Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I love this set of exercise bands. I purchased them on a recommendation from my personal trainer for use when I stay at hotels without a full gym. Any hotel room with a door will allow me to do 90% of the exercises I normally do. All these bands roll up into a nice bag for travel and the whole kit is fairly lightweight. I think the lighter gauge bands are pretty useless for strength training unless you are a petite woman, child, or doing some rehabilitative work. I'm not exactly sure who uses a 2lb band. Maybe for stretching? But the red and black bands are heavier gauge and excellent for male strength training. There are a lot of reviews here on Amazon complaining that the bands eventually wear-out or break. They are supposed to. They stretch and, after repeated stretching, yes, they will wear out. Good. That means you are using them and your muscles are getting a workout. Quit whining. Buy a few more replacement bands. Wear them out too. The company that makes these bands appears pretty solid. In the package I received, there was a coupon for a free extra orange band which was even a heavier gauge than the black band. I'm looking forward to receiving it, and I think the company offering it at no charge was a very nice touch.
