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 workout 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
M9.35i Fitness Test.
If your level of exertion becomes too great, reduce your pace
or change the incline using the arrow keys to override each
upcoming column in the program profile. If you use the arrow
keys, the program profile changes accordingly. When you
complete a program that contains a time limit or distance
limit, an automatic 5-minute cool-down period begins.
Program Tips
Work out indefinitely in a program. At the ENTER TIME
prompt, use the arrow keys to select NO LIMIT or, on the
M9.35i, press the number zero. While you exercise, TIME
indicates the amount of time you have been exercising. If
you choose to exercise without a time limit, the automatic
5-minute cool-down period is eliminated. You will need to
incorporate a cool-down period by accessing the Manual
Program.
Note: Programs that bypass the ENTER TIME prompt
have a fixed time limit or goal.
If a workout time or goal exists, the TIME display indicates
the amount of time remaining in your workout session.
A blinking column tracks the progress that you make
during a program.
When you select a user ID and a preset program such as
Easy Walk or 5K, incline variations in the final column of
the program are recorded.
The interval programs record both incline and speed
variations which appear the next time you choose the
same interval program and user ID.
On the M9.35i, the distance-based programs record and
show your personal best record when you select a user ID
and complete the program.
