"Staying fit is a top-of-mind priority for me, and I'm pumped to co-host the 'UFL World Cup,'" said Mario Lopez.

Originating in Brooklyn, New York, "urban fitness" is a lifestyle revolution that is taking the world by storm. The concept of urban fitness developed in public parks, playgrounds and outdoor gyms and has developed into a unique "The World is our Gym" mentality. The movement has grown globally with teams in China, Brazil, Spain, Australia, Germany and Russia as well as televised events in Europe on EuroSport.
