CROSS TRAINING COURSE
The Cross Training course consists of alternating segments of forward and backward
pedaling movements that focus on working the thigh and calf muscle groups. Ask staff
personnel about the benefits of this type of workout.
The course profile is divided into one minute intervals. Prompts appear on the display
indicating when you should change the pedaling direction. Similar to the Interval
course, changes to the pedal resistance can be made at any time by pressing the
Resistance ▲▼ keys.
To use the Cross Training course, follow the steps found in
Quick Steps to Working
Out
on page 37. When the COURSE prompt appears, choose XTR.
Once you set the resistance level for a forward or backward pedaling interval, the
software repeats the settings throughout the remaining intervals. You can change
the settings of the current interval by simply pressing the ▼ or ▲ key. The software
remembers the new settings and applies it to the appropriate forward or backward
interval for the remainder of the course.
WEIGHT LOSS COURSE
The Precor Weight Loss course incorporates the latest findings on fat-burning
and weight loss through exercise. It is based on research at the world-renowned
Cooper Institute for Aerobics Research and it is designed to help you burn the
most fat during a 28-minute workout, while minimizing the risk of discomfort and
injury. The Weight Loss program is similar to the Interval course, but the intervals
are set at four minutes. If you wear the POLAR
®
chest strap, try to keep the rest
interval’s target heart rate at 55% of (220 minus your age), while the work interval
should be set to 70% of (220 minus your age). As in the Interval course, once you
set the resistance levels for the first rest and work interval, the EFX automati-
cally repeats the interval settings throughout the course.
To use the Weight Loss program, follow the steps found in
Quick Steps to Working
Out
on page 37. When the COURSE prompt appears, choose the WTLS.
Note: When you complete the 28-minute time limit set for the course, the
automatic cool-down period begins.
