Selecting a Program
1. While the Precor banner scrolls, press a PROGRAMS key and
then, press OK.
2. A workout time blinks in the center display. Use the navigational
arrow keys or the number keys to adjust the minutes (1 - 60) and
then press OK.
Note:
The workout time prompt is skipped if you press the
WEIGHT LOSS key.
You may be able to exercise indefinitely in any program (except
Weight Loss). Once you select a program, a workout time blinks in
the center display. Press the number 0 and then press OK. If you
choose this option, the automatic cool-down period is eliminated.
You will need to incorporate a cool-down period by accessing the
Manual Program.
Note:
The club can set limits for workout, pause, and cool-down
times. So, selecting an unlimited workout time may not be allowed.
Check with your club or facility manager.
3. Enter your weight (1 - 999) and then your age (1 - 99).
Note:
To change a value (program, workout time, weight, or age)
that you have already entered, continue pedaling and press PAUSE/
RESET to return to the Precor banner. Select a program and
reenter the appropriate values.
4. Maintain a consistent pedaling speed while exercising. Find a
comfortable pedaling speed between 20 and 150 revolutions per
minute.
5. Use the RESISTANCE arrow keys to change the resistance. The
program profile changes accordingly.
Changing Programs in Mid-session
You can change programs in the middle of a session by selecting a
new program from the PROGRAMS key menu and pressing OK. All
accumulated workout statistics are transferred to the new program as
you continue exercising.
Note: You cannot select a different program if you are in the cool-
down period or if you stop pedaling and the cycle begins its 30-
second shutdown. Refer to Pausing During a Workout or the Cool-
Down Period.
Certain programs, such as Basic HRC and Weight Loss, are not
available for mid-session transfers due to set goals and program
preferences. If this occurs, a message scrolls across the center
display.
