THIS ISSUE'S CHALLENGE: ViPR 90 Gavin says: “I’ve designed this challenge for regular use with clients. It provides a full-body workout and really gets the heart rate up, so as this circuit goes on you will become fatigued. Remember to keep good technique when performing these exercises!”
EQUIPMENT NEEDED: ViPR (10kg USED IN THIS CHALLENGE) REPETITIONS Ten of each exercise to complete a circuit. Complete three circuits in total.

SQUAT THREAD THE NEEDLE It is vital that the back remains tall and that you hinge at the hips as you drive ViPR up and down – take note of ViPR loading through the legs and then coming straight up. Then rotate ViPR and perform with the opposite arm.

3 ICE SKATERS
Begin with ViPR in front of the hips and maintain a straight back to ensure that the hips are properly loaded. Step laterally to the ground and plant feet firmly down; then, with the opposite hand, reach across the body at knee height. Decelerate through the hips and push off to start position. Move to the other side by stepping with the opposite foot laterally and repeating the step.
