PREFACE
The StairMaster®Crossrobics®1650 LE conditioning system is a highly
effective tool for developing and improving lower extremity strength and
aerobic fitness. In order to get the best results, and to keep your machine in
peak operating condition, you should carefully read and follow the guidelines
presented in this manual.
WHAT IS IN THIS MANUAL?
The first part of this manual includes sections on safety, installation, operating
instructions, and preventive maintenance. The second part contains detailed
information on problem troubleshooting and repair procedures. An appendix at
the end of the manual provides additional information for the owner.
WHAT IS THE STAIRMASTER CROSSROBICS 1650 LE
CONDITIONING SYSTEM?
The Crossrobics 1650 LE conditioning system is a non weight-bearing, weight-
loading, exercise system. Regular use produces increased aerobic capacity as
well as stronger muscles and bones. Traditional types of weight-loading
exercise, such as weight lifting, produce stronger muscles and bones but
cannot be performed in the rhythmic, continuous fashion needed to improve
aerobic fitness. Traditional weight-bearing exercise, such as jogging, improves
aerobic fitness, but does little to enhance muscular strength. This type of
exercise also increases a user’s risk of injury by placing high impact forces on
their joints.
The difference between the Crossrobics 1650 LE conditioning system
and other types of exercise is the patented Crossrobics loading system. The
Crossrobics loading system allows the user independent control of both speed
level and resistance. The exercise speed is controlled with the FASTER and
SLOWER keys on the console. The resistance is controlled by selecting the
appropriate number of plates on the weight stack.
The training emphasis of any given workout depends on how the two
variables, speed level and resistance, are combined (see The Crossrobics®
Conditioning Matrix Table - pg. 6). A strength workout consists of lower
exercise speeds and heavier resistance. A power workout combines faster
exercise speeds and heavy resistance. Fast exercise speeds and lighter
resistance improve leg speed. An endurance program using slower speeds
and lighter weights is ideal for the long-duration workouts recommended by
weight-control experts.
