Hold onto the handrail while the EFX reduces the resis-
tance by 20%. Note that you can always exit a course pre-
maturely using the

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 auto-
matically resets to the Precor banner. You can also press
Reset,
to return to the Precor banner.
