URX-MT Reivew: Boot Camp Metabolic Interval & Cards

Last Sunday: Went to stamping. Made these 3 cards. The floral one is embossed so its dimensional- very cool. I dont have embossing tools at home, so that was fun to do.


Today's Tip: Healthy Vegi - Carrots
One cup of chopped raw carrots contains just 52 calories and a mere 12 g of carbohydrates. Only half of the carbs are from natural sugar (the rest are from heart-healthy fiber and complex carbohydrates). That's fewer than you'd get in a cup of milk or a medium-size piece of fruit. Plus, the sugar in carrots comes packaged with vitamins, minerals, and fiber, unlike the excessive empty calories you'd get from foods with added sugar, such as a candy bar or cookies. They also Benefit blood sugar and Promote colon health. Read more on Prevention 




Today's Review: URX-MT: Boot Camp Metabolic Interval
Amy Bento, 2011 ***** (4.5 of 5 stars)



Amy leads this 52 minute cardio + strength rebounding workout in a brick walled gym w/ 4 b/g exercisers. You will need 1-3 # sandweights and your Urban Rebounder.

This workout is formatted into sections of 2 minutes of work followed by 20-30 seconds of recovery. Amy does a great job of utilizing the rebounder & sand weights to really up the intensity of this workout. Tons of unique moves and tried & true exercises done in a new way on the UR. Love the intensity boost that the level changes of going on & off or over the UR provide. This is really a nonstop sweat fest! A great balance of strength & cardio work.

Exercises include: plyo pushups to Mt. climbers, plank moguls, plyo jacks, clock hop arounds (1 leg off UR 1 on), side plnank w/ a balance knee pull, soccer drill, bucket squat w/ big arms, tri dips around UR, sand bag slam moguls, offset deadlift w/ UB movements, crawling pushups, eleveator pushups, Mt climbers- jump on to UR and hop off, jogging, hopping on & off the UR, roll back on the UR and scoot around (core), halo & chop, and balance knee pulls


I rate this an advanced cardio & functional strength rebounding workout! Amy includes a huge variety of exercises so you will never get bored in this one. You will need space around your UR but like I said the on & off really amps up the intensity! A lot of good balance & core work. This is a great addition to the set. I was a sweaty MESS by the end! Received this dvd to review.
