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 routines and advice from the experts.

The Manual Program on the C952i treadmill lets you select your pace and incline levels. The Interval Program is preprogrammed with recommendations for incline levels, pace, and alternating rest or work intervals. You always have the option to override the suggested levels with the exception of the Fitness Test.

If your level of exertion becomes too great, reduce your pace or use the arrow keys to override each upcoming segment in the program profile. If you use the arrow keys, the program profile changes accordingly. When you complete a program that contains a time limit, an automatic cool-down period begins.
