Fitness Test Scores
When you finish the Fitness Test, a fitness score appears on the
display as part of the workout summary. The test results can help you
gauge the effectiveness of your current exercise routine and tailor it to
meet your fitness goals.
Tables 6 and 7 show the desired range in fitness levels depending on
your age and gender. More information is available at the Precor web
site (www.precor.com).

✳ The test and analysis algorithm were developed by Dr. Emily Cooper of Seattle
Performance Medicine in 2004.
Crosstraining Programs
These programs have preprogrammed incline (EFX576i/EFX546i) or
resistance (EFX556i) levels. The programs consist of alternating
forward and backward pedaling movements that focus on working the
thigh and calf muscle groups.
Three different Crosstraining Programs are available on the EFX576i
and EFX546i. Each places the maximum intensity of the workout at
different portions of the program. Display prompts indicate when you
should change pedal direction. The time intervals between the
directional changes depend on which program you choose.
On the EFX576i and EFX546i, you can change the ramp incline and
resistance levels during the forward and backward intervals. On the
EFX556i, you can change the resistance. The program remembers
your settings and repeats them for subsequent forward and backward
intervals until you change them.
When you change the incline on the EFX546i or EFX576i, the
program profile changes accordingly by raising or lowering the height
of the columns. On the EFX556i, the height of the column is affected
by the RESISTANCE keys.
