running belt comes to a complete stop and a Workout
Summary banner appears. Workout statistics except TIME,
DISTANCE and CALORIES reset to zero. (Note that the TIME
display shows the accumulated workout time including warm-
up and cool down periods.) You are given 2 minutes to re-
view your workout statistics before the display automatically
resets to the Precor banner. You can also press Reset, to
return to the Precor banner.
8. Detach the security clip from your clothing and carefully
step down from the treadmill.
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 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 5-minute cool down period once
you complete a course. A prompt appears, indicating that you are in cool down.
During your cool down, the workout statistics continue to appear. The TIME dis-
play counts down so you know how much time remains. When you complete the
5-minute cool down, a Workout Summary banner appears. See the information
on page 33.
