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 Keypad and Table 2.

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 heart rate control programs on the 9.27 treadmill.

Program Tips

Begin at the banner. Refer to Workout Options.

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

To use the SmartRate feature, you need to specify your age and wear a chest strap (9.27 only) or hold on to the touch-sensitive handrail grips. Refer to Using SmartRate.

To exercise indefinitely in any program, 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.

To pause during a program, press the red STOP key. Refer to Pausing During a Workout or the Cool-Down Period.

When you complete a program that contains a time limit or specified distance, the automatic cool-down period begins. Refer to Cooling Down After a Workout.

9.23, 9.27 specifications

The Precor 9.27 and 9.23 are part of the renowned line of commercial fitness equipment designed for home gyms and professional fitness environments. Both machines are ellipticals that focus on enhancing cardiovascular workouts while providing low-impact benefits, making them suitable for users of all fitness levels.

The Precor 9.27 features a patented CrossRamp technology, allowing users to adjust the incline of the elliptical ramp while they move. This feature enhances workout versatility by enabling users to target different muscle groups, such as glutes, quadriceps, and hamstrings. With a range of incline options, the 9.27 offers a customizable workout experience that can accommodate varying fitness goals.

On the other hand, the Precor 9.23, while slightly lower in the advanced features, also provides an incredible workout experience. It features a fixed ramp angle which offers an effective cardiovascular workout with consistent intensity. Both models boast smooth, natural motion, reflecting Precor’s commitment to biomechanics and user comfort.

The console interface on both models includes easy-to-read displays that provide essential workout metrics, such as time, distance, calories burned, and heart rate, which can be monitored via the built-in contact heart rate sensors. For those who prefer wireless tracking, both machines are compatible with heart rate telemetry devices. This integration helps users maintain their desired heart rate zones, ensuring optimal workout results.

Another distinguishing characteristic is the ergonomic design of both machines. The handles are strategically placed to provide users with multiple grip options, allowing for varied workouts that engage different muscle groups while minimizing strain on the joints. The narrower Q-factor on both ellipticals promotes proper positioning of the legs, enhancing comfort and performance.

Durability is another hallmark of both the Precor 9.27 and 9.23, as they are constructed from high-quality materials designed to withstand rigorous use. The sturdy frame supports users of various weights and sizes, making these machines a reliable choice for both personal and commercial settings.

In summary, the Precor 9.27 and 9.23 are exceptional ellipticals that combine advanced technology with user-friendly features.
