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 work- ing 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 cool down period once you complete a course. A prompt appears, indicating that you are in cool down.

Note: The Club has the option to limit the cool down period. It can set a duration between 1 and 5 minutes. Refer to page 23, Setting a Cool Down Time Limit.

During your cool down, the workout statistics continue to appear.The TIME display counts down so you know how much time remains. When you complete the cool down, a Workout Summary banner appears. See the information on page 34.
