Versa Climber

How to do it

  1. Stand on the four independent pedals of the climbing machine and grip the moving handles at chest height.
  2. Push one foot down while pulling the opposite handle down, driving the movement through the quadriceps and shoulders in a cross pattern.
  3. Brace the core to keep the torso stable as the arms and legs move in opposite diagonals.
  4. Extend the reaching arm and leg fully on each stride without letting the hips twist side to side.
  5. Hold a tall posture over the pedals rather than hanging body weight on the handles for support.
  6. Hold a steady climbing cadence for the working duration, breathing in rhythm with the stride.
