2.0 out of 5 stars Started great but beginning to disappoint, November 9, 2011

I bought these bands to use with Tony Horton's 10-Minute Trainer. For the most part these are great until you have to do a military press or an overhead tricep curl. These exercises require you to stand on the middle of the band and push all the way up until your arms are fully extended. For these exercises, the bands are too short for me and I worry how long they'll last if I keep stretching them that far. I'm 6'0" tall, so someone shorter might not have any problem. If you're 6' or taller, I would find something longer because these will disappoint. The B-Line bands used by Tony Horton for P90x and his other videos appear to be roughly twice as long as these.

These are good quality bands though. The grommets are strong and the clips are metal and thus, less prone to breaking. The door attachment and ankle accessory work fine. The "instruction manual" is a little sparse and simplistic but you can't expect too much there. Suspiciously, I noticed that none of the exercises show the bands being lifted any higher than shoulder length.

EDIT: I increased my review to a 4 star after using the bands a while longer and speaking to their customer service. I also got a free orange band for my call. According to customer service the bands can actually stretch safely up to 5 times their original size (their max stretch is about 40 ft. although this makes them unusable). After 3 weeks of overhead use they still show no signs of wear or tear.

EDIT: Still on the fence about these. After 6 weeks of use I had to get the red band replaced after seeing several tears appear. Now I'm seeing tears in the black band and one tear in the new red band already. As far as I know I'm not using them inappropriately but I may have to go ahead and return the whole set.

There's a lot of good reasons to choose resistance bands to exercise...

-good for home workouts
-great for traveling (some gyms in hotels are just pitiful); these are very portable
-great to use with exercise videos (a lot of ex. DVD's have you use bands)

What will they do for you?

-tone your muscles
-help you burn a few calories
-make your muscles stronger
-make your bones more dense

Why choose these particular ones?

-they're pretty sturdy
-come with a door attachment
-exercise charts included
-most find the handles comfortable
-offer different bands with varying levels of difficulty
-reasonably priced

Disadvantages?

-if you look like the incredible Hulk, you're probably not going to get enough of a workout
-some might find them hard to work with
-some might not like the "feel" of them as they do an exercise

All-in-all they're a great exercise tool to use to help you get in shape, prevent injuries, or even rehabilitate one (you see these in physical therapy clinics a lot). And don't forget, once you get comfortable using a given color, move up to the next harder band if you want to keep getting stronger. Also recommend Treat Your Own Tennis Elbow if tennis elbow is interfering with your workouts.

I am new to using resistance bands so take this to mind in understanding that I was not quite sure on how exactly to use the door anchor and ankle band. Sure it has a paragraph explanation but I really just needed more to make sure I was doing it correctly. Wish also that they illustrated more than just 6 ways to use the bands, a nice wall chart demonstrating a few more with a bit more detail would have been worked nicely.

The resistance bands themselves are very sturdy, they look to be extremely well made so that I am not fearful of them breaking or coming apart. Overall a lot nicer set than I expected.
