To set the incline or resistance level for each interval, take the following steps:
1. When the Rest interval prompt appears, press the Cross Ramp ▲▼ key
to change the incline or Resistance ▼ or ▲ key to change the resistance
level. When the desired setting is displayed, simply continue working out—
you do not need to press Enter.
The EFX returns to the “rest” settings at the beginning of each rest interval
until you readjust it or end your workout.
2. The same procedure applies to specifying the settings for the work interval.
The value that appears in the SEGMENT TIME field indicates the time remain-
ing in the current interval. Each time the EFX changes intervals, it informs you
by displaying a message. When you complete the time limit set for the course,
the automatic cool-down period begins.
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 4 minutes. If you use the POLAR
®
chest strap or the touch-sensitive
electrode strips on the handrail (both separate purchase options), try to keep the
rest interval’s target heart rate at 55% of (220 - your age), while the work interval
should be set to 70% of (220 - your age). As in the Interval course, once you set
the resistance levels for the first rest and work interval, the EFX automatically
repeats the interval settings throughout the course.
Note: For the EFX to detect a heart rate, the user must wear the POLAR
®
chest
strap or hold onto the touch-sensitive electrode strips on the handrail. The
POLAR
®
chest strap and touch-sensitive handrails are optional equipment that
can be purchased from your dealer. Refer to
The Heart Rate Feature
on page 32.
To use the Weight Loss program, follow the steps found in
Quick Steps to Work-
ing Out
on page 29. When the Course prompt appears, choose the appropriate
course number. Refer to the course label on the display console.
Important: During your workout, you can change the incline and resistance, but
doing so will cause the effectiveness of the Weight Loss program to vary.
Note: When you complete the 28-minute time limit set for the course, the auto-
matic cool-down period begins.
