ViPR
Training with bite
What is it?
A weighted rubber cylinder that works every muscle in your body from all angles. The weight to train whole muscle groups at the same time, it’s a long and can be anywhere between four and 20kg.
What’s it for?
Building strength and boosting cardio. Burning calories and fat. Working your body in new ways. And pushing every exercise further. That’s why its name stands for vitality, performance and reconditioning.
Who’s it for?
Anyone wanting to burn calories, build strength and add an extra challenge to their workouts. The varying weights mean you can tailor it to your level. And its unique design protects you from injury, too.
What do I do with it?
Anything you like. One of the most versatile pieces of kit out there, you can incorporate it into almost any exercise. Hold it to add weight to squats. Sprint with it to burn calories. Swing it to build your core. Or try these:
The Lunge
- Start with the ViPR standing vertically upright in front of you.
- Tip the ViPR to the right and lunge sideways to catch it with your right hand.
- Tip it back to the left and lunge to catch it with your left hand.
The pull-through
- Get into a plank position with the ViPR lying on the floor underneath your body, just behind your hands.
- Grab the ViPR with your right hand and slide it horizontally to the right of your body.
- Put your right hand back on the floor. Then use your left hand to slide the ViPR back over to the left side of your body.
- Swap hands again and slide the ViPR back over to the right.
