URBNFit Long Fitness Bands (5 Ft) w/Door Anchor - 3 Pack of Resistance Bands for Stretching, Workouts, Rehabilitation

I was amazed at the resistance in the red band, far better than similar flat bands I have bought and tried. I like this set as much as the therabands I have. With continued use, I might like them more.As has been pointed out, you can double up these bands for even more resistance. If you double up the red band, you might be surprised at the powerful resistance. Unless you're a beast, in some exercises like front pulls you might meet your match with it.These bands are great for lying chest presses. Unlike tubular bands, they don't dig into your back. Unlike the flat bands that are an inch or two in width, these bands with a far wider width are more comfortable to do that exercise with.If you are inhumanly strong, you can use more bands. I'd reckon 3 to 6 red bands would test your strength sufficiently. If not, King Kong's got nothing on you.The price is decent. I will probably get one or two more of these sets at this bargain price.Another thing I like about them is the smooth stretch. Some bands feel unnatural. These feel natural and satisfying to work out with.Bands like these are seen as rehab bands, but with sufficient and doubled-up bands, they can be safer than weights for strength training tools. They are especially good for older men and women whose bodies strain and injure easier than when they were young.Do you remember when you could bounce the barbell off your chest when doing bench presses to squeeze out that extra rep? If you're past 40 or older, most likely those days are gone forever. Speaking of bench presses, these bands are an excellent alternative for bench presses when that exercise begins to cause pain in the shoulders or rotator cuff or cuffs. They're easier on aging joints than weights too.You can't go wrong with these bands, and you won't pay an inflated price for them. In short, you will get your money's worth and more.

I had knee replacement surgery at the beginning of February. I was determine to get as much range of motion and strength back so I started Physio Therapy two days after I was discharged from the hospital.After several sessions my Physio Therapist showed me a few stretches with stretchy bands and suggested I should purchase them for my rehab therapy at home.I found the Long Fitness Bands, ordered and was surprised how quickly they arrived.They were packaged nicely and I really liked that each of the three bands were in individual resealable packs.My PT wanted me to start out with the light band. The Long Fitness Bands are boldly labeled LIGHT, MEDIUM and HEAVY which I really like rather than having to open each package and figure out thickness.I have been using the light band for just over two weeks and it works well...especially for providing extra resistance for my half squats and heel slides.Today I had my first follow up with my orthopedic surgeon and he was extremely happy with my healing progress.He gave me the go ahead to bump up my stretching and strengthening exercises.I came home and opened the Medium band and there was a definite thickness providing more resistance. It also stays in place slightly better than the light...but I will still be using the light when I start a new stretch/exercise until I build up the strength to move up to the medium. Hope one day I get to the heavy band.Very happy with this purchase.The only note of caution would be if you have long arms you might want to go with a 6 foot band.

Ordered these for a 30-day resistance band workout challenge. They were recommended by the trainer. I mostly use the yellow (light) band, and occasionally I use the blue (medium) one. They work well and do what they are supposed to do. Only drawback is I left the 3 bands hanging over a bar in my bathroom and the blue color rubbed off onto the red and yellow bands. I used the blue one and I didn't notice any of the blue color staining my hands, but I will be on the lookout since it stained the red and yellow bands just by being hung together. In the future I will store them differently to prevent the colors from bleeding onto each other.

Admittedly these Amazon review requests arrive at practically the same time as the product so it is often hard to give a legitimate review. I haven't had the chance to put these to much use yet but the bands arrived quickly and were nicely packaged. As you would expect they have a slight 'rubber' odor upon opening but not what I would consider overwhelming and it dissipated quickly. The quality of these bands is very nice and the range of thickness is good, though ideally for my use I would have liked another option between the medium and light bands. The yellow band is a bit too light for me to get much use out of it and I may ultimately pass that one on to someone else who will. The door anchor is a great little bonus and the insert even shows a few exercises which is nice. If it were a bit more comprehensive I could even see keeping/posting it n my workout space as a visual guide.I bought these to replace the last band of a very old set that slowly broke. If you are looking for a nice set of bands I would highly recommend this set.

Wow, i'm loving these bands. i fretted over buying loops or open ended bands. i am so glad i bought these bands. they are so versatile. i can double them up or tie them to the length i want. tying them to legs of heavy furniture is a great option. the bands untie easily. the door anchor is very handy, too. i am 68 and play a lot of pickleball, which means i have to be as physically fit as i can be. i exercise an hour a day. these bands help me change up my exercises when i need to go from upper to lower body days...staving off the inevitable boredom that comes with daily exercise. good price, quick shipping, high grade material.

I was originally really happy with this purchase. The red band is nice and strong which I like. The blue ( medium) band is the one I use the most and it has just broken for the 2nd time making it unusable. This is in a 3 month period. I have had bands in the past last for years.
