press the Quick Start key. Refer to QUICK START on
page 25.
To pause during your workout session before finishing
the selected course, stop pedaling. See
Pause, Cool
Down and Exit Features
for more information.
4. When you have completed a course that has a limited
duration, a 5-minute cool down period automatically be-
gins. Hold onto the stationary handrail while the EFX re-
duces 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 26.
Note: Not all courses supply the cool-down period. See
Cooling Down After Your Workout
.
5. After you complete the 5-minute cool-down period (or exit
a course prematurely using the Reset key), the Workout
Summary banner appears. Workout statistics except
TIME, STRIDES and CALORIES reset to zero. (Note that
the TIME display shows the accumulated workout time
including warm-up and cool-down periods.) You are given
2 minutes to review your workout statistics before the
display automatically resets to the Precor banner. You
can also press Reset, to return to the Precor banner.
6. Hold on to 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
recording workout statistics is provided on page 35.

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 3 minutes helps provide a smooth
transition that allows your heart rate to return to its normal (non-exercising)
state. The EFX automatically initiates a 5-minute cool-down period once you
complete a course that has a specified time duration. A prompt appears, indicat-
ing 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 warm-up and cool-down
periods. When you complete the 5-minute cool down, a Workout Summary
appears. See the information beginning on page 26.
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 no workout
Time entry occurred, then (from a software perspective) no time limit exists, so a
cool-down period is not appended to the course. (However, club time limits still apply
whether or not a workout Time was entered.)
Important: Do not
switch to the moveable
handlebars until you are
comfortable with the
movement of the EFX.
