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 warm-up and cool-down periods. When
you complete the five minute cool down, a Workout Summary appears. See the
information below.
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.)
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.
Since the EFX is self-powered, foot pedal movement must be continuous to avoid
shutdown mode. For more information, refer to page 24.
Note: If the optional battery recharger is supplying power to the EFX, the factory
setting for Pause mode is two minutes (120 seconds). The club has the option to
change the setting. A duration can be set between 1 and 120 seconds and limits
how long a user can pause his or her workout. Refer to Club Information on page 19.

you complete it Enter Cool Down. At the start of the cool-down period, the resis-
tance is reduced by 20 percent. You can adjust the setting using
the numeric or Resistance ▼▲ 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.
