Cool-Down
It is always a good idea to perform a cool-down at the end of your routine. This
will help transition your body from an aggressive workout to its normal pace. The
time and intensity of the cool-down is automatically customized to your workout
duration and resistance level. The time window will change to a countdown timer
to tell you how long the cool-down will last.
If you have set a time for your workout, the cool-down will automatically start
when time has expired. If you decide to end your workout early or have not set a
time goal, simply push the Cool Down button to activate the custom cool-down.
