SPRI Braided Xertube Resistance Bands – Premium Exercise Band for Men & Women – Workout Equipment for Home Gym Fitness Training – Comfort Grip for Strength, Weights, and Resistance

Great band

The best resistance bands….JMO.

This a must have item if your a fitness person who is on the move traveling. I take this item with me on every business and personal travel as well as at home. I use it for pre work out stretching. Very durable reliable and well built. made in the USA.

I chose 4 stars because the heavy resistance band works as a resistance band should. I've performed exercises for various muscles with this such as bicep curls, shoulder raise and press, wrist curls, chest press and flys, back rows, quadricep extensions, squats, and tricep extensions (for the back/chest/tricep/quad exercises I did use a BodyLastics door strap in conjunction with this band). I've worked up a great sweat using this band. I'm taking one star off because the handles could be a bit sturdier. But don't get me wrong, the plastic on them is THICK and I don't see the band coming undone.. ever. It's called taking care of your product, the 1 star poster complaining about the handles breaking when he let them slam into the wall must be a lunkhead.This band will get you toned... work out 30-40 minutes a day. The casual exerciser may perform 10-20 reps, 30 second rest between each set... 3-4 times a week. You will see a difference.

These are fantastic for doing a pretty good and well rounded workout routine at home! Something to keep in mind also is that resistance bands differ from weights in a fundamental way since your muscles hold more tension at maximum extension; I feel that this gives me smoother movement and better form.I'm probably about as strong as the average desk worker who doesn't spend a ton of time in the gym, but does have some active hobbies. And I'm 5'6" tall. With that in mind, I think the blue band gives me a good amount of resistance with room on both sides - to make things harder or easier by controlling the slack. If you are about the same strength level but much taller, you might consider a lighter band and use the same logic for other scenarios.As for these specific bands, they are good to look at and seem to be built well and with high quality materials. The only con is that the first few times they WILL make your hands smell like rubber...faintly. Nothing that a quick wash won't remove.

Excellent for resistance exercises. Good quality and seems to be very durable.

Good stretch band for my needs.

Easy to use and good quality. I use as an alternative to dumbbells sometimes for variety, and it provides a very good amount of resistance that I can feel.
