When I am doing full body workout with my Sole E55 Elliptical Trainer, the reduction in ankle and knee stress are one of the great engineering designs of the Sole E55. The over-sized pedals along with the 2 degree inward slope to the foot pedals make a very comfortable workout, which in turn allows you to do a more intense workout. After the workout is finished, something that is normally overlooked, ‘The Cool Down”, is very important in helping the body recover and be prepared for the next workout.
Doing the “cool down” after a workout helps your body with letting the heart rate and respiration slow down gradually, it helps avoid dizziness and fainting, it also helps muscles get rid of waste products such as lactic acid, and it helps you end your workout on a good note. At the end of your workout, slow down gradually just like when you warm up at the beginning of your workout. Continue to move around for at least 5 minutes and once you stop sweating, use this time to have some water and rehydrate. You can also do a few stretches to help with flexibility and most importantly let your body relax.
