The following information describes the information that appears in the center display. The information is shown in alphabetic order.
CALORIES—displays the estimated cumulative number of calories burned. The calorie calculation is derived from the pedaling speed, resistance level, and your weight. An accurate weight entry results in a more accurate calorie count. When using QUICKSTART and a weight has not been specified, the default weight is 150 pounds (68 kilograms).
DISTANCE—shows a linear distance in either miles or kilometers. The distance is calculated based on the amount of energy you expend during your workout, and is equal to a distance that you might run or walk using the same amount of energy.
HEART RATE—displays your heart rate if you are wearing the chest strap.
PROFILE—appears on the display and corresponds to the program you selected. As you continue your workout, a blinking column indicates your position in the program.
•The height of the column indicates the level of incline on units with moveable ramps. Every time the ramp incline changes by two sequential levels (up or down) the height of the column changes by one cell.
•On the EFX5.19, the height of the column indicates the level of resistance. Every time the resistance changes by three sequential levels (up or down) the height of the column changes by one cell.
If the profile is only one cell high, then markers (
) appear occasionally and provide a sense of movement through the program.
STRIDES—shows the total number of strides completed, which is always an even number since two strides create one complete revolution of the flywheel. A stride is an exaggerated walking movement. On the EFX, if you start in a position with one foot pedal in front, a stride is completed when you move the rear foot pedal all the way forward while the other foot pedal moves to the rear.
