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 three minutes helps provide a smooth
transition that allows your heart rate to return to its normal (non-exercising)
state. The treadmill automatically initiates a five-minute cool-down period on
several of its courses. A prompt appears, indicating that you are in cool down.
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 five-minute cool down, a WORKOUT SUMMARY banner appears. See the
information on page 40. The following information describes what happens when
you press certain keys while in the cool-down mode.
