Product Description

Size: Red - Strength Medium

The only resistive exercise bands endorsed by the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA). Ideal for building upper and lower body strength for rehabilitation or fitness. Whether building strength after shoulder or knee surgery or improving athletic performance, our bands, tubing and corresponding resistance exercise programs can be easily and economically used for any exercise program. The progressive resistance of our products parallels the basic concepts of building strength and mobility. As each level is mastered, the resistance can be increased with ability. In general, tan and yellow are used for early rehabilitation or very frail individuals. The most common resistances are red, green & blue. Black, silver and gold are typically used by athletes. The use of elastic resistance rather than weight-bearing exercises minimizes pressure on the joints and decreases the possibility of incurring other injuries. They can be used while traveling, sitting at home or even in the office. Uses for the Thera-Band Bands include: exercise, gym, balance, fitness, birthing, yoga, pilates, and stability and resistance.

3.0 out of 5 stars Kind of weak, February 24, 2006

The 'heavy' and 'medium' bands didn't live up to their labeled strength. If you are using these bands to build muscle, I recommend buying heavier bands. They are great for light stretching and light resistence training. I bought these to help strengthen my ankles and feet for ballet, but I've found them more useful for stretching during yoga.

I have used the earlier latex version of this product and found it very satisfactory. This latex-free product has a thickness two to three times that of latex, and stretch per foot is less than latex , and smell duration is way worse than latex, it is also harder tie in a knot than latex.

Bottom line: if you are not allergic, look for the latex stretch bands.

These bands work very well for Pilates and other similar workouts. They are much more comfortable and easier to adjust than bands that have handles or other defined lengths -- with these, you just move your hand position on the bands to increase or decrease resistance. Great deal for the price.
