 Non-Adaptable & Cheap August 27, 2010
D. Sullivan (Southampton, MA)
Bought some of these bands last year. I found them very limiting in what exercises you can do with them and the amount of resistance you can apply. Definately not trying to turn anyone of from resistance bands. Resistance bands are excellent products for all types of exercise. I actually use them for body building, but they can be used for toning, strength training, aerobics and pilates, not to mention rehibilitation. Many gyms are incooperating them into their training regimens. But they're not using these, that's for sure. I have since bought a far superior product with excellent workout resources to go along with it. But don't just take my word for it. I suggest you check out a site called [...]. They have several daily LIVE exercise programs using bands made by Bodylastics. Just check it out and pick a program to watch. You can sign up for free and read what the members have to say. The adaptability of Bodylastics is second to none. Check it out before you buy anything.
 A good additional tool, but it's no dumbbell August 20, 2010

These bands are great additional tools for home gyms or even commercial gyms. I loop them over the pull up bar to use them as cable machine type of workout. But it doesn't have the constant resistance like the dumbbells or weights have. Use biceps curl as an example, when you pick up a 40lbs dumbbell from the rack. It gives you that 40 lbs resistance at the moment it lift off the rack, and continues to do so in any position of the exercise. VS these resistance bands have virtually no resistance at the starting position of biceps curl exercise. Its resistance increases as you raise the forearm and decreases as you lower the forearm back to the starting position. You don't get the constant resistance as the weights give you. So if you're serious about body building, then weights/dumbbells are a must and probably are more effective than these bands.
Lastly, yes they are not heavy. I use 30-35 lbs dumbbell (in each hand) for biceps curl, it takes two purple bands to get close to that resistance; but not a constant resistance. So I'm going back to dumbbells for most of weight lifting workouts.
 Works. But It Will Tear Up Your Hands August 11, 2010
Dan Ryno (Florissant, MO United States)
I bought the heavy resistance bands, and they can give you a good workout. However, the picture shows that the tube attaches to the handle portion directly in the middle. This is not the case. With mine, the tube attaches off-center, causing an awkward grip. This causes your hands to rub on the fabric portion of the handle, at times rubbing them raw. I have several blisters and "burn marks" from this. Even wearing workout gloves doesn't totally solve this problem. Be wary of this.
 Bands are dangerous August 5, 2010
Larry Rocco
I had them for one year.
The strap broke when doing a curl, my fist hit my lip, leaving a at lip.
Funny, but dangerous, it could have been my throat.
Does the job August 2, 2010
Crystal (Michigan)
It's fine. Does the job, but the handles hurt my hands. There is no cushion, it's just plastic.
