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, the running belt speed is reduced by 20%, and the incline is
set to 0%. To adjust the speed or incline, press the arrow keys.
A workout summary appears at the end of the automatic cool-down
period. Refer to Ending a Workout.
Note: A cool-down period will not be appended to your workout
session if the following occurs:
• The club chooses to set NO LIMIT on a user’s workout time
• You select NO LIMIT at the workout time prompt
If no time limit is applied to the workout session, you must end your
workout by pressing the red STOP button.
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 stop the running belt or prematurely end a workout session, do the
following:
1. Grasp a handrail with one hand.
2. Press the red STOP button with your other hand. The treadmill
enters pause mode.
3. Press RES ET to view the workout summary.
4. Press RES ET again to return to the Precor banner.
