CROSS TRAINING PROGRAM
The Cross Training program 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 program profile is divided into one minute intervals. Prompts appear on the
display indicating when you should change the pedaling direction. Similar to the
Interval program, changes to the pedal resistance can be made at any time by pressing
the Resistance ▲▼ keys.
To use the Cross Training program, follow the steps found in
Quick Steps to Working
Out
on page 39. When the PROGRAM 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 program.
WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM
The Precor Weight Loss program 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 program, but the
intervals are set at four minutes. If you wear the 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 program, once
you set the resistance levels for the first rest and work interval, the EFX automati-
cally repeats the interval settings throughout the program.
To use the Weight Loss program, follow the steps found in
Quick Steps to Working
Out
on page 39. When the PROGRAM prompt appears, choose the WTLS.
Note: When you complete the 28-minute time limit set for the program, the
automatic cool-down period begins.
