Manual Program

The Manual Program profile, available by pressing the MANUAL key,
begins as a flat line. You control ramp incline and resistance settings
using the CROSSRAMP or RESISTANCE arrow keys. The program
profile reflects changes to resistance on the EFX556i and changes to
ramp incline on the EFX576i and EFX546i. The blinking column
indicates your position in the program.

The workout time reflects the club default setting. A cool-down period
occurs automatically when you end your workout.

Note: An exception to the cool-down period exists if the club allows it.
Refer to Cooling Down After a Workout for more information.

To use the SmartRate feature, you need to specify your age by
pressing the OPTIONS key and following the display prompts. To
change the workout time, press the TIME +/– key. Refer to Changing
the Workout Time
.

Interval Programs

The Interval Programs, available by pressing the INTERVAL key, are
among the best for conditioning your cardiovascular system. Each
program raises and lowers your level of exertion repeatedly for the
specified period of time.

Each program lets you choose the rest and work intervals according
to your training regimen.

While exercising, you can vary your strides per minute and change the
preset ramp incline or resistance (EFX556i) using the CROSSRAMP
or RESISTANCE arrow keys. The settings are repeated throughout
the remainder of the program.

Note: Ramp incline changes are limited to +/–5% grade variance
from the previous level.

The display lets you know when the ramp incline or resistance (EFX556i)
levels are about to change, and indicates the levels of the next interval.

The Total Body Interval Program is available on the EFX576i. It lets you
specify the time durations for the rest and work intervals.

If you prefer to set a calorie or distance goal, use the OPTIONS key.
Refer to Setting Display Preferences Before Exercising or Changing
Your Workout Display Options
