The vipr Shoulder shake (alternating) workout is designed to primarily engage the Obliques.

The vipr, a weighted cylindrical tool, is used to add resistance and challenge the core muscles.

Vipr Shoulder Shake (alternating) Tips

  1. Start by selecting a suitable weight for your vipr Shoulder shake exercise, ensuring it challenges you without compromising your form. Remember, it’s better to start with a lighter weight and gradually increase as you become more comfortable and confident.
  2. Stand with your feet hip-width apart, holding the vipr horizontally in front of your body, with a firm grip. Engage your core muscles by drawing your belly button towards your spine, and maintain a tall posture throughout the exercise.
  3. As you begin the movement, shift your weight to your right foot, allowing your left shoulder to drop slightly. Initiate the shake by forcefully driving your left shoulder up and across your body, while simultaneously pushing your right shoulder down and back.
  4. Feel the powerful contraction in your oblique muscles as they engage to stabilize your torso during the movement. Focus on maintaining control and stability throughout the exercise, avoiding any excessive swinging or jerking motions.
  5. Continue alternating the shoulder shake from side to side, ensuring a smooth and controlled rhythm. Remember to breathe steadily throughout the exercise, inhaling as you prepare for the shake and exhaling as you execute the movement.
