Cooling Down After a Workout

Incorporate a cool-down period into your workout to help lower your heart rate and minimize muscle stiffness or soreness.

When you complete a program with a time limit, calorie goal, or distance goal, you automatically enter a 5-minute cool-down period. The Manual (MANL) Program profile appears in the display and resistance reduces by 20%. To change the resistance or ramp incline, press the arrow keys.

A workout summary appears at the end of the 5-minute cool- down period. See Ending a Workout.

Important: If you press QUICKSTART or enter a time of INFINITE, the automatic 5-minute cool-down period does not occur. If you exit a program before completing it, the cool-down period is also bypassed.

To prematurely end the 5-minute cool-down period do the following:

1.Grasp the stationary handrail with one hand.

2.Press RESET with your other hand to view the workout summary.

3.Press RESET again to return to the Precor banner.
