Resistance Bands with Handles, Figure 8 Fitness Bands, Exercise Bands Set

I have been lifting weights seriously for over 16 years and loved it. Over the past several years though I have hit somewhat of a wall. I lift by myself, so I am at the point where increasing weight has become dangerous and I am also beginning to worry about the risk of load burden on my joints long term. I decided just before turning 34 that I would give calisthenics a try(and full disclosure, I completely expected to hate it and feel it was inadequate compared to weights) and it has been the best decision. Anyone out there reading this that thinks weights are superior, I am telling you it is not. If you want to look like a professional wrestler on steroids then weights may be for you, but if you want strength, real functional strength, and to look like a muscular athlete then calisthenics is the way to go. Bench press, dumbbell flys, etc is what I have done for years for chest and after just 4 months of calisthenics(one arm pushups, other push up variations including with rings, etc) my chest has developed more and my strength has improved without the risk of wrist injury from too much weight. Doing the different workouts on rings from back lever and front lever progressions as well as planche progressions has also addressed weaknesses I didn't know I had. Weights lifting involves a lot of isolation exercises and I've been dealing with lower back pain for a while and just chalked it up to overuse, but after just one month of calisthenics my back pain was gone, my posture was so much better(I didn't even realize it was bad, but could noticeably tell it improved without even consciously trying to change it). These rings are awesome too, I love the thickness, I used some plastic thinner rings somebody let me borrow for about a week and these with the wood and thickness are worlds apart in how they feel. The straps are extremely easy to adjust and set up. I can go from a mid level dip length to a higher skin the cat level to a low ring push up level without any issues. I also really like that calisthenics has "leveling up" so that you can continue to work to the next level in a way that keeps things from getting dangerous(although some skills may be dangerous). With weight lifting its all about the next weight which at some point can be too much for your joints to handle, but here yes sometimes it may be adding weight like with pullups, but in many exercises you can progress to something more difficult without the need of weights. For instance archer pushups to one arm pushups is a big jump, so you can do archer pushups with 4 fingers then 3 fingers then 2 fingers then 1 finger until the other hand is gone and you are left with one arm pushups. My body feels so much better after being a die hard (natural)weight lifter for years, and I feel more athletic, more powerful, more toned, and no more pain.

Well made, handy storage bag, instruction chart helpful. Good warranty. Much prefer versatility of these bands vs others with handles to attach

Product as described

Tough even lightest strength

WE BOTH ARE LIMITED TO TRAVEL TO GYM , SO WE ARE PUTTING TOGETHER THESE ITEMS ALONG WITH ANOTHER STEP AND TWIST UNIT FOR HOME. MY HUSBAND "GOD BLESS HIS HEART" ^_^ EVEN LIKES IT. THIS IS THE PERFECT ITEM IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO TRAVEL TO A GYM. STURDY AND IT IS JUST EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED. WHAT I REALLY LIKE IS THEY INCLUDED HOW TO USE AND NO EXCUSES FOR NOT STRENGTHENING AND EXERCISING. TRY IT! YOU'LL LIKE IT! (FOR THOSE OLD ENOUGH) MIKEY LIKED IT! LOL

These are really good for beginners. Easy to use and good instructions

The bands themselves seem fine. Unfortunately they are not much use to me as despite being a fairly fit person, they are all so stiff that I can’t really execute the movements well using them. I lift weights regularly (10-20 lbs in each hand or more depending on the exercise) and even the lightest of the bands feels too resistant! Must be weaker than I thought.

Love these. Must get if you want to improve your muscle tone and have easy way to do it. I use while watching shows and get increased definition and strength. Habit breed repetition with results.

Excellent easy to hold and easy to use.
