For the money that you are paying you get a very good set of exercise bands! the elastic bands are well secured so they wont break that easily.I am happy with my purchase!

The bands arrived well packed, with a zip back for day-to-day storage. The lightest (yellow) is actually still useful, eg for the P90X exercise where you hold your arms out straight to your sides and move them in circles (with the band passing under your feet). In general, though, I use the heaviest couple of bands, and I'm not that strong. For an alternative to a chinup bar, where you put the middle of the band through the loop that goes over the top of the door, even the black is nowhere near strong enough. That aside, they make a good addition to weights, particularly if you just have one set of adjustable dumbbells, as they can help you avoid spending a lot of time adjusting the weights for different exercises - just use the ones you've got set up where appropriate, and where not pick up an appropriate band!The quality looks good, I can see them lasting a long time. The strap that lets you attach it to a door is great, overall well worth buying.UPDATE: after a couple of months I find the black (heaviest) band showing nicks, presumably from the door attachment. It doesn't show signs of developing into a tear, but is a bit worrying. Of more concern is just how little resistance there is in most of the bands. They are useful for doing things like straight-arm flyes or weighted arm circles (basically anything where you have your arm straight and extended), but even using the black and green bands together is not enough for exercising back muscles. I can see me handing these to my wife and getting the bodylastics version - much more expensive, but looks like they can be stacked for much more resistance.

I bought these resistance bands to use for Chalean Extreme workouts, part of the Team Beachbody programmes. They are exactly what I needed and was looking for. I'm not a fan of big and bulky weights, therefore I have found resistance bands to be ideal for me, giving me enough resistance to push myself hard and also give me the opportunity to carry out a variety of workouts and exercise.These particular bands are well made, were delivered precisely as advised by the seller and very reasonably priced.

I'm a cyclist with a gym and various other cross-training equipment at home but was looking for a resistance training solution for when I am on the road and staying over in Hotels.These bands are really easy and convenient. First off they pack into a neat bag that takes up very little weight and a moderate amount of space. They offer different resistance levels. If you are a huge monster of a guy you may want a little more resistance, but the middle resistance band is fine for my Tyrannosaurus Rex physique and for most of the things I want to do. And they even come with a choice of grips.For what they are, and at this price, I really couldn't imagine anything better.By the way, I've started using them for P90X workouts - if you are unsure how to workout with these bands - and can afford the P90X DVDs - these are a really good set of workouts.

When this arrived I was very disappointed. The exercise guide is like a wall chart of different exercises but with no text whatsoever! Not even an idea on what part of the body you are exercising. Furthermore, the pictures are tiny and not very clear.As a product it really is disappointing and not worth the money. I am looking to find a better version.Do not buy this!

Can't find a good method of using these for strength training, the chest expanders ripped apart luckily missed my face. Leaflet had very little detail.

for the price i thought i would be let down by these resistance bands but was extremely pleased when they were delivered quicker than expected and now after a week of use i would recommend this product to anyone who's wanting a quick solid or non expensive workout. Do not be put off by people saying you cannot build muscle with these as long as your muscle is being worked you will grow muscle as your muscle doesn't know if your lifting free weights or using the bands as long as its being worked (tensed then relaxed = workout). also the actual bands are a lot thicker and stronger than the cheaper options have great stretch in them. also included is a door attachment that you put your band threw and put the end with the ball closed shut it in a door and you can do many push / pull exercises witch are good full body workouts. so all in all after useing all types of bands for a few years these are up there with the very expensive end of resistance bands worth the 15 pounds for sure.

Bought these a while ago. They did what they needed too.
