Heart Rate Program Tips
The Heart Rate programs enhance your overall
cardiovascular fitness levels to help you achieve your weight
loss and fitness goals. 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.
• Each program provides a 3-minute warm-up period.
During this time, you may change the incline or speed.
Note: When your target heart rate is achieved or the
3-minute period elapses, the warm-up period ends and
the program begins.
• Each program automatically adjusts the incline to keep
your heart rate at the selected target. After the warm-up
period, pressing the INCLINE arrow keys no longer
affects the incline motor. You can press the SPEED
arrow keys to adjust the speed and press the navigational
arrow keys to change the target heart rate during your
exercise session. The display lets you know when
changes to either are about to occur.
• Changing the target heart rate or speed affects the unit’s
ability to maintain your target heart rate in the preferred
zone. It takes time for the treadmill to readjust the incline
so that your heart rate remains on target. Check the
SmartRate and the HEART RATE displays to see if you
are maintaining your preferred zone and to determine
your actual heart rate. For information about
understanding your target heart rate, refer to Heart Rate
Features.
• To adjust the time, press the TIME +/– key and use the
navigational arrow keys or number keypad followed by
OK to change the workout time.
• Cool down periods are incorporated into each program.
The table below briefly explains the purpose of each
program.
