When you are finished exercising, review your workout results.
Note: Always allow yourself a cool-down period before ending your workout. Cooling down
after your workout helps reduce muscle stiffness and soreness by transporting excess lactic
acid out of the working muscles. It also helps your heart rate return to its normal (non-
exercising) state. The EFX incorporates a 5-minute cool-down period at the end of its program
courses. To access the cool down mode before coming to the end of a course, hold the
PAUSE key down for 2 to 3 seconds. A prompt appears, indicating that you are in cool down.
10. If desired, after reviewing the displays, reset them to zero by pressing Hold to Reset for
several seconds.
11. If you will not be using the EFX for awhile, turn it 0 (OFF).
Using the Quick Start Feature
The Quick Start feature on the EFX allows you to bypass the setup prompts to quickly access
Manual mode. The weight setting defaults to 150 pounds (68 kg) so all calorie calculations and
their associated displays are based on a body weight of 150 pounds (68 kg). The Smart Rate
display will not work when you use the Quick Start key.
Note: Any prompts that appear after the weight prompt require your input before you can proceed.
You can press Quick Start at any prompt and access Manual mode. However, Quick Start is
disabled once you enter a program and begin your workout.
Retrieving the Previous Workout Program
To retrieve the previous workout program, simply press the ENTER key successively three times
after displaying the weight prompt. Note that if someone else has exercised on the EFX after your
workout, whatever program he or she used will be the one that is restored from memory.
