Precor 9.33, 9.31 Heart Rate Program Tips, Rate within two beats per minute of the target heart

Heart Rate Program Tips

Read through the following tips before selecting a program. These tips provide general information regarding how the programs function. For more information and exercise suggestions, refer to the Precor web site at www.precor.com.

•To use the heart rate programs, you must enter your age and wear a chest strap or grasp the touch-sensitive grips on the 9.33 so your heart rate can be monitored throughout the session.

•Each program provides a 3-minute warm-up period. During this time you may change the incline or speed.

•When your target heart rate or heart rate zone is achieved or the 3-minute period elapses, the warm-up period ends and the program begins.

•To change to a different program, select a PROGRAMS key and press OK.

•Cool down periods are incorporated into each program.

Table 3. Heart Rate Programs

Program	Description
Basic HR	Start with the Basic HR Program if this is the first
	time you have used a heart rate program or you are
	returning to an exercise fitness routine. The Basic HR
	Program adjusts the incline to maintain your heart
	rate within two beats per minute of the target heart
	rate while you exercise. If your physician recommends
	a different target heart rate than the one that appears
	on the display, you can adjust your target heart rate
	by using the navigational arrow keys once you
	complete the warm-up period.
Weight	Improve fat-burning results and increase endurance
Loss HR	every time you exercise. This program helps you
	achieve weight loss and increase your aerobic
	capacity. The program maintains your heart rate
	between the weight loss and cardiovascular zones:
	55% - 75% of your maximum aerobic heart rate.
	Refer to Heart Rate Features.
	During the program, you cannot adjust your target
	heart rate. The program monitors your heart rate and
	automatically adjusts the incline or speed throughout
	five stages: warm-up, weight loss, cardiovascular,
	weight loss, and cool down. Forty percent of the
	workout time is spent in each weight loss zone while
	the other 20 percent is maintained in the
	cardiovascular zone.
