This is the second URX work out I've tried. This work out is led by Amy Bento. Here are my thoughts on it (I won't bother breaking it down because I'm not good at that). First off, Amy is trying way way way to hard to be Bad-ass in this. It's awkward, and she swears a few times to really show "she's bad" and it just comes off as annoying, and not something I'd be thrilled to have my kids repeating. Things like "Hell yah ladies!" (nothing like the f-bomb or anything, but still not needed). What really bothered me about this work out is it didn't feel safe. I'm a very advanced level of home exerciser, and the intensity isn't the issue for me. What was really hard for me was I have a jump-sport 360 rebounder, and it's very tall. Some of the moves require you to be doing burpies where you thrust your legs ON to the rebounder. I just couldn't do this safely I felt like. A lot of the side jump moves were VERY hard to do safely at the set pace. Also one of the moves has you doing a plank/row. One hand is on the rebounder, while the other hand is lifting weights. This wasn't a huge problem till she had you lifting your opposite leg. My back started freaking out no matter how much I held my core in. This just felt very unsafe. Most things felt a little iffy on the safety front. Just because you have a rebounder doesn't make things safe!!!

I would give this work out a solid D. You could do it a bunch of times so you learned it, turn off the sound, and modify to make it safe and I'm sure it would be fine, but that's what it would take to make it a doable workout.

Instructor Comments:
Amy swears, cues poorly, and doesn't even do half the work outs. I was very disappointed in her. Her non-stop chatter wasn't encouraging or cute. It came off as annoying. I've done other work outs by her, and this is a very different Amy. She seemed unprofessional and frankly not in as good of shape as her background girls.
