The ViPR training tool combines the boxing stick with dumbbells, working new muscles through multiple planes of motion. Usually, there is an inverse relationship between the jazziness of a product’s name and its usefulness. Take the example of the dumbbell: an incredibly effective and versatile tool whose name is almost self-deprecating.
The ViPR, on the other hand, has a name that combines a venomous snake with a complete disregard for grammar. So it’s a surprise to find that these weighted rubber cylinders, with one grip on one side and two grips on the other, are a fantastic addition to your workout.
What’s most appealing regarding the ViPR is its ability to recruit multiple muscle groups and get you moving through multiple planes of motion. The result is a massive release of growth hormones, a great calorie burn, and a way of moving that will stimulate your nervous system.
You can use the ViPR to achieve different fitness goals. Moving a weight of more than 10 kg in large multi-joint movements will stimulate a massive growth hormone response. Performing back-to-back multiplanar movements in a circuit burns calories.
Use the three workouts featured in the following sections and you’ll see that ViPR is more than just its name.
