COOLING DOWN AFTER A WORKOUT

Cooling down is an important aspect of your workout because it helps reduce muscle stiffness and soreness by transporting excess lactic acid out of the working muscles. Cooling down for at least 3 minutes helps provide a smooth transition that allows your heart rate to return to its normal (non-exercising) state. The treadmill automatically initiates a 5-minute cool down period once you complete a course. A prompt appears, indicating that you are in cool down.

During your cool down, the workout statistics continue to appear. The TIME dis- play counts down so you know how much time remains. When you complete the 5-minute cool down, a Workout Summary banner appears. See the information on page 33.
