Versaclimber

How to do the versaclimber, the muscles it works, and the mistakes to avoid. Pulled straight from the Kovo app's exercise library.

Use the VersaClimber to climb continuously, driving with both arms and legs. Maintain a steady pace for cardio or interval sprints as programmed.

1Drive through your hips and squeeze your glutes at the top; you should feel them powering the movement
2Move in a smooth, rhythmic manner; you should feel your legs and core working to keep you balanced
3Move deliberately and with control rather than relying on speed or momentum

Don't feel pain or strain in unrelated areas; adjust your load or range if you do
Don't hunch your shoulders or slouch; avoid sloppy, uncontrolled steps
Don't use momentum or rush through the reps, quality trumps quantity

The versaclimber works the quads, glutes, hamstrings, upper abs, and calves.

Kovo programs the versaclimber for you and tracks it every session.

We build your whole program, drop the right lifts into each workout, and adjust your weights as you get stronger. Free on iOS and Android.
