Be careful getting on and off the treadmill, as it will still be moving. Also, this workout is not one that would work well in a crowded gym, especially if there are people waiting to use the machines. If this is too hard or too easy, adjust the incline and/or speed to fit your level. Don't forget to print this workout — your jeans will thank you!
