Exercise your soul with the Treadmill Rosary

I call this the Treadmill Rosary because I designed it so that I could keep up with my prayers when I go to the gym. I put my smartphone on the treadmill book ledge and begin to pray. I check off each prayer as I go. This is the barebones model.  I'll be using the same framework for other prayer themes.

Pray the Rosary

make the Sign of the Cross: 

and still on the Crucifix
pray the Apostle's Creed:

After the Rosary:

HAIL, HOLY QUEEN, Mother of Mercy,
our life, our sweetness and our hope!
To thee do we cry,
poor banished children of Eve;
 to thee do we send up our sighs,
 mourning and weeping in this vale of tears.
Turn then, most gracious advocate,
thine eyes of mercy toward us,
 and after this our exile,
show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
 O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary!

V. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God.

R. That we may be made worthy
 of the promises of Christ.

Let us pray.
 O GOD, whose only begotten Son,
 by His life, death, and resurrection,
 has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life,
grant, we beseech Thee,
that meditating upon these mysteries
of the Most Holy Rosary
 of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
we may imitate what they contain
and obtain what they promise,
through the same Christ Our Lord. Amen.

Then, finally,
pray One Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be

 for the Pope and the Bishops
and to obtain the indulgences promised:
