Choose a Program
 
Determine your level of fitness: beginner,
  intermediate, or advanced.
 
Determine your immediate goal: endurance
  training, cardio-conditioning, or weight loss.
If you are a beginner, start a cardio-conditioning 
program to slowly adjust your body to a comfortable 
level of exercise. Over a recommended 8-week 
period, you will increase your endurance and 
strength while improving flexibility.  
If you have been exercising and feel that you have 
reached an intermediate or advanced fitness level, 
you probably have established goals for yourself. 
For all fitness levels, plan to exercise at a comfortable 
pace for 20 to 30 minutes a day. Wear a chest strap 
to monitor your heart rate. Supplement your plans 
with fitness workouts from the Precor website 
(www.precor.com). The Precor website provides 
numerous fitness workouts and expert advice to 
help you reach your fitness goals.
Wear a Chest Strap     
During a workout, the heart rate features appear on 
the display when you wear a chest strap. To receive
an accurate reading, the strap needs to be in direct
contact with your skin. Be sure to wear the chest 
strap underneath your clothing.
Note: The Precor heart rate receiver must be 
properly installed in the display console before a 
heartbeat can be detected. Check with your dealer 
to make sure it is installed in your product.

Cool Down After Your Workout
Cooling down is an important aspect of your workout 
because it helps reduce muscle stiffness and soreness 
by transporting excess lactic acid out of the working 
muscles. Cooling down for at least three minutes helps 
provide a smooth transition that allows your heart rate 
to return to its normal, non-exercising state.
For the greatest benefits, maintain your heart rate in 
either zone (weight loss or cardiovascular) for 30 
minutes or more at least three times a week.
CAUTION: Your heart rate should never exceed 
85% of your maximum aerobic heart rate or go 
above your target zone (Diagram D).
1. Carefully dampen the back of the strap with tap
  water (Diagram A).
  Important: Do not use deionized water. It does
  not have the proper minerals and salts to conduct
  electrical impulses.
2. Adjust the strap and fasten it around your chest.   
  The strap should feel snug, not restrictive 
  (Diagram B).
3.
 
Make sure that the chest strap is right side up, lies
  horizontally across your chest, and is centered in
  the middle of your chest (Diagram C).
 
When these steps are complete, you are ready to
view your heart rate!
SmartRate
®
 and Heart Rate Features
The SmartRate and heart rate displays provide visual 
cues that help you adjust your fitness routine to reach 
your goals. Use these features to keep your heart rate 
within the target zones for weight loss or cardio-
conditioning.
When you begin a workout, a blinking segment in 
the SmartRate display appears if you entered your 
age during the setup phase. The blinking segment 
indicates the current zone of your heart rate: weight 
loss or cardiovascular. For the ideal weight loss 
range, your heart rate should remain between 55% 
and 70% of your maximum aerobic heart rate. To 
improve your overall cardiovascular and respiratory 
fitness level, maintain your heart rate between 70% 
and 85% of your maximum aerobic heart rate.
