Great bands, check sizes!
I purchased two sets of the Fir Simply resistance bands (one for me and another for my wife) as we recently began the 80 Day Obsession workouts. The bands have been working very well, come with 5 (many only had four), and seem to be a quality product at a great price.
For those new to working out with resistance bands I’ll offer a few pieces of advice. First, these bands were a bit too long for my wife’s legs. If you have skinnier legs you’ll want to look for 9” loops, rather than 12” like these are. That will ensure you’re getting a full workout for the full rep. My wife had slack in hers and wasn’t getting a full workout (almost like cheating). For me they worked just fine as far as fit goes. My wife purchased another smaller set.
Band rollup is always an issue with any bands. This can be very frustrating if you’re doing a high intensity interval training like we are and you have to stop to unroll a band. This didn’t happen in the beginning, but as I use these more they seem to occur fairly often. Again, this will happen with all bands.
Overall, I’m happy with the product, they’re holding up very well. I rate a 4/5!
Thank you for reading and rating my review!
