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.

Note: You cannot switch to a different program during the cool-down period. To alter the cool-down period time limit, refer to Setting a Cool-Down Time Limit.

When you complete a program with a time limit or specified goal, you automatically enter a cool-down period. The running belt slows by about 20% and the incline returns to 0% grade. To readjust the speed or incline, press the SPEED or INCLINE arrow keys.

A workout summary appears at the end of the cool-down period. Refer to Ending a Workout.

Important: If you exit a program before completing it, the cool-down period is bypassed.

Note: The red STOP button and the PAUSE/RESET key can be used interchangeably. So, for the following steps, you may use the red STOP button instead of the PAUSE/RESET key.

To prematurely end the cool-down period, do the following:

1.Grasp a handrail with one hand.

2.Press the PAUSE/RESET key with your other hand. The treadmill enters pause mode.

3.Press PAUSE/RESET to view the workout summary.

4.Press PAUSE/RESET again to return to the banner.

Important: Hold on to a handrail extension. Step off the treadmill when the lift has stopped moving.
