed is the slowest. <strong>User</strong>s often try to<br />
maintain the speed that they are used to in other activities and over exert themselves due to<br />
the total body, arm and leg movement involved in climbing at 75 degree angle. Therefore, it<br />
is recommended that first time users of the <strong>VersaClimber</strong> begin with the feet level in the<br />
stepping positions at a slow comfortable pace and a 4-6 inch step height.<br />
