ViPR Workout
Ready for a new workout? Try ViPR -- which stands for Vitality Performance and Reconditioning.
Personal trainers Derith Cass and Tony Cortez say it's all about a cylinder made out of a thick rubber. It comes in seven different weights and it's a functional training tool.

"Functional movement" simply means movement and exercise that's geared toward mimicking the movements you do every day.
So, how does it work? Here are a few exercises:
Thread the Needle
- Pass the ViPR between your legs
- Do a little squat
- Bring the ViPR overhead
- turn the ViPR above the head and rotate it down between your legs again
- Grab the ViPR with a neutral grip, palms facing each other
- Step side to side, tapping the other foot behind
- Bring the ViPR along with you
- Imagine a speed skater, low in your legs but your chest is lifted
- Put the ViPR right in front of you
- Hold it near the top
- Sit in a squat position
- Stand up and catch the ViPR
