THE IMPORTANCE OF WARM UP AND COOL DOWN
WARM UP
The first 2 to 5 minutes of a workout should be devoted to warming up.
The warm-up will limber your muscles and prepare them for more
strenuous exercise. Make sure that you warm-up on your Horizon
Fitness product at a slow pace.
COOL DOWN
Never stop exercising suddenly! A cool-down period allows your heart
to readjust to the decreased demand. Make sure that your cool down
period consists of a very slow pace to allow your heart rate to lower.
After the cool-down, repeat the stretching exercises on page 21 to
loosen and relax your muscles.
FOLDING
Firmly grasp the back end of the treadmill. Carefully lift the end of the
treadmill deck to the upright position until the foot lock latch engages
and securely locks the deck into position. Make sure the deck is securely
latched before letting go. To unfold, firmly grasp the back end of the
treadmill. Gently press down on the foot lock latch with your foot until
the lock latch disengages. Carefully lower the deck to the ground.
