Review on Odoland 21Pcs Resistance Bands Set, Exercise Loop Bands With Door Anchor, Handles, Core Sliders, Ankle Straps, Massage Ball And Sport Towel For Resistance Training, Physical Therapy, Home Workouts by Maurice Vianes

A high-quality product that I found to be a great substitute for weights. Some tips:-- While this set was a good deal, you might not use all the other pieces that come with the resistance bands. I don't use the disks or some of the other components. So, order a set that has only what you'll really use.-- If you've been using weights, you might not feel you're getting a heavy-duty workout, but it's because of the difference in the loading. Weights give the heaviest load at the beginning of the lift, but basically zero out at the end; while the resistance bands give the heaviest load at the end of the stretch. So, you are getting a good workout with the bands.-- Unlike weights, you can vary the resistance dynamically as you work out. That is, if you're not feeling particularly strong for a given exercise, you just don't stretch the band as much on that exercise.-- I found that the bands aren't necessarily accurate in terms of their resistance load. For example, when I used a combination of 20-lb and 10-lb bands, I found the resistance to be greater than a single 30-lb band. So, use combinations and singles that feel right in terms of the resistance you want to achieve.-- I'd recommend buying an extra set of handles, so you don't have to keep hooking and unhooking bands during your workout.-- Check out YouTube videos demonstrating resistance bands. I got ideas for exercises I wouldn't have thought of that helped me develop a complete regimen.
