COOLING DOWN AFTER A WORKOUT

Cooling down is an important aspect of your workout because it helps reduce muscle stiffness and soreness by transporting excess lactic acid out of the working muscles. It also helps provide a smooth transition that allows your heart rate to return to its normal (non-exercising) state. The EFX automatically initiates a five minute, cool- down period once you complete a course that has a specified time duration. A prompt appears, indicating that you are in cool down.

During your cool down, the workout statistics continue to appear.When you complete the five minute cool down, aWorkout Summary appears.See the information below.

Important:To activate a cool-down period, a course must “end.” The course ends when the workout time (entered during the Setup prompts) expires. If you chose INFINITE, no cool-down period is appended to the course.

PAUSE, COOL DOWN AND EXIT FEATURES

Pausing, cooling down, and exiting are integral parts of your workout and can be accessed any time during a course. The EFX goes through several prerequisites before actually exiting a course.The following tables explain the various situations. Since the EFX is self-powered, foot pedal movement must be continuous to avoid shut down. For more information, refer to page 31.

Note: If the optional battery recharger is supplying power to the EFX, the factory setting for Pause mode is two minutes (120 seconds). The business owner or manager has the option to change the setting. A duration can be set between 1 and 120 seconds and limits how long a user can pause his or her workout. Refer to Custom Settings Mode on page 23.
