MhIL 5 Resistance Bands for Working Out

My top choice of the 7 tried

I'm someone who struggled to decide which resistance bands to try out, and have even purchased 7 different types. After all, there are seemingly hundreds available, but I can assure you that these are one of the better choices. The set comes in a relatively large strap backpack thing. Truly, it's not that big, but it seems designed to be the one thing you bring to the gym. I bring a true backpack when I workout, so the extra bag is a touch cumbersome. Nonetheless, it's not a detraction from the product. Five color choices with the lighter ones being pastels and the heavier ones being black and gray. I do wonder if there's a little sexism going on with their color choices? The material is thick and seems well-stitched and the grip on the interior has been perfect: No slippage, yet no pinching either. Resistance choices are what I truly wanted, although technically the lighter ones don't interest me as much. I've been using the medium one most and it's perfect for the adductor/abductor work that I do. The heavy and extra heavy are definitely labeled correctly, with the latter being a strain to move. Overall, I'm pleased with the product and didn't need nor receive any compensation to provide this feedback. If you've read all the way to the bottom, I feel your pain in deciding as there's way TOO MANY of these products, but do know these will probably be the ones you want

Best resistance bands I've ever tried

I've been using the rubber resistance bands for physical therapy but they averaged about two months of use before they snapped. I read reviews on other brands about issues with stretching, but I decided to try these anyway, and I'm so happy I did because they're awesome. I've only had them a few weeks so I will update if there is any change but the bands stretch just fine and also go back into shape without a problem. Unlike the rubber bands these stay in place and don't roll or pinch. The ONLY critique I could give is that, because they don't stretch as far as the rubber bands, they don't work as well for exercises where you need a large range of motion to get the full benefit. Other than that minor issue which probably won't apply to most people, these are the BEST resistance bands. 10/2021 UPDATE! So my bands did stretch a little out of shape, but this was over a LOT of sessions & I work them harder than most people. I contacted the company to replace just the one that stretched too much to be used, and they are TRUE TO THEIR WARRANTY, in fact, they sent me a whole new set. Customer service was fantastic - got back to me right away and sent me new set within a few days. Seriously, if you're looking for bands these are the ones you want. And for anyone looking to grow a booty - these really do the job with the right exercises. I got these bands as part of my physical therapy to straighten my spine and be able to walk again, but my spine progress pictures also caught that my booty grew. That was without trying, so I'm sure with focus you could get a bigger peach

You Won't Be Chasing These Up And Down Your Thighs

I just started doing resistance band training. So I had bought a rubber set at a local retailer just to see if it would work and if I would like it. Well I love this form of training. So I looked on Amazon for a better set. And found these. They are very similar to the set one of my favorite YT fitness channels uses. They stay up and won't migrate down. They don't roll up your thighs as you work. And they have a wide range of sizes. I was using the heaviest rubber band. And now with these I'm beginning with light and it's really giving my legs a workout. Buy these you won't be disappointed. They come in a nice mesh bag if you want to travel with them

Better for legs

I've changed this review at the seller's request. They were too aggressive, reaching out 3x on the weekend to get me to change my review. They asked for help because they are a "small family business". With that in mind, I've changed my review to a 3 from a 2 with the following considerations: The bands look great for legs. They are well-made and durable. For arms, they will have limited applications based on small range of motion, but will be useful within that shorter ROM. On the other hand, they are not likely to snap in the middle of a workout, which has happened with rubber-only

High quality

This product exceeded my expectations by a long shot. Very high quality. Completely worth the price. Im very happy! The resistance is woven into the fabric (as opposed to each resistance band being made tighter by simply making it shorter). These bands are all pretty much the same length. See photos. There was a defect in the grey 'heavy' band that I recieved. You can see in the photo that it is curved. I doubt this will affect how it performs very much though, so I am not factoring that into my overall score for the product. These bands progress nicely from extra light to extra heavy. The extra light is perfect for someone just starting out with adding a resistance band to their leg work. It's got enough resistance that you can feel it but not so much that it's too hard. The extra heavy band is VERY tight

Exactly what I needed

Not sure if this pertains to anyone else but - I HATE EXERCISING! I have a very physically demanding job and the last thing I want to do when I get home is exercise. 1. I'm tired and just want to sit down. 2. If I get on the floor I know I'm not getting back up. 3. My treadmill is busy being a cloths rack. Unfortunately after 10 years of doing the same demanding routine, my body is immune to the motions and won't tone up like I would hope. I should have legs of steel from all the stairs I do in a day but sadly they are not. I wanted to find a way to exercise without really knowing I was exercising - all while sitting on my couch. Yeah, that might sound lazy, I don't care. Saw these bands on the deal of the day and wanted to try them. I'm very impressed! Nice material, they stay in place, love the different resistance AND I can do leg exercises while on my couch! Reading or watching TV also helps me forget that I'm exercising so that's a giant plus. Really glad I tried these out

Huge and smells weird but good quality and customer service

Updating from 2 stars because customer service reached out to see how they could make things right. Pay very careful attention to the dimensions. These bands are not for small, fit women. I have to double loop them in order to get any sort of resistance through a meaningful range of motion. Otherwise you have to keep your legs really wide apart. Gave them to my plus sized friend who is out of shape and she loves them

Great workout for legs, arms not so much

I really like the various options, that they came in a bag and that they were individually wrapped when I unpacked it. The fabric on the bands feels good and doesn't pinch my skin. Going from the elastic bands to the fabric ones was a jump because I went from a heavy elastic band to a light fabric band due to the tightness. You will really get a work out. I found that they truly are meant for legs and glutes and not arms. I may have to try the extra light and see if it makes a difference. I had to switch to elastic during my routine thought so that I could get a little more stretch for my arms, what a difference!

Comfortable and secure, great for PT

My PT office recommended these bands. They secure with velcro and hold very well. They are more comfortable than the elastic bands you typically see in PT. I took off a star because my butt has yet to achieve the bedonk a donk level shown in the picture for this item
