3. A program time blinks in the center display. If a time from
the previous workout is available, it replaces the default
time. Press the arrow keys to select a program time
(between 0 and 240 minutes) and then press ENTER.
Note: If you select a zero time limit, INFINITE appears in
the display and designates an infinite workout time. If you
choose INFINITE, remember to incorporate a cool-down
period at the end of your workout.
4. Enter your weight (1–999) and then your age (1–99).
5. To change a value (program, workout time, weight, or age)
that you have already entered, press RESET and reenter
the information.
Note: You can press QUICKSTART after any of the
prompts (program name, workout time, weight, or age
entry). QUICKSTART applies the existing preferences and
uses default settings for any prompts you skipped.
6. Use the RESISTANCE ▲▼ or CROSSRAMP ▲▼ keys
to change the resistance and ramp incline (EFX5.23).
7. Maintain a consistent stride rate while exercising. Find a
comfortable stride rate between 100 and 150 strides per
minute.
Cooling Down After a Workout
Incorporate a cool-down period into your workout to help
lower your heart rate and minimize muscle stiffness or
soreness.
When you complete a program with a time limit, calorie
goal, or distance goal, you automatically enter a 5-minute
cool-down period. The Manual (MANL) Program profile
appears in the display and resistance reduces by 20%.
To change the resistance or ramp incline, press the arrow
keys.
A workout summary appears at the end of the 5-minute cool-
down period. See Ending a Workout.
Important: If you press QUICKSTART or enter a time of
INFINITE, the automatic 5-minute cool-down period does
not occur. If you exit a program before completing it, the
cool-down period is also bypassed.
To prematurely end the 5-minute cool-down period do the
following:
1. Grasp the stationary handrail with one hand.
2. Press RESET with your other hand to view the workout
summary.
3. Press RESET again to return to the Precor banner.
