Precor EFX576i User Manual

 

This section describes the programs available on the equipment. 
Use this section as a reference tool to better understand each 
program’s purpose. 

Choosing a program depends on your goals. If you are a beginner 
or returning to regular exercise, you can start a cardio-conditioning 
program to slowly return your body to a comfortable level of 
exercise. If you have been exercising and feel that you have an 
intermediate or advanced fitness level, you probably have 
established goals. The Precor web site (www.precor.com) can give 
you many ideas about fitness routines and advice from the experts. 

Several of the exercise choices on the equipment are 
preprogrammed with recommended settings. However, you have 
the option to override the suggested settings, with some 
exceptions. If changes are not allowed, a message scrolls across 
the display explaining your options. 

If your level of exertion becomes too great, reduce your level of 
intensity by overriding each upcoming segment in the program 
profile. When you complete a program that contains a time limit or 
goal period, an automatic cool-down period begins.
