Manual Course: Resistance and ramp incline changes are completely under your
control. The profile is initially a flat line. If changes are made to the incline, the course
profile reflects the changes in all subsequent segments. The blinking cursor indi-
cates your position on the course.
Note: Pressing Quick Start at the Precor banner bypasses the User I.D. selection
and lets you start your workout immediately using the Manual course. Default values
apply. Refer to
The Setup Mode and the Quick Start Feature
on page 26.
Cross Training Interval Course: The course consists of alternating segments of
forward and backward pedaling movements that focus on working the thigh and calf
muscle groups. Display prompts indicate when you should change pedal direction.
Set the resistance and incline levels during the forward and backward intervals and
the software remembers the settings. Each subsequent forward and backward interval
uses the same resistance and incline levels until you change them.
Gluteal Course: After selecting the Gluteal course during the Setup mode, you are
prompted for a workout time. The incline on this course is preset. However, you can
override the incline settings, while working out, by pressing the Crossramp ▲▼
keys. The changes are saved and applied the next time you use the Gluteal course.
You can change the resistance level anytime during the course by pressing the
Resistance ▼ or ▲ keys. Unlike the incline settings, the resistance changes made
during the course are not saved.
Interval Course: The interval course is one of the best for conditioning your cardio-
vascular system. The course is designed to raise and lower your heart rate in a
repeating fashion for an indefinite period of time.
The interval course on the EFX lets you determine the rest and work interval times that
best fit your training regimen. Once you begin the course, you are prompted to set the
resistance and ramp incline for the first rest and first work intervals. The software takes
over from there, repeating the intervals throughout the course. Once you complete the
course, it can be automatically recalled using the same User I.D. and course number.
Note: You are prompted to specify a time limit for each interval when you choose the
INTV course during the Setup mode.
To set the length of time for each rest and work interval, take the following steps:
1. Starting at the Precor banner, select your User I.D. by pressing the Select [1] or
Select [2] key.
2. Press Enter.
