Using the Weight Loss Mode
The Precor Weight Loss mode 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.
The Weight Loss mode is similar to the interval course program on your
M9.20/s treadmill. The Weight Loss mode program provides a 28-minute
workout with inclines preset to a minimum level for the 4-minute rest interval
and a maximum level for the 4-minute work interval.
You can adjust the incline during any interval segment. However,
changing the
incline will reduce the effectiveness of your weight loss program. Any time you
adjust the incline, the software returns to the default incline of minimum or
maximum at the beginning of the next rest or work interval. The treadmill alerts
you of upcoming incline or interval changes by scrolling messages across the
display.
The Weight Loss mode is designed to help you burn the most fat during a
28-minute workout, while minimizing the risk of discomfort and injury. Per-
formed three or four times a week, the weight loss mode will help you reach
your ideal weight and fitness level quickly and efficiently.
CAUTION: Before beginning any fitness program, you should have a
complete physical examination from your personal physician.
To use the Weight Loss mode, follow the steps found in the section titled
Working Out on Your M9.20/s Treadmill. When the electronic console display
prompts you to select a mode, use the
keys to select “WT. LS.” and then,
press ENTER.
Note: Be sure to enter your correct weight at the weight prompt. Deviating
from your actual weight reduces the effectiveness of the weight loss program.
