Cooling Down After a Workout
Incorporate a cool-down period into your workout to help lower
your heart rate and minimize muscle stiffness or soreness.
When you complete a program with a time limit or specified goal,
you automatically enter a cool-down period. The settings change to
help reduce the intensity of your workout.
Note: You cannot switch to a different program, goal, or workout
time during the cool-down period. Any pressure on the
PROGRAMS keys is ignored.
A workout summary appears at the end of the cool-down period.
Refer to Ending a Workout.
A cool-down period will not be appended to your exercise session
if the following occurs:

The fitness facility allows an unlimited time goal. A user must
enter a time goal of
NO LIMIT
to access this option. Refer to
Selecting a Program.
The fitness facility sets a cool-down time of zero, which
eliminates the cool-down phase.
You exit a program before completing it.
If you specify an unlimited time or the fitness facility removed the
cool-down phase, remember to incorporate a cool-down period at
the end of your exercise session.
Pausing During a Workout or the
Cool-Down Period
If your rate of motion drops below minimum requirements while
exercising or during the cool-down period, a 30-second shutdown
is initiated. You cannot pause for a longer period of time or change
to a different program unless the fitness facility has the optional
power adapter attached to the equipment.
When the optional power adapter is attached, you can pause for a
set time, usually two minutes. If you do not resume exercising
during that time, the display returns to the banner.
To pause, slow to a stop.
To exit pause mode, resume exercising.
Note: In pause mode, you have the ability to change your program
selection or display options if the optional power adapter is
attached. Refer to Changing Programs in Mid-session and
Changing Your Workout Display Options.
