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 touch-sensitive grips on the handrail or the optional
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.” Refer to Diagram 11 on page 30. 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 Working
Out on page 27. When the Course prompt appears, choose the Weight Loss course
number. Refer to the course label on the accessory tray.
Important: During your workout, you can change the 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 auto-
matic cool-down period begins.
