Question #21: on Precor Eliptical machines the heart rate monitor has a weight loss zone and a cardio zone, whats best?
It seems to me that you would loose more weight by
working harder and increasing your heart rate into
the cardio zone thus burning more calories. If
thats the case why is the lower heart rate zone
called the weight loss zone.In which zone will I
get better results with weight loss around the
waste?
Answer: The cardio zone is for improving conditiong of the
heart and vascular system at that heart rate the
body goes to the glycogen stores in the muscle for
its energy.Now for fat loss or weight loss the
heart rate is lower allowing the body to work at
breaking down the fat stores and converting to
energy.Basically slowly and stedy for longer
duration allows the Body to continue digesting
while expending,at the higher rate the demands
seem more urgent and may result in using muscle as
energy.

Question #22: How accurate are the calorie counters on precor eliptical machines?
the program asks you your weight and age and from
there can calculate how many calories you are
burning. Do these counters take into account how
much work you are actually doing, the machine has
a watts generated display on it, or is it just
taking an average. Does anyone have a percent
error in accuracy on these things
Answer: On ANY cardio machine you can roughly calculate
that you burn about 10 calories per minute.
Compare it to the machine read out to see if it's
close or accurate.

Question #23: I am almost 32 and work out with my heart rate between 130 and 140.is that good for weight lost or too low?
I work out about 5 days a week between 45 to 60
minutes on the treadmill or the precor, sometimes
half and half.Also my resting heart rate always
fluctuates. Sometimes it can go down to 68 and up
to 95. Seems to change within minutes. Is that
normal?
Answer: I'm pretty sure the rule is that your heart rate
should equal your weight minus your age.

Answer: Define repair. If the motor is not functioning,
you may need to repair the connections or replace
the motor. If the physical mount is damaged, you
may not be able to repair it without a machine
shop.

Question #26: Another elliptical question...on a Precor machine, does distance mean miles?
Answer: If you purchased in the USA then the calculation
is supposed to roughly be equivalent to miles.
Obviously it is only an estimate since the
elliptical movement does not translate directly
into a distance.

Answer: Don't risk your safety to save a couple bucks.
Get a day pass at a real gym, test out the
machines they have there, and if you like their
machines, then purchase THAT brand. You want
something that will last, and REAL gym machines
will last.
