Wacces 5-level Exercise Latex Tube Variable Resistance Band Set

...I question the quality/craftsmanship. There are also a few things that make things less than ideal, and for the most part, I am fine with the short comings this product has (mainly because of the price). "You get what you pay for", but at the current price, I'd judge this purchase to be a win (but just barely).The biggest advantage this product has is the price. The product is durable enough (so far), and the price makes it a decent deal. Unfortunately, the product itself doesn't stand out as an overall winner. It's as if the manufacturers took a "least quality necessary" approach. For example, there is no sheet indicating which colored band provides the most resistance, the 2nd most resistance, etc. Having something like this alone would make the user experience 20% better (just from providing a sheet of paper of the product specifications!). Alas, I have no idea which tubes provide more resistance and by how much. The tubes themselves have varying thicknesses and diameters, so it's a bit difficult to tell just by feeling the tubes (one tube may be thicker than another tube, but if that other tube has a larger diameter, then which one truly provides more resistance?). I can do a standing bicep curl with all bands attached, so I would place the max resistance to be ~35-40 lbs (without "choking" the bands to shorten them and provide more resistance). This is less than I would like, but it may be adequate for you. Another example would be the handles. They seem pretty standard, but the cushioning is *slightly* less than what I would have expected. It'll do, but it's just another sign that the manufacturers were really trying to deliver the least quality necessary. Another issue is the clips used to attach the band to the handle. They are easy to attach, but because the clips are small, it's a bit difficult to detach. Look at the picture of the clips. If you were to fully depress the clip enclosure, it would provide a very small opening to unhook the handle. It's enough room to unhook the handle ring, but because you're depressing the clip with your finger, it creates less room to unhook the handle ring and makes it unreasonably problematic. This shows that they didn't quite think too much when designing the clipping system. A bigger issue with the clips is the quality. They will do for now I'm sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if it got contorted or broke over time. The last issue I have are the bands themselves. The bands are of adequate quality (I don't think they'll snap in half or anything), but I am not so sure how they are securely attached to the clips. I don't exactly trust the mechanism. Most bands have some sort of "plug" mechanism that prevents the band from detaching to the clip. The security system on these bands are a bit questionable. I feel that if I were to pull hard enough, I could break the band from the clip. Not that I would do this, but I wouldn't be surprised if this mechanism was weakened over time and provide more risk. Because of this, I wouldn't trust these bands when doing highly dynamic/explosive exercises.If you are looking to buy some bands that'll get you by for now or as a backup system, then I would recommend these if you feel the price is cheap. If you're looking for a set with more longevity, then I would look elsewhere. I've bought other bands that are only a few dollars more that do not have the shortcomings that this set has. But if having a set of exercise bands in the trunk of your car causes you to workout a few more times a year when you normally wouldn't, then I'd go ahead and get it.

I find these colorful exercise bands to be a really good bargain for the price! There are so many different ways to use these bands in resistance training to keep your body fit and toned. Since each band has a slightly different thickness and hence resistance level, one can use them individually by detaching them via the metallic clips or use them in unison with both your arms to get the configuration and effect you seek. The loops at the ends of the exercise bands bundle means that you can also attach one end to a strong metal overhanging exercise rod and pull down on the other end to do some resistance training that way. The package comes with an extra pair of black velcro straps with two metallic rings, in case you need them.You can adjust your feet and stance during usage of the bands as well to get varying effects that may best suit you, as you move your arm or arms with the band(s). Since the low price offered for this product means there are no instructions included in the package, it's easy to look up ways to use these exercise bands on YouTube. Just type something like "exercise bands workout" and watch the relevant exercise videos on the YouTube website and start using the bands.I would recommend this item to anyone looking to do workouts on your own while traveling on the road, at home, or at your local gym. This very useful and versatile exercise resistance bands set is a fantastic workout tool at a terrific price!!

I have a mobility issue, so I have been instructed by my doctor to do some seated excercises using resistance bands. I looked around and found these were the most reasonable ones I could find and offered the most options for use. You can combine the bands in a multitude of variations to produce different levels of resistance. They come with a nylon storage bag, so they are easy to store or take with you. I haven't worn any of them out yet, but compared to some of the very expensive bands, these are definitely not going to last as long and I assume I will eventually snap some of them, but for the price, they are still a good deal. If you aren't a professional "excerciser", or are apt to start an excercise regimen and then let it stop, I would recommend these. They serve the purpose very well without making another major sports equipment investment.

Purchased these a few months ago to be able to follow along with the exercises in my Jillian Michaels DVD's. Great, excited about what seemed to be a great quality product for the right price. I was using the lowest resistance yellow band for about 4-6 weeks when it broke. I didn't give this less than 3 stars because the other bands seem to be holding up well, and I was doing a lot of moves that required me to stand and or wrap it around my shoes which may have caused the band to deteriorate more rapidly.I do like the handles they are cushioned and don't hurt my hands. I like how they swivel when attached to the band, very easy to change out as well. I have not used the door attachment, but the travel bag is durable and I can pack everything into it with ease.
