C956 WEIGHT LOSS COURSE
The Precor Weight Loss course 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 Course, 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 C956 automatically
adjusts the incline of the treadmill and maintains your heart rate settings while in
the rest or work intervals.
Note: For the C956 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 Work-
ing Out
on page 35. When the Course prompt appears, enter the appropriate
course number. Refer to the course 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 course, the automatic cool-
down period begins.
C956 GOAL-BASED COURSES
These C956 courses are similar to the time-based Manual course except that the
user’s position and course duration are based on a “distance” or “calorie” goal.
Note: A club time limit may exist for these courses. Refer to
Club Information
on
page 21.
When you complete the goal set for the course, the automatic cool-down period
begins.
