When you have completed a course that has a limited dura-
tion, a five-minute cool-down period automatically begins.
Hold onto the stationary handrail while the EFX reduces the
resistance by 20%. Note that you can always exit a course
prematurely using the Reset key. Refer to
Pause, Cool Down
and Exit Features on page 25.
Note: Not all courses supply the cool-down period. See
Cooling Down After Your Workout.

After you complete the five-minute cool-down period (or
exit a course prematurely using the Reset key), the Work-
out Summary banner appears. Workout statistics except
TIME, STRIDES and CALORIES reset to zero. (Note that
the TIME display shows the accumulated workout time
including the cool-down period.) You are given two min-
utes to review your workout statistics before the display
automatically turns off. You can also press Reset, to re-
turn to turn off the display.
5.
Hold onto the stationary handrails while you carefully step
down from the EFX.
If your club does not have the CSAFE option and you wish to
monitor your progress toward your fitness goals, a form for record-
ing workout statistics is provided on page 35.

while you step off
the EFX.
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 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. The TIME
display shows the accumulated time which includes the cool-down period. When
you complete the five-minute cool down, a Workout Summary appears. See
the information beginning on page 25.
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 do not
enter a Workout Time or the club has set “no limit” as the default duration, then a
cool-down period is not appended to the end of a course.
