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 preprogrammed with recommendations for incline levels, pace, and alternating rest or work intervals.
Program Tips • Work out indefinitely in any program (except Weight Loss). At the TIME prompt, specify 0:00. 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.
Weight Loss (WLS) Program With the Weight Loss Program, the workout time is fixed at 28 minutes and consists of seven, 4-minute intervals. You are not prompted for a workout time. For ideal weight loss range, your heart rate should be between 55% and 70% of your maximum aerobic heart rate.
Interval (INTV) Program The Interval Program is among the best for conditioning your cardiovascular system. The program raises and lowers your level of exertion repeatedly for a specified period of time. When you begin the program, the speed and incline are preset. You can change the speed and incline levels using the arrow keys.
Walk (WALK) Program The Walk Program is a great cardio-conditioning program for both beginners and serious walkers. The incline is preprogrammed. The percentage of incline and the frequency with which the columns change determine the level of difficulty. You can change the speed and override the preprogrammed incline using the arrow keys.

It takes time for the treadmill to readjust the incline so that your heart rate remains on target. Note: If you are having difficulty with the heart rate features, refer to Advanced Programming and Troubleshooting.
• You have a 2-second window to access diagnostics mode. You may want to ask another adult for help. When you turn the treadmill ON, all the LEDs on the display light for two seconds. During this 2-second period, you need to press the appropriate keys quickly and without pause.
