Programs
This section describes the programs available on the AMT. Use this
section as a reference tool to better understand each program’s
purpose.
Choosing a Program
Choosing a program depends on your goals. If you are a beginner or
returning to regular exercise, you can start a cardio-conditioning
program to slowly return your body to a comfortable level of exercise.
If you have been exercising and feel that you have an intermediate or
advanced fitness level, you probably have established goals. The
Precor web site (www.precor.com) can give you many ideas about
fitness routines and advice from the experts.
Most of the exercise choices on the AMT are preprogrammed with the
option to override the suggested levels by using the RESISTANCE
arrow keys. An exception to this rule is the Heart Rate Program.
If your level of exertion becomes too great, reduce your stride rate or
adjust the resistance level by using the RESISTANCE arrow keys to
override each upcoming segment in the program profile. If you use the
arrow keys, the profile changes accordingly.
Program Tips
• While exercising, you need to move the foot plates constantly.
Stopping any movement causes the AMT to shut down to
conserve battery power. START CLIMBING appears on the
display and the AMT displays a 30-second countdown before it
shuts off. If you move the foot plates during the countdown period,
you can resume exercising where you left off.
• Begin at the Precor banner and choose a program by pressing a
PROGRAMS key or QUICKSTART. Refer to Workout Options.
• A blinking column indicates your position as you progress through
a program.
• Prior to choosing a program, you may press the UNITS/LANG. key
to access units of measure or language settings. After pressing
OK to confirm new settings, you must select a program within five
seconds for the changes to become effective. Refer to Setting
Display Preferences Before Exercising.
• To use the SmartRate feature, you need to specify your age and
wear a chest strap or hold on to the touch-sensitive handlebar
grips. For more information, refer to Changing Your Workout
Display Options.
• The club can set limits on workout, pause, and cool-down times.
Check with your club or facility manager to learn if any club limits
are in place that might affect your program selections.
