Workout Tips

Before and after an exercise session, gently stretch your lower body and back to help prevent stiffness or soreness.

At the beginning of an exercise session, take several minutes to bring your heart rate into your target zone (shown in Diagram A on the other side of this card).

To display your heart rate, use both hands to grasp the touch-sensitive grips.

To pause during your workout, stop pedaling. The pause mode has a 10-minute time limit.

Incorporate a cool-down period into your exercise session to help lower your heart rate and minimize muscle stiffness and soreness.

 

session goal of 30 minutes appears in the TIME display and

 

counts down.

 

Note: To select a different program or choose a USER key, refer

 

to your owner’s manual.

6.

To increase or decrease the ramp incline or resistance, use the

 

CROSSRAMP or RESISTANCE arrow keys.

7.

When you reach the time goal, you automatically enter a

 

cool-down period. After you complete the cool-down period, the

 

equipment displays a summary of your exercise session statistics.

 

If you used the touch-sensitive grips during your workout, your

 

average heart rate appears in the display as well.

8.

Stop pedaling and hold on to the stationary handrail while you

 

carefully step down from the EFX.

9.

To prevent unauthorized use, turn Off the EFX and secure the
