Fantastic Investment!
I started a little early with my New Year's resolutions and purchased the BMP 5-Band Set. I used to bench press 350 lbs and squat over 500 lbs in college but rotator cuff injuries took a lot of strength from my shoulders/chest and my knees are pretty shot. My 9-year old son also started agility training this year and he can do every exercise they do with the "lighter" bands. Resistance bands are a HUGE improvement over dumbells and free weights in cost, convenience and portability. You would spend hundreds of dollars on the equipment it takes to replicate the things you can do with these bands. And they are completely portable - unlike weights (even water dumbells). The 5 bands and the door mount fit into a bag for easy storage and could be tossed into luggage for a trip. I personally envision taking 2 bands and the door stop on business trips and it could go in my briefcase or luggage. As resistance bands go, I definitely like the fact that every band in this set has a set of handles. That saves a lot of changeover time between exercises. It even lets my son and I do the same exercises together. The bands and handles are very sturdy and well-made. I combine the two "strongest" bands for some of the exersizes and the door mount has no problem holding two of them in-place. This set of bands does not have foot/ankle straps but there are numerous exercises you can do to hit all the major muscle groups in your legs/hips. This set also does not come with a DVD. There is a simple list of 8-10 exercises that ship with the set. However, 20 minutes of searching on the Internet yielded dozens of resistance band exercises to do. I HIGHLY recommend this product. There are not many products that my son and I can use together but this one DEFINITELY is! Read more
