URX-MT Review: URX-MT Metabolic Strength Cardio Interval

MAC Cake: Did this cake for DH's coworkers bday. She ordered it for her & her MIL who share a bday. So the "50's" are for MIL and the 35 is for her. Its a girly theme- hence the MAC makeup, high heels, stars, & zebras. I tried to incorporate all her colors & ideas....white cake with raspberry mousse, chocolate cupcakes with hazelnuts, choco-hazelnut mousse filling, choco buttercream, fondant makeup, & decor.  ( Custom cakes by Lindsey Lu. Phoenix custom cakes. Specialty Cakes Phoenix. Arizona custom specialty cakes. Specialty cupcakes phoenix. Custom cupcakes  Phoenix wedding cakes. )

Today's Tip: Watch Out For the Weekend....
We can stick to a routine during the week, but on weekends, it's easy let loose. Make a plan for your weekend eating, starting with Friday night. What are you going to eat for meals? What are you going to snack on? How will you make healthy choices at a restaurant or dinner party? If you maintain healthy habits over the weekend, you won't spend the beginning of your week making up for bad choices. Weekends are the WORST for me!  Read more on Exercise TV.

Today's Review: URX-MT Metabolic Strength Cardio Interval
Patrick Goudeau, 2011 **** (4 of 5 stars)


Patrick leads this 45 minute rebounding workout in a brick walled gym w/ 3 b/g exercisers. This workout is mostly cardio but includes a nice core section at the end. You will need 1-3 # sand weights- and your Urban Rebounder. 


Patrick doesnt use the sand weights a whole lot in this one but you could easily use them to amp up the intensity. You will be on and off your UR and have one foot off & one at times- I like the intensity push these types of exercises offer. Some of the moves will work your muscles but I found this to be mostly cardio.


Exercises Include: 180 jumps, hop on-off-and-over the UR, fast jog, knee pulls w/ 1 foot on the UR & one off, fast feet, step touch over the UR, single leg hop, tuck jumps, pulse & jump, star jumps, and core work includes: plank heel taps, plank side leg push through, plank knee pulls, plank jacks, hand walk arounds, feet on the UR planks, bicycles, V twists, plank to hi plank, and cat walks.


I would rate this a solid to high intermediate cardio workout. Patrick is a great lead and his cuing is right on. The core section is very unique and I def felt my core the next day. This is a great addition to the URX-MT set. Received this dvd to review.
