A workout on the EFX provides excellent and efficient cardiovascular conditioning, while strength-
ening and toning all the major muscle groups in the lower body. Darkened areas in Diagram 12
indicate the muscles improved.
To get the most out of each workout, a general understanding of the principles behind aerobic
training is invaluable. The best source of information is your specialty fitness dealer. In addition to
providing information on which exercise equipment is best for your individual needs, your fitness
dealer can provide useful advice on training, technique, and exercise physiology. Your dealer can
also recommend good books and audio/video tapes on these subjects.
