Why do treadmills and elliptical machines have that 5 minute cool down time after a programmed workout. Is it necessary?
In: 2
The treadmill and elliptical machines have that cooldown period programmed into them, because it’s what you’re supposed to do with *any* cardio exercise regardless of whether you’re doing it on a machine or out in the world.
The warm up and cooldown periods are to ease the stress on your body before and after working out.
