Get Up & Go Workout #1 (Treadmill Routine PLUS Music)

Hello Everyone-

Here is my first customized workout on a treadmill with music just for YOU!  If you don't like any of the music feel free to pick your own tunes.  I realize Rihanna might not be for everyone.

If you have workouts you would like to see or feedback on this workout let me know.

Good luck & enjoy!
