The ViPR is a very versatile piece of gym kit designed for weighted movement training. It's formed of a hollow, rubber, cylindrical weight with two handles built into its sides, and ranges from 4kg to 20kg.

The varied weight of the ViPR means that it is a useful resistance training tool for anyone from beginner level upwards, and the diversity of movements possible can provide a challenge for any and all of your muscle groups. 

As with all gym equipment, it's essential you use it properly to avoid injury. Here's our Personal Trainers to tell you how to perform five ViPR exercises correctly.
