AUTHOR’S BIO Michol Dalcourt �In the Autumn issue of <strong>Network</strong>, Michol Dalcourt looked at how the ViPR training system can aid preparation for running events. After the popularity of his sessions at FILEX and the subsequent interest generated in ViPR, Michol returns to explain the evolution of functional, full-body training equipment. INNOVATION There has been a collective shift in the fi tness industry towards studying, viewing, and training the body as a unifi ed whole. It’s a relatively new concept in current training methodology, but has been rapidly adopted for its ability to quickly produce results. Whether you want to lose weight or mitigate stress when training – Whole Body Integration (WBI) is an eff ective way to achieve your goals. There are myriad ways to incorporate WBI into your workouts. Any movement that involves multiple planes and multiple joints is considered integrated. Movement patterns that are integrated are always best performed without equipment fi rst so that correct patterning can be established without excess challenge. With this foundation, weight can be added to the integrated pattern in lots of diff erent ways. The ViPR was developed as a safe and versatile tool to provide eff ective WBI. It has been tested with diff erent WHOLE BODY INTEGRATION WITH ViPR Michol is an educator, author, trainer, inventor and industry leader in the areas of human movement and per formance training. As a personal trainer, he has worked with athletes of all levels, from college pitchers to professional hockey and lacrosse players and Olympic gold medallists. Michol works with trainers and therapists in San Diego, California (USA). levels of fi tness participants, from individuals in need of rehabilitation to elite athletes, for the past four years. As with all products, advancements in understanding and utility off er diff ering perspectives allowing for innovation. This innovation is the genesis of products that have been designed to work within a WBI training philosophy. FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT Based on the concept of freedom of movement, ViPR is challenging how we interact with training tools. ViPR is an acronym for Vitality, Performance, and Reconditioning – three key concepts that could defi ne any exercise program. ViPR was created to allow training and exercise to be more purposeful and free. There needs to be an objective (beyond counting to 12) behind every exercise that you perform and prescribe. Think of daily tasks such as putting shopping away, playing sports, carrying heavy bags – they all have an objective. Many movements and exercises performed in gyms lack concrete objectives and purposes. Performing multiple repetitions of these exercises robs individuals of the opportunity to achieve fi tness for life. Our bodies lift things, shift from place to place, and rotate to achieve optimum performance. Isolation training doesn’t often exist in real life because it’s too ineffi cient and ineff ective – the body and its parts would wear out far too quickly because it is designed to spread forces and stress out into the system, through each joint and tissue. The more eff ectively this is accomplished, the less injury will plague the system. ViPR, with its unique design, off ers one option to accomplish these objectives. EXERCISING WITH THE ViPR Made of rubber and available in seven diff erent weights, the ViPR has an abundance of exercises to challenge any ability level. It can be carried, tilted, dragged, thrown, fl ipped, stepped on and rolled. Each movement has been carefully organised into elements according to the application. If you want to improve strength in functional lifting, then choose a ‘lift series’ of exercises. If you have a desire to improve coordination, then a ‘rolling series’ of exercises will accomplish this goal. The special design enables the ViPR to be used inside and out – with elite athletes and beginners alike – and as an adjunct tool in a training session or by itself. The secret to the eff ectiveness of training with ViPR is that every exercise performed with this tool must be done using WBI. NETWORK WINTER 2010 www.fitnessnetwork.com.au TRAINING 17
