At the “SELECT COURSE” prompt, choose your workout mode:
M9.21i —

M9.21si —
all the programs mentioned above plus the preprogrammed courses shown on

Depending on the program you select, you may be prompted to answer more questions or
press the SPEED
▲
key to begin your workout. Hold onto the handrail with one hand while
you press SPEED
▲
with the other hand. Step onto the running belt while the speed is at or
below 1 mph (1.6 kph). Once you are comfortable with the walking or running speed, you
can remove your hands from the handrail.
To pause during your workout session before finishing the selected program, press the
STOP key. The displays on the console freeze. See
Pausing Your Workout or Ending Your
Workout for more information.
Note: Optional hand weights, called Precor Smart Weights, are available from your local
dealer. Precor Smart Weights provide 1- or 2-pound hand weights with the added conve-
nience of remote control. The remote control lets you change your speed or incline and stop
the running belt. Precor Smart Weights give you control of your treadmill’s electronic console
functions while you enjoy the added benefit of an upper body workout. For more information
call your local dealer. To locate the dealer nearest you call, 1-800-4-PRECOR.
10. When you are finished exercising, hold onto the handrail and press STOP. (You can also
press SPEED
▼
until the running belt stops.) You can then review your workout results as
the display scans through DISTANCE, TIME, and CALORIES. (HEART RATE appears if you
are wearing the Precor chest strap.)
Note: Always allow yourself a cool-down period of a few minutes before bringing the running
belt to a complete stop. Cooling down after your workout helps reduce muscle stiffness and
soreness by transporting excess lactic acid out of the working muscles. It also helps your
heart rate return to its normal (non-exercising) state. You can access the manual mode
(MAN’L) from any program by tapping STOP twice in quick succession. Manual mode enables
you to change the speed and incline and adapt a cool-down period into your workout.
