Heart Rate Program Tips
CAUTION: Consult your physician to determine the 
appropriate target heart rate for your age and fitness 
level. Your heart rate should never exceed 85% of your 
maximum aerobic heart rate. Your maximum heart rate 
is equal to 220 minus your age.
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.
The program provides a 3-minute warm-up period. 
During this time, you may change the resistance, but 
you cannot adjust the time. At the end of the warm-up 
period, the program automatically controls the 
resistance.
Note: The warm-up period ends and the program 
begins when the 3-minute period elapses or your target 
heart rate is maintained within +/- 2 beats per minute.
Pressing the RESISTANCE arrow keys during the 
Basic HRC program adjusts your target heart rate.
The program sets the default target heart rate as 70% 
of 220 minus your age. Changing your stride rate or 
ramp incline 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.
Automatic resistance changes appear in the 
RESISTANCE display.
A cool-down period is incorporated into the program.
