VRT is such an adaptable exercise that it can be done virtually anywhere, anytime, and in any place. Take for example waiting at a bus stop. One could do a standing VRT-style bench press, or VRT dumbbell curls, a VRT tricep press, a VRT military press, or VRT squats. Without moving from your spot. While no one is looking, of course.
The various places and situations where these could be performed is limitless; strolling through a supermarket, for instance, one could perform one-armed curls while pushing the cart with the other arm; stopping to look at the meat while doing squats; doing imaginary one-armed pull-ups while heading down the frozen pizza section; doing imaginary dead-lifts while opening the ice cream freezer door, and other various situations.
Really, just as the imagination allows you to do any one of various exercises, so too are the situations that one can do them in offer an endless number of times and places to do it in. No gym is needed. No special place is needed. It can be done throughout anyone's day.

VRT System Keeps Joints Rejuvenated
The system of visualized resistance does a great deal to spare the synovial membranes of the human body. Those membranes are in every movable joint of the human body from the knuckle joints, toe joints, and elbows to the spinal column and neck.
The act of lifting weights, whether dumbbells, barbells, or the plates of a universal machine, compress the synovial membrane and can cause an early and arthritic deterioration of the membrane. Visualized Resistance Training [VRT] can create vasocongestion of the particular muscle group and create an increase in skeletomuscular size and strength, but completely spare the synovial membrane from the gravitational compression that will create "busted up weightlifter's syndrome".
Advocates of VRT never complain of joint problems the way that life-long advocates of weight training do. The spinal column especially does not show any problems related to disc compression [the name given the synovial membranes in the spinal column] or heniated ["slipped"] discs. The suggestion is to try VRT to avoid joint problems of any kind, yet increase strength, speed, and coordination.
