• pressing ENTER at the Precor banner. This causes the C954i or C956i
to display several Setup prompts. At the program prompt, you select
#1 — Manual program.
The Manual program profile appears as a flat line. Use the ▼▲ keys or the
numeric keys to adjust the incline or speed. (See pages 30 and 31 for more
information on the different key’s function.) As you proceed with your workout, a
blinking cell represents your position on the program.
C956i TRACK COURSE
The C956i Track course presents an oval as the program profile. The “lap” count
appears on the inside of the oval and a blinking segment indicates your position on
the track. One loop around the track represents 440 yards (0.25 miles) or 400 meters.
You can continue (counterclockwise) around the track for the duration of the
course (which can be limited by the club). The lap count that appears represents
the number of laps completed, plus the one that your on.
C956i PROGRAMS WITH PRESET INCLINES
In the C956i preset programs, the incline is predetermined. You can make changes to
the running belt speed (numeric keys or SPEED ▼▲ keys) throughout the program
and even the preset incline can be overridden using the INCLINE ▲▼ keys or the
numeric keys.
C956i INTERVAL PROGRAM
The 3 interval programs on the C956i let you select the rest and work intervals
according to your training regimen. In the 1-3 interval program, each rest interval
is followed by 3 work intervals. In the 1-2 interval program, each rest interval is
followed by 2 work intervals. In the 1-1 interval program, each rest interval is
followed by 1 work interval. You set the incline and speed for the first rest and work
interval and the software repeats the intervals throughout the program. At any
point during the workout, you can change the settings of the current interval by
simply pressing the ▼▲ or number keys. The software remembers the new
settings and applies it to the appropriate rest or work interval.
Important: If you entered your Age during the Setup prompts and wear the POLAR
®
chest strap or utilize the “touch” heart rate, you can adjust the rest or work intervals to
keep your heart rate in its recommended zone. For the weight loss mode, try to main-
tain your heart rate at the lower end (55% of maximum heart rate) while in the “rest”
intervals and keep it at 70% of maximum heart rate while in the “work” intervals. See
Diagram 23 on page 38.
