• 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 medications
that either speed up or slow down your heart rate.
• Always face forward on your EFX and use the stationary 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 37.
• Incorporate a cool-down period into your workout to help lower your heart rate and
minimize muscle stiffness or soreness. Refer to page 23.
Course Descriptions
The courses on the EFX are limited by time. During your workout, the display shows
the time remaining. When you complete the course, the automatic five-minute, cool-
down period begins.
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 resistance
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
Hill Climb and Weight Loss courses) into one that is not limited by time. During the
Setup mode when you are prompted for the workout TIME, you can press the ▼ key
until "1 MIN" appears on the display. Then, release the key and press and hold the
▼ key for five more seconds. Release the key and "0 MIN" appears on the display
indicating an indefinite workout time. The automatic five-minute cool-down period will
not be appended to the course.
The different course numbers and names appear on the following pages along with a
description of the course features.
