9. Use the Incline ▼▲ and Speed ▲▼ keys to change the incline and speed during
your workout. Hold onto the handrail with one hand while you touch the keys with
the other. Note that the keys are very sensitive, you barely need to press the key
for a change to occur. Note that certain courses have preprogrammed speed and
incline changes. Refer to M9.55 Courses on page 35.
10. You can end your workout in one of two ways:
• pressing the red Stop button, or
• entering the automatic 5-minute cool down period that is appended to
several of the courses: Miracle Mile, Yellow Brick Road, Urban Park, 5K Run,
10K Run, Weight Loss, Time Goal, Distance Goal, or Calories Goal.
Note: Use ▼ or ▲ keys to decrease or increase the Speed and Incline during
your cool-down period.
Once you complete the automatic cool-down period, the running belt comes to a
complete stop and a Workout Summary banner appears. Workout statistics
TIME, DISTANCE, and CALORIES are added to your cumulative User I.D. totals
and all other statistics are reset to zero. (Note that the TIME display shows the
accumulated workout time including warm-up and cool down periods.)
Note: To access the Workout Summary from a course, that doesn’t incorporate
the automatic 5-minute cool down, press Stop and then, Reset.
11. You are given 2 minutes to review your workout statistics before the display
automatically resets to the Precor banner. You can also press Reset during that
time, to return to the Precor banner.
12. When the running belt comes to a complete stop, straddle the running belt,
remove the security clip from your clothing, and step off the treadmill.
13. Turn OFF the treadmill to help prevent unauthorized use.
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.
