This is a simple product- strips of latex of varying resistances. I've personally used the green to rehab my rotator cuff, but with a little creativity, you can exercise just about any muscle group with this stuff. I'd suggest getting the yellow and red, and then seeing where you're at- the green is getting up there, and the blue is pretty darn tough to do.

Get more than one color if you can afford it, because sooner or later, the color you are using will get too easy for you and you'll want to move up to a stronger band to keep getting stronger. Also recommend Treat Your Own Tennis Elbow if you suffer from tennis elbow.

Use these bands with the proper accesories and they make a wonderful exercise tool. With the handle accesories you can adjust the resistance by adjusting their length and how many bands you attach.

TheraBands have a long history of use in recovery from various joint surgeries or pinched nerves, and are especially useful in slowing osteoporosis. They avoid the danger of sudden shifting weight that can occur with hand held weights. The tension is steady and adjustable through use of color coded strenghts. They are perfect for home use and travel because they take up so little space and they won't hold you up in the security check-in line!

The weakest band ripped on the first day of using it. The others seem more durable, though. Two and a half stars.

My hunched deskbound shoulders lately have been going into spasm. Quickly I needed light exercise to reduce pain and restore motion. This 3-set of Therabands is an economical way to get some light weight mmoves into the daily routine--even 5 minutes will help. The bands are also helpful for strapping an icepack to my shoulder afterwards! They take up hardly any space and are easy to get out and use.

I also purchased a book, "Strength Band Training," by Page and Ellenbecker, to figure out which moves I needed. It doesn't have to be rocket science or a monumental effort to do your body good. Home gym is the best. Do a little every day.

I thought I was sunk when my cat jumped up and broke the green band I got from physical therapy. It was the start of a holiday and I did not want to go back for another. Luckly I found these on Amazon. The origianal had theraband printed on it and so did these. Great find. John

These are nice bands but I agree with others that, for me, they are too weak. If you are getting these for recovery rehab or are looking for really light resistance, you should be really happy with these bands. But if you are someone who is looking for strong resistance, these bands are going to be too weak. I got them because it said if you are looking for a challenge you have the red band and for an even greater challenge you have the green band...but even the green one is just too weak for me and not a challenge at all.

straight forward - what I ordered is exactly what I received and they worked as expected.

It is what I was looking for. It allows exercise yourself, and you can choose among a lot of exercises.

the bands were sent in a timely fashion and were exactly as advertised. Great folks to work with. Now if they could sell me some motivation to use them daily...I'd sure buy that too!
