3. The Cool Down Phase
This stage is to let your Cardio-vascular System and muscles wind down. This is a repeat of the warm up
exercise e.g. reduce your tempo, continue for approximately 5 minutes. The stretching exercises should now
be repeated, again remembering not to force or jerk your muscles into the stretch.
As you get fitter you may need to train longer and harder. It is advisable to train at least three times a week,
and if possible space your workouts evenly throughout the week.

Reasonable cleaning/lubricating should be undertaken to extend the life time of this unit. Performance is
maximized when the belt and mat are kept as clean as possible.

FOR THESE REASONS WE RECOMMEND YOU REGULARLY LUBRICATE THESS FRICTION POINTS TO PROLONG THE
USEFUL LIFE OF YOUR TREADMILL. FAILING TO DO THIS MAY VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
