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, a
Workout 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 33.
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 25.

Note

the Setup prompts, or you select INFINITE, then a cool-down
period does not occur when you reach the end of a course.
