The circumference of these is HUGE! I normally use the “heavy” black band in my photo. These bands are all the same circumference and I can't get a good workout in with them because even though the cloth band part is awesome and doesn't twist like rubber resistance bands, I can't keep them on my thighs without standing really wide. Sending back and hoping to find smaller ones
Read More...Elastic loops tend to roll up and cut into you, these bands don't. I saw Linda Wooldridge from Barlates talk about them on her YouTube channel and decided to try them out. Shipping and delivery was really quick and the bands are packaged nicely. I have completed Cathe Friedrich's LITE Body Weight and Bands and Fit Tower Boot Camp workouts using the grey loop, least resistance. It was a bit more resistance than the elastic loop I had been using but worked well. I used the medium resistance loop on a Pilates Reformer Jump Board workout and that worked well too. If you are fed up with constantly having to pause your workouts to unroll your elastic loops or endure the pain as they cut into you, then I recommend giving these loops a try
Read More...The product is made of quality material, and fits great! Especially for the price of the 3 pack as compared to other places I've seen. I'm about 200 lbs and was worried they wouldn't fit around my thunder thighs lol (they bring the lightning). The bands fit great! Id even dare to say they would fit people bigger than 200 lbs! There is a little 5 day guide on how to do some work outs too! Also, there's this girl on youtub named Chloe Ting of anyone's interested. i don't have anything bad to say about the product at all! Extremely satisfied
Read More...These are awesome, and I have GIANT thighs. They dont roll, budge, or slip. I started using thera-bands as part of my physical therapy for an ACL and MCL replacement. Then, I kept using them in all the hip, cool ways that are so popular right now. But, they would roll and pinch and hurt so badly. Then, I bought these. They are amazing! They don't hurt at all. They fit over my huge thighs (it's where I carry all my weight). My one critique, even the medium is stiffer than the xx-heavy on my TKO rubber bands, but it's so worth it. I use the rubber ones on my arms, and these are great for my legs
Read More...I have been using this for a couple of weeks and it has been fantastic to say the least! It doesn't roll down or move whilst I'm exercising and the resistance it provides is amazing! After the first day of exercising with it, I felt the difference. Now I and those close to me are seeing the results. My thighs, hips and butt have definitely improved in tone and definition. My abs have also improved but not as much since I haven't been doing any exercises to target them! Oh and I forgot to mention that they came with an exercise guide which also helps for beginners or to boost your routine! They are durable and will last a long while! They are a vast improvement to the latex bands. I will recommend these to anyone who is serious about working out! Update: March 2023 I have been using these bands for more than three years and they are the truth! They have retained their elasticity and are still providing me with an amazing workout! I have gotten my monies worth ten times over! I will definitely be getting another set when these are no longer serving their purpose, and that won't be anytime soon! Best purchase ever
Read More...I've had these bands for about a month and been using them about twice a week. They're good quality and way better than the rubber band I was using before. I had debated between a few other brands such as Recredo, but decided on this due to the price and and no need for video/ebook etc. They are a decent alternative for me using squat racks and other heavy equipment which have caused problems due to muscle issues. THEY DO SLIDE UP and this is a little annoying for exercises that involve stepping side to side or anything that would cause the band to push up, like lunges. So I do have to readjust them back closer to my knees because they will slide up my thighs if I don't. The grey and pink are the ones I use most, the turquoise one is tough so I haven't used that one as much yet but something I'll likely have to work towards. The grey is a lighter resistance however given that it's a low resistance I wish the band was slightly smaller in circumference because it's wide for me. The fact that all 3 bands are the same width means that sometimes I don't get the full extent of a workout. I have to stand at least shoulder width apart for the band to lay stretched across my thighs. Closer than that the band would fall down my legs. For reference I am 5'3” 120 lbs. Overall I think they're decent so far but I would consider the sliding issue if you're thinking about these
Read More...I am a yoga instructor and I purchased these to incorporate resistance into squatting poses for strength. They are great quality and they keep alignment on point and add just the right amount of challenge and the options are endless when adding these to standing poses. These also encourage correct muscle engagement for beginners
Read More...4 stars because they really are a bit wide. I'm not a tiny person, and if I don't keep a wide hip position, they'll slide down. I'm also a little worried that they'll stretch out even wider; they did seem to loosen a bit on the first use, but maybe it's just breaking them in. However, they are impressively strong! I could barely stretch the light band with my arms when I pulled them out of the bag, and the strong one not at all! I was using an extra heavy plus a heavy in the rubber kind, and with these, the medium is stronger than that. They don't roll!! I was so frustrated with the rubber kind rolling up and moving around. They seem very sturdy and well constructed. And the colors are lovely. Overall a thumbs up
Read More...Smells funny kinda like cheap rubber. However it does seem to be very durable. Good resistance too Update I had to do a DIY on the bands are not labeled so I used a sharpie to mark the three resistances
Read More...Need a little bit more elasticity. I can barely move when I put them across my thighs. Since there is not really much movement I do not get a resistance workout at all
