Begin working out and then, adapt the resistance level to meet your fitness goals.
CAUTION: Before beginning any fitness program, have your physician
give you a complete physical examination.
USING THE HANDLEBARS
The handlebars on the EFX provide an upper-body workout that, when used
properly, helps increase cardiovascular fitness. By adding the upper-body move-
ment to your cross training workout, you’re actually increasing your work
effort and enhancing your overall fitness level. A variety of hand positions can
intensify the effectiveness of your workout. Ask the Club personnel for ideas
on how to utilize the EFX handlebars to meet your personal fitness goals.
USING THE STATIONARY HANDRAILS
When you step on to or off of the foot pedals and when you use the display
keys, always grasp at least one of the stationary handrails to help keep your
balance. During a workout, use the stationary handrails to rest or slow down
your upper-body movement.
If your club purchased the Precor Touch Heart Rate factory-installed option,
“touch-sensitive” electrode strips are part of the stationary handrails. If you wish
to view your heart rate on the display, grasp the touch-sensitive electrode strips
on the handrails while working out. Your heart rate signal is transmitted to the
receiver installed in the display console. During your workout, the heart rate
indicator lights and blinks at the same rate as your pulse. This lets you see what
your heart rate is doing even when the display is presenting other workout
statistics. For more information, refer to
The Heart Rate Feature
on page 30.
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.
In a course, This is what happens...,
you complete it Enter Cool Down. At the start of the cool-down period, the
resistance is reduced by 20%. You can adjust the setting
using the numeric or ▼▲ keys. The display features re-
main, so you can review your workout statistics.
Note: A Cool-down period is appended to those courses
that have a finite duration. If you do not enter a Workout
Time during the Setup prompts, or the club has set “no
limit” as the default duration, then a cool-down period does
not occur when you reach the end of a course.
