SUGGESTED STRETCHES
The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right. Move slowly as you stretch—never bounce.
1. Toe Touch Stretch
1
Stand with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend forward from
your hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you reach
down toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then
relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings, back of knees and
back.
2. Hamstring Stretch
2
Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot toward
you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended leg. Reach
toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax.
Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Hamstrings, lower back and
groin.
3. Calf/Achilles Stretch
With one leg in front of the other, reach forward and place your
hands against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and your back foot
flat on the floor. Bend your front leg, lean forward and move your
3
hips toward the wall. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times
for each leg. To cause further stretching of the achilles tendons,
bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles tendons and
4
ankles.
4. Quadriceps Stretch
With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and grasp one
foot with your other hand. Bring your heel as close to your buttocks
as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each
leg. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.
5. Inner Thigh Stretch
Sit with the soles of your feet together and your knees outward. Pull
5
your feet toward your groin area as far as possible. Hold for 15
counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip
muscles.

pro-form 400e starts but won't stay running.
The ProForm PERFORMANCE 400 treadmill may start but not stay running due to several possible reasons:
1. Safety Key Issue – If the safety key is not properly inserted or gets disconnected, the treadmill will stop.
2. Motor or Belt Problem – A faulty motor, loose drive belt, or worn-out walking belt can cause the treadmill to stop.
3. Overheating or Overload – If the treadmill overheats or detects excessive load, it may shut off as a safety measure.
4. Power Supply Issue – Inconsistent power supply, a loose power cord, or a tripped circuit breaker can interrupt operation.
5. Console or Sensor Malfunction – If the console is not detecting movement correctly, it may stop the treadmill.
To diagnose the issue, check the safety key, ensure the belt is properly aligned, confirm the power source is stable, and inspect the motor for overheating.

My motor seems to be very loud. What could cause it to run loud?
The document does not provide specific reasons for the motor of a ProForm PERFORMANCE 400 running loudly. However, loud motor noise in treadmills is commonly caused by worn motor bearings, a loose or damaged drive belt, or buildup of dust and debris inside the motor area. Regular maintenance and inspection may help identify and resolve such issues.
