Heart Rate Program Tips
Read through the following tips before selecting a program.
These tips provide general information regarding how the
programs function. For more information and exercise
suggestions, refer to the Precor web site at
www.precor.com.
• To use the heart rate programs, you must enter your age
and wear a chest strap or grasp the touch-sensitive grips
on the 9.33 so your heart rate can be monitored
throughout the session.
• Each program provides a 3-minute warm-up period.
During this time you may change the incline or speed.
• When your target heart rate or heart rate zone is achieved
or the 3-minute period elapses, the warm-up period ends
and the program begins.
• To change to a different program, select a PROGRAMS
key and press OK.
• Cool down periods are incorporated into each program.
Table 3. Heart Rate Programs
Program Description
Basic HR Start with the Basic HR Program if this is the first
time you have used a heart rate program or you are
returning to an exercise fitness routine. The Basic HR
Program adjusts the incline to maintain your heart
rate within two beats per minute of the target heart
rate while you exercise. If your physician recommends
a different target heart rate than the one that appears
on the display, you can adjust your target heart rate
by using the navigational arrow keys once you
complete the warm-up period.
Weight
Loss HR
Improve fat-burning results and increase endurance
every time you exercise. This program helps you
achieve weight loss and increase your aerobic
capacity. The program maintains your heart rate
between the weight loss and cardiovascular zones:
55% - 75% of your maximum aerobic heart rate.
Refer to Heart Rate Features.
During the program, you cannot adjust your target
heart rate. The program monitors your heart rate and
automatically adjusts the incline or speed throughout
five stages: warm-up, weight loss, cardiovascular,
weight loss, and cool down. Forty percent of the
workout time is spent in each weight loss zone while
the other 20 percent is maintained in the
cardiovascular zone.
