Sombreros of Birthdays Past & URX-MT Total Body Metobolic Strength Conditioning Review

Sombreros of Bdays Past

Birthday Tradition: Went to Mexican for my bday since its kind of a bday tradition to get an annual pic in a sombrero. Im not really sure why or how this started but here they are...in WA the restaurants always put the picture in a nice bday card and brought out dessert w/ the sombrero. Here- the restaurant people think Im crazy and most dont even have a sombrero I can wear LOL. Maybe its regional? Either way - we always call around & ask if the have a sombrero I can wear...they probably think Im crazy. But thats ok :) So there you have (top) sombreros of birthdays past and then (bottom) this years pic....

Today's Review: URX-MT Total Body Metobolic Strength Conditioning 
Gay Gasper, 2011 *** (3 of 5 stars)


Gay leads this 52 minute mostly cardio rebounding workout in a brick walled gym w/ 3 background exercisers. You will need 1-3 # sandweights and your Urban Rebounder. You wont be jumping on and off the UR very much in this one. You will be using the perimeter for the final strength work though.


While this is mostly old-school aerobic type cardio Gay does provide some strength work to finish up the workout. Exercises include: ham curls, knees, skis, power squats, step off the UR- plank- jack- then hop back on, moguls, single leg hops, a few tuck jumps, jump rope variations, plank to jumping jack combo, weighted roll backs, bridge tricep dips, weighted squat & jump combo, and hi to lo to side planks.


I rate this a solid intermediate workout- one of the less intense in the set. Gay is a good instructor but probably my least favorite in the set. Both her workouts are lower intensity than I expected. She doesnt use the sand weights in this very much- but you could easily use yours for the entirety to amp it up a bit. This one reminds me of a more challenging version of the original UR workouts. Its a good workout but not as intense as I would have expected for this set.
