this is “heavy”?
Got these bands to rehab myself after knee surgery and help me stay fit while traveling. The blue and black are the only strengths for real muscle exercising, anything else you are just playing around. I recommend looking at videos online for suggestions, there are a ton of exercises possible and you do NOT need to get expensive attachments. You might want a cloth/gloves if you use them for a while because the stretching and contracting can pinch your skin in the latex and feel raw.These are very light in weight and seem durable. I have put them around stuff and over things, done heavy squat raises and more and they have no signs of wear. But they are like advanced rubber bands, so never drape them on anything with sharp edges or points while exercising and be mindful and they will last a long time.The tension is easy to adjust, just take in or give some slack to the band and you can find the right level for you. I’m considering getting the extra heavy because I’m worried about using shorter lengths to get more tension out of the bands I have now.BTW, they have a semi-sweet latexy aroma. I wouldn’t call it an odor because I actually almost enjoy the smell. I would recommend therabands to anybody looking to increase fitness and remove almost all chance of injury. Also great for people who travel frequently and want to have a consistent exercise schedule.

Snapped!
I was enjoying using these resistance bands, only for the so called strongest one – the black to snap suddenly. It struck me slightly, so be careful using them. They worked fine while they lasted, though I graduated quickly from the blue to the black. If you’re used to working out with weights, these bands are no substitute. They are good for toning and for stretching. But they are not as strong as advertised, or maybe they wear out quickly. I’ve only had them a couple of months and used the black one probably a dozen times.

Thera band – heavy, through Amazon
Quality was good and shipped promptly. However, the band that was supposed to be the heaviest or firmer of the two was hardly firm enough and the other one is not even as firm as the black one. I use the black one for my PT exercises, but would like to have one more like the one my former physical therapist used (which broke).

Great Product for Rehab and Exercise
Became familiar with product while going through rehab due to a hip fracture. Underwent a hip pinning. Anyways, rehab center would instruct me to squat slightly just as a linebacker would do before the snap of the football or an infielder would do just before a baseball pitch. They would then tie a theraband around my lower thighs with my feet shoulder width apart. I would then side step a few feet to the right and then side step a few feet back to the left all the while maintaining the squat. Through out the weeks I would graduate with different strengths of therabands. The bands were very versatile in that you could change the resistance depending on how tight or loose you tied your theraband, without changing colors which would be of different strengths. I would feel my thighs, glutes and other lower muscles really getting a good workout. I saw patients using the bands for upper body exercises as well. I recommend for rehab or just exercising, of course with doctors approval. I do suggest to do your homework first by going to the theraband web site and familiarize yourself with the different colors and their associated strengths. Hope this helps. Be well.

Great tool for building strength
I became acquainted with Theraband while undergoing physical therapy. Iâve been using them for years now. These resistance bands come in a range of strengths, so even someone whoâs weak can begin with a suitable band and gradually work their way to stronger resistance bands. Itâs easy to travel with them. Alsoâa big advantage for meâthey come in latex-free versions.

Fine when new but didn’t last.
I bought another brand in Dick’s Sporting Goods that didn’t last. A couple months of light use before each band broke. They break suddenly, without warning. They don’t show signs of weakening before they break. I use them to loosen up my joints with only modest resistance; I wasn’t trying to build muscle. I replaced the Dick’s brand with these and they were better, thicker, apparently more durable. But a few months in and they were getting all sticky. Sticking to themselves; if you wadded them up it became difficult to peel them apart. I hung them on the door knob and they stuck to the knob and the door. That made them almost useless. Suddenly they broke in the same manner as the other brand. I don’t know why they got sticky but they were obviously breaking down for some reason. They were primarily used in the house and weren’t left in the sun or any other harsh environment. Bottom line: they’re fine for about 3 months, beyond that your mileage may vary.

Working great for dislocated shoulder
I dislocated my shoulder back in college and will occasionally have it slip out (like attempting to run and jump on a tube sliding down a snow covered hill and landing wrong) My sister is a physical therapist and after having some workouts explained I decided it would be a good idea having them around to use daily rather than borrowing them right after an occurrence. The black is a little more stiff that I thought it would be but for strengthening tendons and supporting muscles these will work perfect for in the office where movement is limited anyway.I have been able to tie them to my desk or simply step on them and perform nearly all suggested exercises which will go a long way in recovery. These seem to be legit Thera-Band and I believe at the price payed for 2 five foot bands you will not get much better. I would suggest these to anyone looking to better themselves or help out after an injury.

I needed these to start my physio and they haven’t dissapointed. Use separate for light resistance (I’m a big dude) or together to add some umph to your stretches.

Lo cierto es que sólo utilizo la banda de mayor resistencia. Ha sido muy útil para mÃ, tanto para realizar estiramientos como ejercicios de fortalecimiento complementarios a mis rutinas en el gimnasio. La he utilizado tanto y sometido a estiramientos tan grandes, que creà que era irrompible. Desafortunadamente logré romperla al hacer ejercicios con las piernas (nada que no se arregle con un nudo). Lo que sà tengo que decir, es que me habrÃa gustado que trajera una pequeña bolsita, para que fuera más fácil guardarla y cargarla en el gimansio, como las que he visto traen algunas otras marcas.

I’m very happy with my bands. Two strengths in the package. There is a hint of chocolate mint when first using them but disappears quickly. Bonus, the delicious smell makes me want to work out with them more.
