MANUAL MODE AND THE QUICKSTART
TM
KEY
Manual mode lets you determine the resistance level which affects the effort you
put into your workout. As with other courses, when you complete the time limit
set for the course, the automatic cool-down period begins.
You can choose Manual mode in two different ways:
•
pressing the
QuickStart
key at the Precor banner.
QuickStart
bypasses the
remaining selections and starts the Manual course. Default values
include a time limit set by the Club, 150 lbs. (68 kg.) and an age of 0. The
SmartRate display is inactive.
•
pressing
Enter
at the Precor banner. This causes the EFX to display several
Setup prompts. At the course prompt, select the
Manual
course.
The Manual course profile initially appears as a flat line. Use the
▼▲
keys or the
numeric keys to adjust the resistance level. (See page 24 for more information).
As you proceed with your workout, a blinking column represents your position on
the course.
CROSS TRAINING COURSE
The Cross Training course is similar to the Interval Course, but instead of rest and
work intervals the course consists of alternating segments of forward and back-
ward pedaling movements that focus on working the thigh and calf muscle groups.
Ask Club personnel about utilizing the benefits of this type of workout in your
fitness goals.
The course profile displays the forward and backward intervals. The height of the
intervals reflects the changes (if any) made by you to the resistance levels. You
set the resistance for the first forward and backward interval and the software
repeats the settings throughout the course. Any time during the course, you can
adjust the resistance setting by pressing the
▼
or
▲
key, or using the numeric
keypad. The software remembers the new setting and applies it to the subse-
quent backward or forward interval. Prompts appear on the display indicating
when you should change the pedaling direction.
Note
: If a workout
Time
is entered, then the time is divided into five equal inter-
vals (forward, backward, forward, backward, forward) and appears in the course
profile. If no workout
Time
is entered (or “no limit” is set by the club), then the
time per interval is set to one minute.
CROSS COUNTRY AND HILL CLIMB COURSES
In the EFX preprogrammed courses, the resistance is predetermined. This lets
you use the course without bothering to adjust the resistance. However, if you
want to make changes to the resistance level use the numeric keys or
Resistance
▼▲
keys any time during the course. Refer to the
Numeric
keys and
the
Resistance
▼▲
key on page 24.
