Programs

This section describes the programs available on the treadmill. Use this section as a reference tool to better understand each program’s purpose. For more information, refer to Selecting a Program.

The program descriptions are presented in menu selection order. To see a list of programs, refer to PROGRAMS Keypad and Table 3.

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 exercise choices on the treadmill are pre- programmed with recommendations for incline levels, pace, and alternating intervals. You always have the option to override the suggested levels with the exception of the Fitness Test.

Program Tips

•Begin at the Precor banner. Refer to Workout Options.

•A blinking column indicates your position as you progress through a program.

•Prior to choosing a program, you may press the OPTIONS key to access units of measure and safety code settings. Refer to Setting Display Preferences Before Exercising.

•To use the SmartRate feature, you need to specify your age and wear a chest strap or hold on to the touch- sensitive handrail grips. Refer to Using SmartRate.

•To exercise indefinitely in any program (except preset distance or calorie goal programs and the Fitness Test), an unlimited exercise time setting may be an available option. Refer to Selecting a Program.

•If your level of exertion becomes too great, reduce your pace or change the incline using the SPEED or INCLINE arrow keys to override each upcoming column in the program profile.
