• Know your heart rate (pulse) and your physician-recommended heart rate
training zone. Individual heart rates vary according to several physiological
factors and may not correspond directly with the diagrams and tables provided.
• You should not use the Heart Rate capabilities if you are taking any medica-
tions that either speed up or slow down your heart rate.
• Always face forward on your EFX and use the handrail for balance. Keep in
mind that you are working with very sensitive equipment and upper body
movement should be kept to a minimum.
• After putting on the chest strap, be sure that the EFX is ON. Face the display
console for a minimum of 15 seconds. This allows the receiver in the console to
acknowledge the presence of the transmitter. Refer to page 42.
• Incorporate a cool-down period into your workout to help lower your heart rate and
minimize muscle stiffness or soreness.
Course Descriptions
For the courses on the EFX that are limited by time or distance, the display shows
the time remaining. When you complete the time- or distance-based course, the
automatic five-minute, cool-down period begins.
Note: A cool-down period is not appended to courses that are “infinite” or have no
time or distance limit.
The progress that you make during the course is tracked by a blinking cursor. If the
column is several segments high, the entire column blinks. Changes to the incline
levels are echoed in the height of the blinking column.
Note: An exception to time-limit rule does exist. You can turn any course (except the
Weight Loss course) into one that is not limited by time. Refer to Setup Mode and
Prompts on page 30.
The different course numbers and names appear on the following pages along with a
description of the course features. The course label appears in Diagram 28.
