ViPR from FitPro: the 'Swiss Army knife' of core training

FitPro's ViPR is essentially a heavy-duty rubber tube with various hand grips that comes in seven weights from 4-20kg. It provides a full body workout, building muscle and burning calories through strength and movement training as users lift, drag, throw and step on the tube.

ViPR can be used to perform literally thousands of different exercises thanks to its adaptability: it mimics the utility of seven different pieces of equipment, including a number of core training tools – the barbell, dumbbell, kettlebell, stability ball, medicine ball, balance device and speed ladder.

"The 'Swiss Army knife' programming potential of the tool is exploited in 9,000 currently developed exercises which are equally adaptable for beginners or elite users," said ViPR's inventor Michol Dalcourt.
