C956i WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM
The Precor Weight Loss program incorporates the latest findings on fat-burning and
weight loss through exercise. It is based on research at the world-renowned Cooper
Institute for Aerobics Research and it is designed to help you burn the most fat
during a 28-minute workout, while minimizing the risk of discomfort and injury. The
Weight Loss program is similar to the Heart Rate Program, but the target heart
rates differ. The rest interval’s target heart rate is preset to 55% of (220 - your age),
while the work interval is preset to 70% of (220 - your age). The C956i automatically
adjusts the incline of the treadmill and maintains your heart rate settings while in the
rest or work intervals.
Note: For the C956i to detect a heart rate, the user must wear the POLAR
®
chest
strap or hold onto the touch-sensitive grips on the handrail. The POLAR
®
chest
strap and touch-sensitive grips are optional equipment that can be purchased
from your dealer.
To use the Weight Loss program, follow the steps found in
Quick Steps to Working
Out
on page 35. When the program prompt appears, enter the appropriate
program number. Refer to the program label to the side of the display.
Important: During your workout, you can change the target heart rate using the
INCLINE

keys. The treadmill automatically readjusts the incline so that your
heart rate remains on target.
Note: When you complete the time limit set for the program, the automatic cool-
down period begins.
C956i GOAL-BASED PROGRAMS
These C956i programs are similar to the time-based Manual program except that the
user’s position and program duration are based on a “distance” or “calorie” goal.
Note: A club time limit may exist for these programs. Refer to
Club Information
on
page 21.
When you complete the goal set for the program, the automatic cool-down period
