Chapter 3 Introducing Users to the P10 Console CAUTION: Before beginning any fitness program, see your physician for a thorough physical examination. Seek advice from your physician to learn the target heart rate appropriate for your fitness level. The P10 console offers an easy-to-follow display and multiple workouts to help people meet their exercise needs.
32 Operating and Maintaining the P10 Console When gripping the sensors, do not grip tightly. Keep a loose, cupping hold. Holding the grips tightly can affect the reading. As you work out, your perspiration will help transmit your heart rate signal. If you have difficulty using the handheld grips to determine your heart rate, try the sensors again later in the workout to see if you can obtain a heart rate signal.
Introducing Users to the P10 Console 33 Using a Chest Strap Transmitter WARNING Signals used by the chest strap transmitter (or heart rate strap) may interfere with pacemakers or other implanted devices. Consult your physician and the manufacturers of your chest strap transmitter and implanted device before using a chest strap transmitter. Wearing a chest strap transmitter during your workout provides steady heart rate information.
34 Operating and Maintaining the P10 Console Using the Treadmill Safety Clip The treadmill is equipped with three different stop functions, which behave as follows: If the user … Then the treadmill belt … Slows to a Pulls on the lanyard attached to the safety stop clip and trips the restart switch And the console … Shows the words PUSH THE RESET SWITCH. On some console models, an arrow points toward the Restart switch.
Introducing Users to the P10 Console 35 Instruct users on how important it is to use the safety clip while exercising on the treadmill, and demonstrate how they should attach it to their clothing near the waistline. If the restart switch trips during exercise, perform the following steps: 1. Reattach the safety clip if necessary. 2. Press the restart switch down until it clicks, returning it to its normal position. Note: If the restart switch trips, all information about the current workout is deleted. 3.
36 Operating and Maintaining the P10 Console Treadmill Auto Stop™ (Automatic Stop) Function Important: The default setting for this feature is ON. An administrator can turn off this feature in the System Settings; however, Precor recommends it remain ON. The Auto Stop™ (Automatic Stop) feature is designed to bring the treadmill to a gradual stop when it is not in use. This might occur if a user steps off the treadmill before the end of a workout and leaves the treadmill running.
Chapter 4 Starting a Workout CAUTION: If you are using a treadmill, be sure to attach the security clip to your clothing before starting your workout. The equipment is in the Welcome state when the words SELECT A WORKOUT OR PRESS QUICKSTART TO BEGIN scroll across the scrolling text display. If the equipment is connected to CSAFE, the words SELECT A WORKOUT, PRESS QUICKSTART, OR ENTER TO BEGIN scroll across the text display.
38 Operating and Maintaining the P10 Console Starting a Preset Programmed Workout Preset workouts are a great way to tailor your workouts to your fitness goals, stay challenged, and add variety to your sessions. These workouts are arranged in the following categories: Manual Heart Rate Interval Weight Loss Variety Performance Pausing and Resuming an Exercise Session When you interrupt a workout, the equipment responds in one of two ways, depending on how it is powered.
39 Starting a Workout Ending a Session 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. In addition, a three to five minute cool down allows your heart rate to return to its normal, resting state. At the end of your workout, a Summary screen displays your average heart rate during your workout and your accumulated workout metrics.
40 Operating and Maintaining the P10 Console Three different types of metrics are captured during a workout. Controlled Metrics can be set and changed. They include: Resistance Level (AMT, EFX, bike) Speed (treadmill) Incline (treadmill) Crossramp (EFX) Current Performance Metrics describe the intensity of a workout in real time.
41 Starting a Workout Workouts Your fitness equipment includes a wide selection of workouts that are carefully designed to make sure you get the best results out of every workout. The human body is extremely efficient. If it makes the same motion regularly over many days or weeks, it learns to make that motion with less and less effort. This process, called muscle adaptation, has one drawback—the longer you stick to the same workout, the less good that workout does you.
42 Operating and Maintaining the P10 Console Weight Loss Key Pressing the Weight Loss key scrolls through the workouts that are designed to encourage weight loss and aerobic conditioning. The American College of Sports Medicine® recommends that adults get at least 30–60 minutes of moderately intense exercise five days a week. The Weight Loss workout provides a structured and time-based aerobic challenge designed to help you reverse or prevent weight gain.
43 Starting a Workout Performance Key Press the Performance key repeatedly to select a workout that conditions and tests the body’s muscular and aerobic performance. Note: On treadmills, a fitness test option is also available. A technician at the fitness facility must activate the fitness test before you can use it. After the test has been activated, you can scroll between the Track and Fitness Test workouts by pressing the Performance key repeatedly.
44 Operating and Maintaining the P10 Console Cross Training Workouts This workout delivers true training variety and muscular engagement by adjusting the resistance and incline continuously to simulate the dynamic terrain of an outdoor run. The CrossRamp setting is preprogrammed in each of these workouts, but you can change it or the resistance setting at any time.
45 Starting a Workout The treadmill ends the test prematurely if any of the following things happen: The equipment cannot detect your heartbeat. Your heart rate exceeds 85% of your maximum safe rate for 15 seconds or more. Your heart rate changes too quickly. You press the STOP switch or pull on the safety clip lanyard. Important: For best results, sit and rest for at least five minutes before you take the test.
46 Operating and Maintaining the P10 Console Variety Key Pressing the Variety key selects a random or specialized workout designed for the fitness equipment you are using. Random Variety (for both the muscles and the mind) is the key to continued success for every exercise goal. The Random workout delivers a different training profile every time you select it. The one-minute segments that appear in the workout profile maintain a set incline that you can override.
47 Starting a Workout Interval Key Interval workouts help exercisers improve strength, endurance, aerobic and anaerobic fitness. They alternate short bursts of high intensity activity with recovery periods. Pressing the Interval key selects the available interval workout. Note: On the AMT, two different interval workouts are available. Press the Interval key repeatedly to scroll between the available workouts.
48 Operating and Maintaining the P10 Console Manual Key The workout available through the Manual key motivates you by allowing you to define and track your exertion levels throughout your exercise session. Training tip: As you progress through your workout, each segment of the profile reflects the last change you made to the intensity settings. Challenge yourself by adjusting your training parameters regularly for the best results.
Chapter 5 Maintenance To keep the equipment functioning properly, perform the minor maintenance tasks in this section at the intervals suggested. Failure to maintain the equipment as described in this section could void the Precor Limited Warranty. DANGER To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always disconnect the equipment from its power source before cleaning it or performing any maintenance tasks.

34 Assembling and Maintaining Elliptical Fitness Crosstrainers: EFX 885 / 835 / 815 Breaking In the Equipment Precor equipment does not require an actual break-in period. However, moving components such as belts, gears, and bearings can settle while the equipment is being stored or shipped. This can cause the equipment to operate with a small amount of roughness or noise when it starts up for the first time. The equipment usually returns to smooth operation after a day or two of normal use.
Chapter 2 Installing the Console To make installation easier, all Precor Experience Series consoles use the same mounting hardware and connector locations whenever possible. The installation sequence for any of them is as follows: Threading the console cable assembly Connecting cables Completing the installation (tightening the mounting screws and attaching the back cover) The following sections describe how to perform these tasks.
