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 treadmill are
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 Heart Rate Control Program.
If your level of exertion becomes too great, reduce you
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
5-minute cool-down period begins.
Table 2 shows the programs that have preset inclines.

Note: The Manual, Interval, and Heart Rate Control
programs prompt you for more information and require
more user interaction throughout the workout.
