Heart Rate Program Tips
The Basic HRC Program enhances your overall
cardiovascular fitness level 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 program functions. 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 CrossRamp or
resistance, but you cannot adjust the time or change to a
distance or calorie goal. At the end of the warm-up period,
the program automatically controls the resistance.
Pressing the RESISTANCE arrow keys has no affect.
Note:
When your target heart rate is achieved or the
3-minute period elapses, the warm-up period ends and
the program begins.
• The program sets the target heart rate as a percentage of
220 minus your age. Changing the target heart rate your
stride rate or CrossRamp affects the unit’s ability to
maintain your target heart rate in the preferred zone. It
takes time for the EFX to readjust the resistance 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
.
• Changes to the CrossRamp are reflected in the program’s
profile. Automatic resistance changes appear in the
RESISTANCE display.
• To change your target heart rate, refer to

• To adjust the time, press TIME +/– and use the navigational
arrow keys or number keypad followed by OK to change
the workout time after the warm-up period elapses.
• To change to a distance- or calorie-based goal, press the
GOAL key after the warm-up period elapses. Refer to
Adjusting Program Goals
.
• To change the program, select a different PROGRAMS
key and press OK.
