Diagram 9: EFX5.23 program label
This section describes the programs printed on the display
label. The programs on the EFX5.23 and EFX5.33 are
identical except for the Gluteal and Hill Climb programs,
which provide a preprogrammed incline (Gluteal, EFX5.23)
and preprogrammed resistance (Hill Climb, EFX5.33).
Note: Some units display XCTR instead of XTR for the
Crosstraining Program. Custom courses only appear if you
select a user ID.
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 workout choices on the EFX are preprogrammed
with recommendations for incline levels or resistance,
backward or forward motion, and alternating rest or work
intervals. You always have the option to override the
suggested levels with the exception of the Fitness Test
(FITN) and the Heart Rate Control (HRC) Program.
If your level of exertion becomes too great, reduce your stride
rate or use the arrow keys to override each upcoming column
in the program profile. If you use the arrow keys, the profile
changes accordingly. When you complete a program that
contains a time goal or distance limit, an automatic 5-minute
cool-down period begins.
