ProsourceFit Single Stackable Resistance Bands with Door Anchor and Exercise Guide, 8-12 lb

These are easy to put in the door jam and actually fun to use. They help me get started exercising because I look forward to using the bands first and then work my way up to weights. I'm exercising much more now.

The ProSource Tube Resistance Bands Set with Attached Handles is a fantastic at home work out. I recently joined a gym in July. I can not always get there so these band definitely help with doing some at home workouts. Firstly, please note when you receive the bands they smell horrible. They have an overpowering rubber smell. I left mine outside for a day to air out and still, they smelled. So I left them in my garage for a week to air out further before bringing them in to use. Obviously, any rubber will always have that strong odor. Once they aired out I brought them in and tried them out. There are 5 bands giving varying resistances. Thinner giving the least and thicker giving the greatest. Upon using them you might be confused like I was about what you could do with them besides the 1 exercises that I could only think of that came to mind. However, the included booklet with actual diagrams gives so many different ways to use them. It even tells you Myths and Facts about useful information from calories to metabolism. It gives useful tips on exercising. I can really feel the burn in my arms when I am done with my workout. I am very delighted and can't wait to try all the exercises. I am a 38-year-old female and will be buying a set for my Mother in her 60's who can't go to the gym due to medical reasons. I believe she will love these bands too.

With my bad knees and carpal tunnel, I have been directed to do more strength training. These bands are perfect. There are a variety of exercises that can be completed in the home. They came in a ProSource bag and there are a variety I'd colors with each depicting a different weight. Perfect for a workout while watching TV.

I workout at home daily so I was very excited to give this product a try. I usually use free weights for my strength training and I thought the resistance bands would give me something extra to change it up. They did not disappoint! The are well made. The rubber is thick and durable and the handles are comfortable and strong. I like the various levels of resistance they provide, making them great for any level of fitness as well as for various activities at my level. I can use a different band for legs versus triceps, etc. The insert that comes with the product also gives some great set ideas to get started. I appreciate the drawstring carrying bag as well so you can take these with you. They would be a great option for someone who travels. After using them the first time, I felt a bit sore and definitely felt they were working my muscle groups well. Great product.

This is a great set. I love the fact that there are 5 bands, as some other sets only have 4. So far, I have only used the yellow band, as I'm pregnant and taking it a little easier, but it worked great. It's crazy how you can feel like you get in a good workout with such a simple product, but it does work! The bag that came with these is also great for storage. It holds all bands nicely, and seems very durable.

I would highly recommend this set. It has five different tension bands, which makes it easy for you to pick what's right for you. It comes with a very helpful manual and a bag to keep all your bands together. It's great for beginners. It's an excellent way to get fit, in the convenience of your own home.

I highly recommend these bands to others! I have a bad back, have had back surgery twice, so using weights to work out is very difficult for me and very painful. I love working out and feeling the burn of a sore muscle and these bands are the perfect solution! I can work out, get the burn, and not feel the strain or pain in my back! There are tons of online videos for different workouts to do using bands. Just do an internet search for resistance band workouts. These bands also come with a little booklet that tells how to do a few different exercises. I found these directions a little vague, but the pictures explaining the placement of the band was very helpful. Exercises included in booklet are squats, lunges, hip flexion, butt blaster, outer thigh criss cross, chest press, triceps extensions, bicep curls, lateral rows, rowboat, bow and arrow, shoulder pinch, trunk twist, push up, and shoulder raise side bend. Bands are colored based on strength. Yellow is 2-5 lbs. Green is 5-8 lbs. Red is 8-12 lbs. Blue is 12-16 lbs and black is 16-20 lbs. Bands also come with a carrying bag, small booklet and door strap. I loved that this set comes with a wide range of weight options. I can quickly go from from a black band for squats to a lighter red band for triceps extensions. The handles for the bands have a nice cushion to them so they are not painful on the hands. Bands have a nice stretch to them, while also providing appropriate resistance. I received these bands as part of the Spark Reviewer program but that in no way influenced my opinion of these bands. I would highly recommend these to others, especially if you are unable to use normal weights because of a bad back. Theses are a great alternative!

I am using this device a little differently than younger people would use it because I am looking to strengthen my arms only. It has worked very well for me and I am very pleased with it. It is strong enough to allow me to attach it to a door knob to use as a resistance tool.

I received this set of resistant bands that also includes handles and the ankle Velcro bands. I just started physical therapy for my knee and so I have already been using them for specific exercises given to me from the PT. She wants me to bring the exercise book when I go back in a couple of weeks to see if we can add more exercises at that point. So far with what I am allowed to do they have been wonderful and I look forward to expanding my exercise routine at home with these bands. It's great to have since I cannot go to the gym right now. I would definitely recommend them. They have several bands from light resistance to work up to more and more resistance.

I am a senior and hoped this would be a good piece of exercise equipment. There are several exercises that I would not be able to do. So I will have to return it.
