Heart Rate Program Tips

The Basic HRC Program enhances your overall cardiovascular fitness level to help you achieve your weight loss and fitness goals. Read through the following tips before selecting a program. These tips provide general information regarding how the program functions. For more information and exercise suggestions, refer to the Precor web site at www.precor.com.

•Each program provides a 3-minute warm-up period. During this time, you may change the CrossRamp or resistance, but you cannot adjust the time or change to a distance or calorie goal. At the end of the warm-up period, the program automatically controls the resistance. Pressing the RESISTANCE arrow keys has no affect.

Note: When your target heart rate is achieved or the

3-minute period elapses, the warm-up period ends and the program begins.

•The program sets the target heart rate as a percentage of 220 minus your age. Changing the target heart rate your stride rate or CrossRamp affects the unit’s ability to maintain your target heart rate in the preferred zone. It takes time for the EFX to readjust the resistance so that your heart rate remains on target. Check the SmartRate and the HEART RATE displays to see if you are maintaining your preferred zone and to determine your actual heart rate. For information about understanding your target heart rate, refer to Heart Rate Features.

•Changes to the CrossRamp are reflected in the program’s profile. Automatic resistance changes appear in the RESISTANCE display.

•To change your target heart rate, refer to Adjusting Your Target Heart Rate.

•To view a variety of workout statistics, press the METRICS key. Refer to Changing Your Workout Display Options.

•To adjust the time, press TIME +/– and use the navigational arrow keys or number keypad followed by OK to change the workout time after the warm-up period elapses.

•To change to a distance- or calorie-based goal, press the GOAL key after the warm-up period elapses. Refer to Adjusting Program Goals.

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

•A cool-down period is incorporated into the program.
