Cooling Down After Your Workout

Cooling down after your workout helps reduce muscle stiffness and soreness by transporting excess lactic acid out of the working muscles. It also helps your heart rate return to its normal (non-exercising) state.

The M9.25i treadmill automatically incorporates a cool-down period into your workout. (The automatic cool-down does not occur when you are using Manual, Interval, or Random programs.) When the end of the course profile scrolls past on the display, a message appears stating that you have reached the end of the course and the cool-down period is about to begin. Your cumulative workout statistics are saved and any new records are stored with your user I.D. The running belt slows down and the incline returns to 0% to allow a cool-down period in which you can slow your heart rate. The manual course profile appears in the display. You can override the speed and incline by pressing the or keys.

Note: Speed remains constant if you were already at or below 2 mph (3.2 kph).

During your cool down, the displays on the console continue to appear. The Distance and Calorie statistics displayed during your cool down are saved in the software’s memory. The Time display lets you know how long you have been in the cool-down period.

To end a cool-down period, press Hold to Reset for a few seconds. The software adds your cool- down statistics to the cumulative totals, the running belt slows to a gradual stop, and the user I.D. prompt appears.

Pausing Your Workout

You can pause at any time during your workout. Use this feature to rest or take a short break (less than 10 minutes).

To pause while working out, press the STOP key. Hold onto the handrail while the running belt stops so you can safely step off the treadmill. Your workout statistics freeze and remain displayed on the console until you resume your workout.

If you pause for more than ten minutes, the computer adds your workout statistics to the cumula- tive totals and Precor banner scrolls across the display. Do not rely on the Pause feature as a way to end your workout. If you wish to end your workout, follow the instructions in the next section titled, Ending Your Workout.

Important: If you press STOP (to pause) when taking the Fitness Test (program “FT”), you cannot continue the test. The Fitness Test becomes invalid and you do not receive a fitness score.

To resume your workout, straddle the running belt, attach the safety key clip to your clothing, press the Speed key to start the running belt, hold the handrail, and step onto the running belt while the speed is at or below 1 mph. Your workout statistics continue from where you left off. Continue to press the Speed key to increase the speed to a comfortable level. Once you are comfortable with the walking or running speed, you can remove your hands from the handrail.

Ending Your Workout

To end your workout, take the following steps:

1.Hold onto the handrail and press the STOP key. The running belt slows to a gradual stop. The displays on the console freeze which lets you review your workout statistics.

2.Continue to press STOP (Hold to Reset) for a few more seconds and the Precor banner appears. The software adds your workout statistics to the cumulative totals.

3.Straddle the running belt and step off the treadmill.

4.Turn OFF the treadmill. To access the same program the next time you workout, press QUICK START when your user I.D. appears.

5.To prevent unauthorized use, remove the magnetic safety key from inside the electronic console and store it in a safe place.
