WEIGHT LOSS COURSE

The Precor Weight Loss course incorporates the latest findings on fat-burning and weight loss through exercise. It is based on research at the world-renowned Cooper Institute for Aerobics Research and it is designed to help you burn the most fat during a 28-minute workout, while minimizing the risk of discomfort and injury. The Weight Loss program is similar to the Interval course, but the intervals are set at 4 minutes. If you use the POLAR® chest strap (separate purchase options), try to keep the rest interval’s target heart rate at 55% of (220 - your age), while the work interval should be set to 70% of (220 - your age). As in the Interval course, if you change the CrossRampTM or resistance levels for the first rest and work interval, the EFX automatically repeats the interval settings throughout the course.

Note: For the EFX to detect a heart rate, the user must wear the POLAR® chest strap. The POLAR® chest strap is optional equipment that can be purchased from your dealer.

To use the Weight Loss program, follow the steps found in Quick Steps to Working Out on page 29. When the Course prompt appears, choose WTLS.

Note: The “Workout Time” prompt is bypassed since the Weight Loss course is limited to a 28-minute duration.

The “default” rest interval settings are: CrossRamp = 1

Resistance = 4.

The “default” work interval settings are: CrossRamp = 14

Resistance = 4.

Each time the EFX changes intervals, it informs you by displaying a message. When you complete the time limit set for the course, the automatic cool-down period begins.

Important: During your workout, you can change the ramp incline and resistance, but doing so will cause the effectiveness of the Weight Loss program to vary.

Note: When you complete the 28-minute time limit set for the course, the automatic cool-down period begins.
