Rubberbanditz Resistance Band Kit in a Bag, Choose from 3 Exercise Band Sets, 5-200 pounds – for Mobility, Stretching, Pilates, Home Fitness Bands, Travel Workouts, Pull Ups, Powerlifting & Crossfit

These were my first experience with resistance bands, and I was positively surprised. Got them for a month-long trip with no gym access, and found them good for doing arms, shoulders and chest (not so much abs, legs and lower back). I'm a guy and lift reasonably at the gym.. a plastic tube inside a handle broke when doing chest. The handle still works, but that costs some stars.. this is after all not the cheapest kit out there. I found the complete kit necessary for the various exercises. Furthermore, I think these loop-like bands are better than the tube-like ones, since these can be simply attached in double loop(?) for more resistance/shorter movement.

This is really a nice kit. I travel several times per year and although I will regularly go use the hotel gym, sometimes the gyms are inadequate or if I'm visiting family, they won't have any gym at all! The kit comes with pretty much everything you need to get a full-body workout. There are so many resistance bands out there and frankly I can't tell the difference between them other than being surgical tubing, the "thin" band style and the "thick" band style. These are the thick band style and feel very durable and well made. The bands have no discernable odor at all.The kit comes with four bands as pictured. It packs down very small and is surprisingly light weight. There are smaller kits with two and three of the lighter bands. I do lat pull downs with the black band pulled through the door anchor with the handles attached. I tried the purple and can't pull it which is why I went with the bigger kit: to have a heavier band to grow into. I haven't tried a squat movement yet and likely that is where the purple one will come into play for me.The door anchor feels extremely secure. The d-handles and carabiners are adequate. The d-handles flex slightly under a heavy load but very little and nothing to be concerned about.I have read the book, which is quite good with a lot of exercises and routines for all parts of your body. I haven't watched the DVD but instead have just looked on youtube.com for videos put out by Rubberbanditz and others.I really am surprised at the versatility of the bands compared to dumbbells. Since the resistance is variable, the easier part is at the beginning of the movement and the hardest part is at the end, usually enforcing where you are targeting allowing you to get full range of motion and quite possibly a better workout without injury. Plus you can pull two or more bands at once to refine how much resistance you want and its super easy to do a drop-set just by letting go of one of the bands.

I love to work out with the bands because I don't have to go to a gym to work out and it opens up my workout available time so I!m not narrowed to one schedualed time. My deluxe kit advertised a manual included but I only got a note to download an e-book which I couldn't do on my I pad. A manual is defined as a physical instruction book. The website is confusing in that they do not apply the kiss principal . They expose you to every conceivable innovative use of the straps which only opens the novice to question and adds to their confusion. The bag is the first impression of low quality you see first when getting your kit. The door attachment has a plastic guard which always seems to slide to the side leaving the band surface resting on the webbed strap. I had to order the exercise book by Karl Knopf which gives progressive strength exercises, rehabilitation, sports, diabetes programs. The Dr. emphasizes working larger muscles first and lists his exercises as he states with that order of performance. The good thing is if I had gotten a physical manual I probably would not have found the best instruction book. It just is somewhat disappointing that a deluxe kit is associated more with innovative uses and sales but ignores little glitches in its product that subtracts from being the best. My complaint to Amazon about the manual must have been eradicated to nothing. Silence is not always golden.

I have the orange through the blue band and feel that give a good range for most exercises. I haven't used the attachment handles - I just wrap around a post in the basement or the pull up bar. I have used these constantly over the past few months and everything seems to be holding up well. No complaints.

I'm recovering from surgery, so I needed a lighter way to isolate and work my muscles. I looked around for high quality bands that will stand the test of time, and I'm really happy with them so far. I'm also a personal trainer, and will be utilizing these with clients over the coming weeks.

I love how these work and handles are great....unfortunately the lightest band which is used the most is breaking in several places and about to snap. Im not spending $50 again to get the one band I need. looking for another option. For reference, i have had them since July - 10 months and use bands on my off days I am not lifting weights about 3 times a week.

I'm changing to 5 stars from previous review. Amazon quickly fixed the problem. I love these bands. I've been using them pretty much every day since my purchase, and they're extremely sturdy, and versatile. Love the handle as well.

Great item, as described.These are the best rubber exercise bands I have ever used.

Works!

The whole set is very high quality and really worth the price and the wait. The DVD is very helpful and a good start. I recon that is perfect set for shoulder rehab exercises and this is what I am using it for
