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, you automatically enter a cool-down period. The Manual Program profile appears in the display and resistance reduces by 20%. To change the resistance, press the RESISTANCE arrow keys.

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

Important: If you specify an unlimited workout time, remember to incorporate a cool-down period at the end of your workout. If you exit a program before completing it, the cool-down period is bypassed.

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

1.Continue pedaling.

2.Press RESET to view the WORKOUT SUMMARY.

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

Pausing During a Workout or the Cool-Down Period

If you stop pedaling anytime during your exercise session or during a cool-down period, the cycle begins a 30-second shutdown procedure. You cannot pause beyond the 30-second limit unless the club has the optional power adapter attached to the unit.

When the optional power adapter is attached, you can pause for a set time, usually two minutes. If you do not resume pedaling during that time, the display returns to the banner.

1.To pause, stop pedaling.

2.To resume exercising from pause mode, begin pedaling.
