Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I inherited these from a guy friend who is looking to build muscle mass. They didn't work for him because of the intensity of his workout, it was too much for the bands. Although, he did get some replaced by the company when they wore out quickly, so kudos to the company. He gave them to me, because my workout isn't as strenuous, so he thought they would be helpful. And they are great for what I do. I dropped my gym membership because of cost, but still wanted to continue with one of the workouts I took regularly that used resistance bands. (I would use these with a DVD, or exercise class, as the start up guide doesn't give a lot of information about specific exercises for toning all areas.) These are perfect for what I do, and the variety of equipment they give you is excellent, you can change up your routine easily. When I injured by shoulder (not seriously, just a strain), the yellow and blue bands give an easier workout without adding to the injury, and then I worked my way back up. I'm very happy with them, and they have lasted several months even with almost daily use (full disclosure, there was a week or two where I was too lazy to do anything). If you are looking for more serious workout/weight loss, I recommend adding other workouts to your routine, or getting more heavy duty equipment (although my body building friend told me they worked very well for him, but didn't last as long with a daily, super intense workout). However, if you are like me and working out isn't easy to do (lack of motivation), so you stick to what you are able to commit too despite not losing much weight with it, I can recommend a supplement Raspberry Ketone Platinum (2 Bottles) - Clinical Strength - All Natural Fat Burning, Weight Loss, Diet Supplement, 60 capsules - it's a great fat burner, and helps my workout actually turn around into weight loss and fat loss. I can't judge the products from the serious trainer point of view, but from the couch potato point of view, the bands are great for toning, and the rasp ketone makes your workout more effective in losing fat.
