Programs
This section describes the programs available on the
treadmill. Use this section as a reference tool to better
understand each program’s purpose. For more information,
refer to Selecting a Program.
The program descriptions are presented in menu selection
order. To see a list of programs, refer to Keypad and
Table 2.
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 exercise choices on the treadmill are pre-
programmed with recommendations for incline levels,
pace, and alternating intervals. You always have the option
to override the suggested levels with the exception of the
heart rate control programs on the 9.27 treadmill.
Program Tips
Begin at the banner. Refer to Workout Options.
A blinking column indicates your position as you
progress through a program.
To use the SmartRate feature, you need to specify your
age and wear a chest strap (9.27 only) or hold on to the
touch-sensitive handrail grips. Refer to Using
SmartRate.
To exercise indefinitely in any program, an unlimited
exercise time setting may be an available option. Refer
to Selecting a Program.
If your level of exertion becomes too great, reduce your
pace or change the incline using the SPEED or
INCLINE arrow keys to override each upcoming
column in the program profile.
To pause during a program, press the red STOP key.
Refer to Pausing During a Workout or the Cool-Down
Period.
When you complete a program that contains a time
limit or specified distance, the automatic cool-down
period begins. Refer to Cooling Down After a Workout.
Cumulative workout statistics appear when you end
your exercise session. Refer to Ending a Workout.
