There’s a new piece of workout equipment on the market, and this one is a multitasker.

The ViPR (pronounced "viper") can be used to build strength, increase stamina and improve flexibility. You can throw it, drag it, toss it, lift it or collapse on top of it when you’ve had enough.

The ViPR is available in a range of weights, but if you’re new to this tool your best bet is to stick with the 22-pound ViPR, which can be purchased through viprevolution.com for about $230. (The ViPR is priced according to weight, and they start at 9 pounds for $155, and go up to 44 pounds for $330.)

Once you’ve got a ViPR, try this workout created by Ambre Sheehy, coordinator of fitness programs for the University of Florida, and an instructor of group ViPR classes.

You’ll need a space that’s at least 10-by-10 feet square. The ViPR can be used on a wooden floor or on a mat because it’s made out of rubber and shouldn’t scratch.

Do as many repetitions of each exercise as you can for 40 seconds, and then rest for 20 seconds before starting the next exercise. After you complete all seven exercises, rest for 60 seconds before doing the circuit again.

SNATCH AND THROW

Start standing with the ViPR on the ground in front of your feet. Lower your hips down and back into a squat position, and place your hands on the double grips of the ViPR.

Keeping your core engaged and your back straight, push through your heels to lift the ViPR up the front of your body, and throw it in the air above your head. As soon as you release the ViPR above your head, take a quick, big step forward and let the ViPR fall to the ground behind you. Turn around to face the ViPR and repeat the movement.

REVERSE BEAR CRAWL

Begin bent over on your hands and feet with your hips in the air and knees slightly bent. Place the ViPR on the ground in front of you, extending away from your body.

Grab the closest grip of the ViPR and pull it toward your body so it slides beneath you. Bear crawl backward until the ViPR is just barely within your reach, and then grab the closet grip and pull it back through to the start position. Try to complete this movement quickly.

SKATER

While standing, hold the ViPR with both hands in front of you.

Step to the right, putting all your weight onto your right foot while trailing your left foot behind the right. Bring the left end of the ViPR toward your right foot. Without pausing, press of your standing foot onto the opposite foot, also moving the opposite side of the ViPR to that standing foot. Repeat the movement, with an emphasis on making your motions very wide while keeping your chest lifted and your core tight.

PLANK PULL-THROUGH

Start from a plank position (the "top" of a pushup) with the ViPR on the ground beneath your chest, placed horizontally.

Reach your left hand beneath you and pull the ViPR to the left of your body. Adjust your position left or right so that you can reach your right hand beneath you to pull the ViPR out to the right side of your body. Keep your wrists aligned beneath your shoulders and your core activated.

PULL-THROUGH

Straddle the front end of the ViPR placed lengthwise, lower down into a squat and reach both hands down to grab the top edge of the ViPR (not the handle grip).

Pull the ViPR out in front of you as you stand up so that you throw it onto the ground in front of you. Run forward to the same position and repeat the motion, moving forward as you complete each repetition. Remember to keep your knees behind your toes and your back straight as you squat.

SHUFFLE TILT

Start from a standing position with the ViPR standing on one end in front of you.

Shuffle two steps the side, keeping one hand on the ViPR. Then, lower your hips into a squat, tilting the ViPR toward the ground as you squat. Push ViPR back up to standing and shuffle to complete the move on the opposite side.

VIPR WARRIOR

Lunge forward with your left foot in front of your right. The ViPR should be standing on one end next to your left foot. The bottom of the ViPR should be planted on the ground throughout this move. Only the top should be moving.

With your right hand on the ViPR and your core activated, tilt the ViPR out in front as you hinge at the hips and reach the ViPR forward. Next, tilt the ViPR out to the right side of your body, opening your chest and feeling a stretch in your hip flexor. Then, tilt the ViPR toward the back of your body to challenge your core stability. Repeat on the opposite side.
