Weight Loss Course - Precor EFX546 Owner's Manual

C O M M E R C
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
change the incline or Resistance
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 remaining
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 four minutes. If you use the heart rate grips on the handrail or wear the
®
POLAR 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 course, once you set the resistance levels for the
first rest and work interval, the EFX automatically repeats the interval settings
throughout the course.
To use the Weight Loss program, follow the steps found in Quick Steps to Work-
ing Out on page 31. When the Course prompt appears, choose the appropriate
course number. Refer to the course label on the accessory tray.
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
automatic cool-down period begins.
