SHIPPING INCLUDED The ProSTEP 6000 provides a natural low impact lower body and aerobic workout that eliminates the standard jarring impact on the feet, knees and hips that is experienced when using a treadmill. The overall design is simple to use and requires little or no instructions. A user friendly control panel prompts you through every function. Combined with a mobile, compact foot print and only an 8' ceiling requirement, the ProSTEP 6000 becomes the perfect choice for any Health Club, Medical Rehab Facility or Home. ELECTROMAGNETIC RESISTANCE SYSTEM An electromagnetic resistance system acts as a breaking mechanism to slow down the RPM and thus controls the speed of the machines, which is measured as "Steps per Minute". The weight of the user activates and powers the ProSTEP 6000 thus eliminating the need for an electrical drive motor. The power consumption of the ProSTEP 6000 is equivalent to that of a 60 watt light bulb. UNIQUE "STEP LOCK" SYSTEM The "Step Lock System" feature allows the user to program his workout information while standing on the stairs without the stairs moving. Also the "Step Lock" feature uses a photo optic sensor that senses if the users has shifted to the bottom step and will automatically stop and ask if you wish to proceed. The "Step Lock" feature can also be manually overridden at any time by the user. COMPUTER CONTROL SYSTEM A user friendly control panel allows the user to select a workout target to either; total exercise time, floors climbed or calories burned. At anytime during the workout the user can manually override the machine. Pro STEP 6000 and Stair Climbing Benefits
