I bought these because I was missing two from my old set of bands and because I love the color green. Below were the main things I looked for when I decided whether or not to keep these (which I did end up keeping). Material quality: On the inner side of the bands have non-slip material so the bands don't roll up when you're using them. I workout in full legging so I can't comment on how they feel with shorts but my friend wears shorts and hasn't had any issues using these. It feels durable and thick, though, compared to my old ones, they are not as thick/strong. I didn't find this to be a negative because I can get in more quality reps when using the med-level band. Specifically, I get a better range of motion when using these in my workouts (ie full abduction/clam shell/etc) and it's easier to maintain proper form. Durability: TBD I will update in 6 months. So far they are holding up with me & my friend using them to warm up for every workout (4-5x a week). Resistance strength: There are three levels of resistance, the colors corresponding to each level of strength. Light green = light resistance, green = medium resistance, dark green = heavier resistance. I have tried several different bands and these were perfect for me. Would I recommend: Yes! These are great for beginners and those at intermediate level. The higher-level (darkest color) band has a good level of resistance for those at the intermediate and more advanced. But if you're already at the more advanced level, I suggest looking for thicker bands. Read more
There are great quality and they look and feel great! I was using the “rubber” type before I went to these. I got tired of replacing the rubber ones and after one popped off my legs just as I started my exercise I changed to these. Well worth it! Read more
After hurting my back and completing my physical therapy, I decided to buy these bands to continue strengthening my core at home. I really like how well made these bands are and that each of the 3 bands are of a different tension. I learned in physical therapy that it is best to begin at a lower level of tension and increase intensity and sets of repetitions as my core strengthens over time. I use these bands above the knee, lay on my back with my knees bent and move my knees to wide and hold them for 5 seconds for 3 sets of 20 after completing an different exercise in the same position accept I use a 7 inch ball and squeeze my knew together for the same amount of sets and duration. I also use these bands around my ankles in a standing position completing 3 sets of side stepping 10 times in each direction being careful to lift my feet while stepping each way. The flat and comfortable material these sturdy bands are made of are much easier of the skin than the rounded plastic ones provided while I was in therapy. I recommend this product to family, friends, and others looking for a safe way to strengthen your core with varying degrees of tension. Enjoy! Read more
This was recommended to me by my physical therapist. Think I was using these at the therapy place too? Works great for streaming the mussles around the knee. Now I'm able to go on my 8 mile total hikes in the woods no problem! Thank you. Plan on using these on regular basis. Read more
This is beginning to help me in my physical therapy classes I’m going to for my back and leg problems. They come in a three pack. All different resistant strengths. It’s a lot better than the rubber bands PT gives you to wear and they roll up around your legs. These seem to stay right where you put them on. I recommend them. Read more
These are high quality bands! My physical therapist actually recommended them and glad I listened. Beautiful color, perfectly packaged and comfortable for thick thighs/legs, strong grip, no pinching or sliding. It'll be awhile before I graduate to the "heavy" band as its a beast 💪😂 Read more
I purchased these for myself and have been really happy with them. The fabric is comfortable and sturdy, and they don’t roll or slide during workouts, which makes a big difference. They’ve been a great addition to my routine and work well for a variety of exercises. They feel well made and durable, and I use them often. Overall, I’m very pleased with this purchase. Read more
I've had these for months and they have yet to show stretching or wear. Use them for workouts at least 5 days a week. Holding up so well. I have bought other brands that have stretched after a couple of months,but these are still in tact. Read more
