Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I had been working out with a mix of dumbbells and an old Bowflex. I bought these on a whim because I heard good things. I love them! They allow me to do a larger variety of exercises to keep things fresh and get more muscle fatigue for my effort than my dumbbells could ever give me. Much quicker and easier to fine tune the resistance to each exercise than I could with adjustable dumbbells and Bowflex. I just change my grip on the band or grab a different band and presto. I always thought resistance bands were for toning and rehabilitation but these ones really get my muscles burning! I can't speak to the durability yet but overall I am very happy with the first impressions. Updating this review now that I have been using them 3-5 times a week for 3 months. They are amazing! I sold my Bowflex because I couldn't find any exercises I needed it for that these bands don't do better. I do 95% of my exercises using these bands and some low, medium and high anchor points. There are still a couple of exercises I prefer to do with dumbbells. There are so many exercise options that I found searching the Internet that I am constantly mixing up my routine to keep from getting bored. As to durability they have held up very well! Another update: I have now had these for over a year. I continue to use them 3-5 times a week and I haven't had any issues with bands breaking or wearing out (I always use a band that has enough resistance to keep the muscles working). I added the Iron Infidel handle and I like to use it for some exercises but a lot I still just do with gloves and the bands. This is the longest I have ever kept with exercising and I have seen amazing results. At 48 I have the body I had at 20 (give or take some looser skin) and I feel great! I have recommended or given these as a gift to several people and they have loved them as much as I have.
