Cooling Down After Your Workout

Cooling down after your workout helps reduce muscle stiffness and soreness by transporting excess lactic acid out of the working muscles. It also helps your heart rate return to its normal (non-exercising) state.

The M9.55 treadmill automatically appends a cool-down period to several of the M9.55 courses. (See “Important” below.) A message appears and notifies you that you have reached the end of the course and the cool-down period is about to begin. The running belt slows by about 20% and the incline returns to 0%. The Manual course profile appears in the display. You can change the speed and incline by pressing the respective ▼ or ▲ keys.

During the 5-minute cool down, the displays on the console continue to appear. The TIME display shows the time remaining in the cool down period.

To prematurely end the 5-minute cool-down period, press the red Stop button and then Reset. Your workout statistics are added to the cumulative totals while the running belt slows to a gradual stop. The Workout Summary display appears so you can review your cumulative totals.

Important: The automatic 5-minute cool down does not occur when you are using Manual, Track, Interval, Random, Heart Rate, or Custom courses. In any other course, if you exit the course prior to its completion, then the automatic 5-minute cool down program is not implemented.
