Exercising to Your Target Heart Rate

Heart Rate Target Zones

The HEART RATE display shows your heart rate while exercising. To view your heart rate (beats per minute) on the display, grasp both touch-sensitive grips.

To test your current heartrate:

•To use the touch-sensitive grips on the EFX, grasp both grips and wait five to ten seconds.

•If Hr appears in the HEART RATE display, the EFX is not detecting a signal, or has not yet determined your heart rate.

Note: When a signal is detected, the heart rate icon flashes and a number appears in the HEART RATE display that indicates your heart rate.

•Always face forward on the EFX and use the stationary handrail for balance. Keep upper body movement to a minimum.
