But, do you need to be really fit in order to do it? The answer is no. Kunal Sharma, India's first certified ViPR trainer tells us, 'ViPR is safe for everyone. However, a person should know how to use it otherwise they may injure themselves. It can be dangerous for beginners, without proper instructions.' Talking about the cost and its availability in India, Sharma said, 'ViPR is not available in India. Also, it's very expensive. A 4 kg ViPR costs around 8 to 10 thousand rupees.'

We hope it soon becomes available in India. In the meanwhile, you can try fitness regimes like P90X and The Scientific Seven Minute Workout.
