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. Cooling down for at least three minutes 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 com-
plete 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. The TIME dis-
play shows the accumulated time which includes warm-up and cool-down peri-
ods. When you complete the five minute cool down, a Workout Summary ap-
pears.
Important: To activate a cool-down period, a course must "end." The course
ends when the workout Time (entered during the Setup prompts) expires. Note
that custom time limits still apply whether or not a workout Time was entered.

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 shutdown mode. For more information, refer to page 24.
Note: If the optional battery recharger is supplying power to the EFX, the
factory setting for Pause mode is two minutes (120 seconds). Custom options in
the Advanced Programming section let you 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 Advanced Programming on page 42.
In a course,

I A L P R O D
This is what happens...,
Enter Cool Down. At the start of the cool-down period, the
resistance is reduced by 20 percent. You can adjust the
setting using the numeric or Resistance ▼▲ keys. The
display features remain, so you can review your workout
statistics.
Note: A cool-down period is appended to those courses that
have a finite duration. If you do not enter a workout Time
during the Setup prompts, or the custom setting is set to
"NO LIMIT" as the default duration, then a cool-down period
does not occur when you reach the end of a course.
Enter the Workout Summary mode. You can scan through
the workout statistics by pressing the Change key. Note
that the TIME display shows the accumulated workout time
including warm-up and cool down periods.
