Interval (INTV) Program
The Interval Program is among the best for conditioning your
cardiovascular system. The program raises and lowers your level of
exertion repeatedly for a specified period of time.
When you select the Interval Program, you are prompted to select a
workout time and set the duration of the rest and work intervals. To
select the displayed number, press ENTER or change the number
using the arrow keys. If the workout time you select is an even
number, then all intervals have a 2-minute duration. If the workout
time is an odd number, then the last interval is only one minute.
When you begin the program, you are prompted to set the ramp
incline and resistance for the rest and work intervals. The settings
are repeated throughout the program unless you change them.
To change the settings, press the CROSSRAMP or RESISTANCE
arrow keys and continue. The changes are applied to the remaining
intervals. The display lets you know when the ramp incline or
resistance levels are about to change, and indicates the levels of the
next interval.
Crosstraining (XCTR) Program
The Crosstraining Program has preprogrammed ramp incline
(EFX524i) or resistance (EFX534i) levels. This program consists of
alternating forward and backward pedaling movements that focus on
working the thigh and calf muscle groups. Display prompts indicate
when you should change pedal direction. The time interval between
the directional changes depends on the workout time, which is
divided equally into five sections.
You can change the ramp incline or resistance during the forward
and backward intervals. The program remembers your settings and
repeats them for subsequent forward and backward intervals until
you change them.
When you change the ramp incline on the EFX524i, the program
profile changes accordingly by raising or lowering the height of the
columns. On the EFX534i, the height of the column is affected by
the resistance since the ramp is stationary.
