CROSS TRAINING PROGRAM

The Cross Training program consists of alternating segments of forward and backward pedaling movements that focus on working the thigh and calf muscle groups. Ask staff personnel about the benefits of this type of workout.

The program profile is divided into one minute intervals. Prompts appear on the display indicating when you should change the pedaling direction. Similar to the Interval program, changes to the pedal resistance can be made at any time by pressing the Resistance ▲▼ keys.

To use the Cross Training program, follow the steps found in Quick Steps to Working Out on page 39. When the PROGRAM prompt appears, choose XTR.

Once you set the resistance level for a forward or backward pedaling interval, the software repeats the settings throughout the remaining intervals. You can change the settings of the current interval by simply pressing the or key. The software remembers the new settings and applies it to the appropriate forward or backward interval for the remainder of the program.

WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM

The Precor Weight Loss program 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 program, but the intervals are set at four minutes. If you wear the chest strap, try to keep the rest interval’s target heart rate at 55% of (220 minus your age), while the work interval should be set to 70% of (220 minus your age). As in the Interval program, once you set the resistance levels for the first rest and work interval, the EFX automati- cally repeats the interval settings throughout the program.

To use the Weight Loss program, follow the steps found in Quick Steps to Working Out on page 39. When the PROGRAM prompt appears, choose the WTLS.

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