Fitness Friday – The VIPR!
Bored of the same old free weights? Are you struggling with the same old gym routine? Well this week for our Fitness Friday feature we want to tell you all about VIPR.
Right so what’s VIPR all about?
VIPR stands for vitality, performance and reconditioning. The tool itself is a long rubber tube with varied grips, which makes it amazingly fun and versatile. The tube itself is approximately one meter long and has a verity of weight from 4kg to 20kg. (LadyM uses a 6kg but she’s working her way up!)
Why does it work?
Loaded movement training with VIPR effectively challenges and conditions muscle, nerves, skin and many more of the systems of the body. Using this loading system will dramatically improve balance, agility, aid weight management, tone and much more!! (Plus it’s a giggle, a fun way to work out with some rubber tubing!)
The workouts never get dull as it can be used in so many different ways, there are thousands of moves!
Can anyone do VIPR?
Yes all walks of life can try VIPR. All movements and training with the VIPR can be regressed and progressed to suit the individual or group.
Where did VIPR come from?
This system was invented by Michol Dalcourt who is a master of human movement and has trained Olympic athletes. The whole concept originates from a farming background where the whole body strength is vital.
Where can I try VIPR?
Many gyms now have instructors qualified in the use of the VIPR system so check out your local gym, or check out www.viprfit.com to find out more!
