Serious Steel Fitness Flat Resistance Bands for Upper and Lower Body Strength Training and Exercise. (Non-Latex Flat Physical Therapy Exercise Bands - 4" x 25 Yards or 4" x 5 Feet)

I own a wide variety of home fitness thingamajigs. From loop resistance bands to jump ropes to adjustable dumbbells, I own it, as long as it’s cheap (read: I don’t like to buy machinery). This resistance band has quickly skyrocketed to my favorite home fitness item. It’s SO versatile. You can use it to do rows, to stretch, to increase mobility. Anything where you can use resistance, this band will help you do it. For less than $10, it’s a steal. You’ll absolutely want to add this to your arsenal.

Since using this band, I noticed 3 inches in growth in my bicep. total gain!

Picked up one of these level 5 Heavy (blue) resistance bands at the suggestion of my son who is a PT. As a middle-aged woman with an email job, my flexibility - never fantastic - has certainly declined, resulting in stiff joints. This band is very good quality, with good length, and grippy feel. There are no exercises or instructional guidance shipped with the band so if you aren't under the care of a PT or working with a trainer you'll need to search online for how to properly use the band. The band offers good resistance for a variety of stretches, allowing you to target different muscles or joints. It can be tied in a knot to provide grip holds or to place within the door frame, or create a loop. At this point I've only used this band for light duty so I can't speak to it's longevity, but so far very satisfied with no complaints.

So what is there to say about a simple exercise band? Actually I can contribute a bit…This band is 4” in width and 5 feet in length and is of “medium” strength. When ordering this, I wasn’t sure this medium strength would be strong enough to suit me. But because it is so long, it is possible to fold it in half to double the strength. It is long enough to tie a knot to create a circle or loop, which increases the number of exercises that can be done with it, and not too difficult to release the knot. Imagine trying to travel with a set of barbells. Crazy! But one can easily slip this band into a jacket pocket or bag and can have exercise to go.For me, though, there was one detail that caught my attention. It is Latex-Free. As a former RN in ER, I developed a severe allergy to latex over 25 years ago and have to be very careful not to have it anywhere near me. I can handle and exercise with this band with no concerns about an allergic reaction.The only possible negative I can bring up is that this band did not include any sort of instructions for use. It would have been nice to get suggestions for use, but there are plenty of exercises one can find via videos on line, so this is not a real issue. Otherwise, it does exactly what it is intended for, so FIVE Stars.I hope you found this review to be helpful. Thanks for reading!!

Due to injuries most of the physical therapy recommend resistance bands as the initial strengthening exercises. I have a shoulder injury with a surgical repair. Recovery is slow and requires cautious rehab.The resistance bands aid in keeping you safe from further injuries and slowly strengthens you at your pace. You control the resistance.This resistance band is great. I found the resistance to be firm, it is listed as medium. As we learned in PT, try shortening the length to where you grap or if using a wall mount increase your distances from the mount, this will give a greater resistance when using the band. I love wall mounts. They allow another level of exercise. There are a lot of charts available on internet on band exercises. Different color do indeed represent different resistance. The band appears very durable and thick.What I didn’t like about the band was the length. If your tall, using the band when standing on it is more difficult due to length. In addition, many bands are knotted up making loop to grap on to. There is not enough band to make a grap loop. This is a single band and you will need a variety of bands with different resistances for a better rehab. Great band to start with.

This resistance band is great! I recently broke my ankle and had my foot & leg in a cast or boot for 3 months, during which time I lost a bunch of muscle mass and after I got my cast off, I had stiffness and weakness in the ankle from the break, the surgery, and the healing process.My PT recommended that I get some resistance bands to help train my leg to get back some muscle, movement, and mobility while I was still not putting weight on my ankle but was able to access and move it. Having the resistance band has made all the difference from PT without it - I have more strength and mobility than I was ever able to manage with just my body alone.10/10 do recommend.

I like that this can be folded small and stuffed into my backpack. I have sets of exercise bands and got this to complement them. The length of this makes it easier to do arm exercises while anchoring it with my foot/feet. It doesn’t come with any instructions or suggested exercises, but that’s what an internet search will reveal.The weight I got was “heavy”, I’d rather a little heavier than too light. A nice addition to my repertoire.

I have to use these bands to strengthen my shoulders. I got the medium and heavy from my physical therapist. I wanted a heavier one but didn’t want to ask for more. I purchased a set on Amazon and the quality just wasn’t as good as the professional version. Then I found these. The quality is excellent! Sometimes with these type of bands when you pull them, how do I describe it…. They feel like you can feel layers in it? They feel like they stretch beyond “solid”. These are excellent. When you stretch them they stay smooth and the color stays solid. They feel perfect! They stretch smoothly and comfortably they a perfect for doing my exercises. So happy I found this brand! Exactly like the professional brand, maybe even better.
