They are the best!
I love the bands. The quality of the product is great and you don't have a horrible smell like so many other bands. The bag to keep them in is the perfectly sized, which really matters more than you'd think--I've bought resistance bands before and the bag was always too small and aggravating. I had to leave them laying around instead of putting them up and keeping things neat.
The bands have different weight resistance, which I really enjoy. I started off with the least resistance and will work my way up. They are easy to use and you'll be able to tell a difference. I've only used them three times and can really tell a difference. They make my muscles sore (a good sore) when lifting weights didn't.
I'm really loving the door-safe anchor. I can do lots of exercises by using this. The ankle straps are a huge plus, too. With the door-safe anchor, ankle straps, and two handles I can get a full body workout.
The pamphlet does a fair job at explaining the exercises, but it is informative. If it's not good enough to you, you can go on YouTube and get loads of ideas for using resistance bands or just play around with them and figure out what works best for you. The pamphlet also doesn't really explain how to connect the door-safe anchor to the bands or the proper way to use it.
My only problem with the bands is that it can be difficult to connect the door-safe anchor to the band if you use the latch on the end of the band. I have fibromyalgia and sometimes it's very painful to my fingers, so what I like to do is slip the door-safe anchor over the band and not connect it at all with the latch. I then put the anchor in the middle of the band and put it in the door and that works perfectly. Maybe that's the correct way to do it anyway, who knows.
If you get these bands and use them on a regular basis you won't be disappointed. I love mine!
