There’s a lot of good reasons to choose resistance bands to exercise…
-good for home workouts
-great for traveling (some gyms in hotels are just pitiful); these are very portable
-great to use with exercise videos (a lot of ex. DVD’s have you use bands)
What will they do for you?
-tone your muscles
-help you burn a few calories
-make your muscles stronger
-make your bones more dense
Why choose these particular ones?
-they’re pretty sturdy
-come with a door attachment
-exercise charts included
-most find the handles comfortable
-offer different bands with varying levels of difficulty
-reasonably priced
Disadvantages?
-if you look like the incredible Hulk, you’re probably not going to get enough of a workout
-some might find them hard to work with
-some might not like the “feel” of them as they do an exercise
All-in-all they’re a great exercise tool to use to help you get in shape, prevent injuries, or even rehabilitate one (you see these in physical therapy clinics a lot). And don’t forget, once you get comfortable using a given color, move up to the next harder band if you want to keep getting stronger. Also recommend Treat Your Own Tennis Elbow if tennis elbow is interfering with your workouts.

This product is amazing. I recently did 5 weeks of bootcamp and we used these resistance tubes every time for biceps, chest, back and shoulders. Its amazing how effective these are and all the time you are just using your body weight. You can make it as easy or as difficult as you want. I had to get them. The green one was a little too light for me and the blue one is a little too tight for a beginner woman. Best part is you can take this lightweight exercise gear anywhere you want and have a good muscle toning workout. Think you can google up the different exercises you can do with these. Plus for the price, it is so cheap, you dont even need to think twice.

I wanted to write this review to help others know more about this product because when I was looking around I was kind of in the dark. I ordered 3: the purple extra heavy, blue heavy, and red medium. I’ve worked out a lot off and on in the past with actual weights, and I’m always moving around, so this was just what I was looking for. Of course, how tall you are will make a difference, as taller people will have more tension in the bands when they are being stretched (if you’re standing, of course, which is a lot of exercises). I’m 5’10″, and unfortuantely my purpose in working out is to build muscle, as I’m kind of on the skinny side. The purple band isn’t for “extremely fit” people, but it does offer a good amount of resistance. Here’s a general guideline of what I found, based on my previous experience with weights:
If I double the purple band (grab both handles at once) and do one arm rows on a chair, depending on where you step on it, you can get a good 40-50 lbs resistance.
If you have one foot on the blue heavy band standing up, and doing curls, it’s about 15-20 lbs each hand.
If you step on the red medium tube about 6-8 inches from the handle and do one arm extensions over your head, it’s about 15 lbs
Again, these bands are very variable. You can increase the amount of tension by stepping closer to the handles, and by holding two bands at once, holding both handles at once, etc.
I would even recommend the green I think or the smaller ones for exercises such as lateral raises and for the rotator cuff, as stepping with one foot on the red tube while standing up, and raising both shoulders outwards provides a good 10-15 lbs.
Chest exercises are kind of awkward with this, my door frame is super weak so I don’t use the door attachment but I tried what was in the instruction manual and am sticking to pushups.
Also it is great for developing stability, it’s a lot harder to keep a stable motion with a cord than with an actual weight.
All in all, I would highly, highly recommend this, but if you’re already benching 150+, this is probably just going to keep you toned, but you could probably build the smaller muscles. Also depends on how many handles you can grab at once or how good your grip is if you grab the actual cord.

This is a good medium band at best, but not even close to being a heavy band. I’m a man, and I use it for several tricep kick back reps. For the average woman, this is a heavy band. My wife uses it for most of her 10 minute trainer exercises, but I only use it for a couple. I found a much heavier black band on amazon, that I highly recommend. To give you an idea about this band; with the biggest loop doing bicep curls, this band equates to MAYBE 20 lbs dumbells. With that other much heavier black band I found; with the same size loop I can barely do 8 reps. I’m guessing its more like 35 lbs and that is a huge difference.

I’ve worked out at home for years, but only recently have I begun incorporating exercise bands into my strength training. I’ve had a few flat-type bands that have wound up getting worn and snapped over time, so I wanted to invest in a higher-quality band. Happily, this SPRI tubing perfectly fit the bill WITHOUT breaking the band! This is a very sturdy, very versatile little piece of exercise equipment. You can use it to replace weights in your usual workouts, which allows you to work your muscles in some new and unique ways (refer to the included exercise chart for ideas). When at home, you can actually use the tubing WITH your weights to add greater resistance throughout the entire muscle movement, OR you can pack your tubing with you when traveling–so light and convenient! Finally, the included door attachment is easy to use and allows you to perform an even greater variety of exercises. I wasn’t sure which strength tubing to purchase, but I am an intermediate to advanced exerciser, and the medium (red) is perfect for me, as it is easy to adjust for either more or less resistance when needed. Highly recommended!
Review by Matt Keaton for Valeo Deluxe Speed Jump Rope

Yes, it’s a decent speed rope for the money and yes, it’s extremely frustrating to adjust. For me, the problem wasn’t so much in getting the metal cap off (easily done with a simple, sturdy flathead screwdriver pinned in the center of the tab) nor was it in actually adjusting the length of the rope. The problem was in getting the tab back in the handle. The cylindrical metal tab has to be snug in the handle lest it fly off during your excercise, but OH MYYY!!!, getting it back in requires an incredible and equal amount of pressure on all sides at the same time. I spent almost an hour before I finally got lucky and was able to push it back in. Good luck!!
As for the review concerning knots, I can see how they might prove to be cumbersome with the hindering of the motion of the rope. However, I’m not sure why anyone would want to tie knots in the first place. Just cut away the excess rope.
Now that my frustration is gone and my rope is fixed, it does a great job.

I saw a few complaints about adjusting the length of this rope. However, I had no issues pulling the caps off the end of the handles and did so by hand. Then I measured the length I needed – to measure a jump rope correctly, stand on the middle of the rope with both feet. The ends should come up to your armpits. There were two extra crimp bands included, so I just cut off the extra length, used a pair of small pliers to crimp the new band in place, and put the cap back on. I recommend you use a rubber band wrapped around where you think you need the crimp band first, try jumping with it for a few rotations, then put the crimp band on where the rubber band was. Too easy.

I have to agree with the other reviewers here- it’s a great speed rope, but it’s not easily adjustable. You have to remove a cap, tie a knot around the ends, then slide it back in. Fortunately, I’m 6’1″, so I didn’t need to adjust the rope! Not long enough for people taller than 6’3″ in my opinion.
Review by D. Davis for Valeo Deluxe Speed Jump Rope

As other reviews note, adjusting is an issue. It isn’t so much the ease of adjustment, but when you shorten the rope, you tie a knot in the rope and put it back in the handle. Problem is, knot is too big for the handle and negates the functionality of the bearings. So I’m going to have to remove the metal end that is crimped on the end of the rope and re-crimp it at the desired length. Kind of a pain.

For the price it is an excellent jump rope that is capable of pulling off most moves.
My only gripe is that it is a bit hard to adjust.
