Choosing a Program

Choosing a program depends on your goals. If you are a beginner or returning to regular exercise, you can start a cardio-conditioning program to slowly return your body to a comfortable level of exercise. If you have been exercising and feel that you have an intermediate or advanced fitness level, you probably have established goals. The Precor web site (www.precor.com) can give you many ideas about fitness workouts and advice from the experts.

Several workout choices on the EFX are preprogrammed with recommendations for incline levels or resistance, backward or forward motion, and alternating rest or work intervals. You always have the option to override the suggested levels with the exception of the Heart Rate Control (HRC) program.

If your level of exertion becomes too great, reduce your stride rate or use the arrow keys to override each upcoming column in the program profile. If you use the arrow keys, the program profile changes accordingly. When you complete a program that contains a time, an automatic 5-minute cool-down period begins.
