SPRI Xertube Resistance Bands with Handles – All Exercise Cords Sold Separately with Home Gym Workout Fitness Door Anchor Attachment Option

Got one of these because I wanted something I could use in my apartment without buying a bunch of equipment and it seriously works great. The resistance is legit and there are a ton of exercises you can do just with this one band which is pretty impressive. Way better than those flimsy bands that come bundled with random workout programs and it feels like it will hold up for a long time.

good quality, easy to use, like helpful hints brochure

This product is a great complement to existing equipment, for anybody who wants to tone specific muscles that the other equipment can not target, at an extremely affordable price. It is lightweight, portable, and versatile. I purchased it primarily for the exercises that can be completed using the door attachment. I would estimate the resistance at about 15-20 pounds, based on the number of repetitions I can do with this as compared to weights in the 20-35 pound range. The door attachment works well and allows me to target specific areas for toning. The nylon bands around the plastic handles rotate freely so that everything can be adjusted for maximum comfort for the exercise you are completing. In general it seems well-constructed, and no part seems like it will easily fail. I feel safe while using the product. The included charts are actually helpful for me, allowing me to complete some additional exercises that I would not even have thought about. For the price, this perfectly rounds-out my exercise routine, and I may consider getting additional bands with a higher resistance in the future.

I purchased these after reading the positive reviews. Have been wanting to buy them as an alternative and mostly for lower body workouts. I am a female not trying to bulk up if that matters to anyone. I first bought the red based on my guess of moderate fitness level. I guess I'm not there yet bc I felt it to be too resistant to do 15 reps of leg abduction and adduction. I think I'll put the red one to use down the road. So I decided to also buy the yellow and green one. I haven't taken the yellow out of the pack and almost think it might be a waste but maybe I can double up the tubes to vary resistance. I've been mostly using the green one now with door attachment for adduction and abduction. Only maybe minor neg is that the handle around your ankle and pulling it sideways might be uncomfortable. I'm going to try the foam or wrapping a sock to remedy that. No noticeable handle issues using the band for other exercises. Overall I am satisfied with the quality of the product but I've only had a chance to use it for a month so far. Edit 3/30/09: Since I wrote the review I've transitioned to the red tubing for lower body. I waited a few weeks before writing initial review so it took a few weeks but not long for my initial guess that the red tubing would be appropriate for intermediate fitness level for female. I hope this doesn't confuse anyone! I'll have to check if green will suffice for upper body workout (currently using 5 lb dumbbells.)

Great for strength training

I purchased the SPRI bands in red-medium and blue-heavy resistance levels for use in P90X workouts. I think the range of resistance between these two bands were perfect for my needs. I am using these while in Iraq where gym barbells are available, but at times inconvenient with my work schedule...especially when the P90X workout can be done entirely in the limited space of my living quarters. One helpful hint is to adjust tension of the band in certain exercises by forming a small coil on the ground before stepping on them. This greatly increases the amount of exercises you can do while also allowing you to adjust tension when the bands seem too long. The door attachment is a good idea, but, without someway of reducing the length in the same fashion, the bands were always too long for the space I had to work with.

I recently received my SPRI Xertube Resistance Band and so far it is everything it claims to be. The product is very well made and is just like the ones I use at the gym. There's a lot of choice out there when it comes to resistance bands, but I believe that you cannot go far wrong with SPRI. Time will tell how long they last, but considering they're relatively inexpensive, I'm not too worried. The packaging describes the red bands to be of medium resistance and for people who are moderately fit to fit. My guess is that they're pretty good for most people. If you need more resistance, try the blue (heavy) or the purple (very heavy) bands. If you need less resistance, try the green (light) or the yellow (very light). Note that the handles are plastic. As an alternative, you might want to consider this product that has foam, rather than plastic, handles, but does not appear to include the door attachment: " SPRI XT-MU Xertube with Padded Foam Handles - Medium Resistance ".

I ordered 2 SPRI resistance bands, medium strength. However, Amazon sent me 1 SPRI brand and 1 ZHIAMZ brand. Seems strange that something like that could happen. I am in the process of returning the ZHIAMZ band. I have received the SPRI replacement. When comparing the 2 SPRI bands, both medium strength, one band's resistance is notably "weaker" than the other. No consistency with the product. I would have given this 5 stars instead of 3.

I use these for boxing resistance to increase punching stamina, so the door wedge is perfect!

Parfait comme ceux des gyms

Hasta el momento ha resultado muy buen producto, ha sido resistente y el acabo se ve muy bien, Sin embargo, las agarraderas se sienten muy frágiles y se resbalan un poco

I use it strengthen my torso to improve my core rotation in my golf swing and it works great.
