Editorial Reviews:
|
The only resistive exercise bands endorsed by the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA). Ideal for building upper and lower body strength for rehabilitation or fitness. Whether building strength after shoulder or knee surgery or improving athletic performance, our bands, tubing and corresponding resistance exercise programs can be easily and economically used for any exercise program. The progressive resistance of our products parallels the basic concepts of building strength and mobility. As each level is mastered, the resistance can be increased with ability. The use of elastic resistance rather than weight-bearing exercises minimizes pressure on the joints and decreases the possibility of incurring other injuries. They can be used while traveling, sitting at home or even in the office. Uses for the Thera-Band Bands include: exercise, gym, balance, fitness, birthing, yoga, pilates, and stability and resistance.

Summary: Just bands
Comment: I was hoping to do a little resistance training where ever I might be, and that the bands might help me with stretching as well. This is what they are, but I didn't like them. I think that these are very good if you are either a beginner to resistance training or if you are in need of rehabilitation or therapy. I prefer the looped bands though, the bands that are a complete circle that you put your arms or legs in and pull away from each other.
The bands are fine, it just turned out that in the end I found that the looped resistance bands worked better for me. If you are looking for resistance bands like you use in physical therapy, these are them!

Summary: Great Way to Get Stronger- At Home!!
Comment: Thera-Band Latex Exercise Band Pack - Light - 1 Thin/1 Medium/1Heavy - 5.5" X 5' - Free Shipping is a great way to improve your strength without going to the gym.
These bands work by providing direct resistance to your muscles. In order for a muscle to get stronger, it must constantly be challenged. For instance, if you pull on the light band 10 times a day, every day, you will NOT get stronger- simply because your muscles are used to doing it 10 times already and have no reason to get stronger. HOWEVER, if you try to pull on the band 12 or 15 times, well, your muscles aren't used to that and now have a reason to get stronger. This is called progressive resistance and is how all muscles get stronger.
That's why this pack of therabands is so great- when you can do your exercises with the light band, simply switch to the medium one and you'll get stronger. Cheap, portable, and effective- everything you'd want in an exercise device! Also recommend Strength Band Training (American Sport Education Prog) for more on getting stronger with resistance bands.

Summary: Therapy
Comment: TheraBands have a long history of use in recovery from various joint surgeries or pinched nerves, and are especially useful in slowing osteoporosis. They avoid the danger of sudden shifting weight that can occur with hand held weights. The tension is steady and adjustable through use of color coded strenghts. They are perfect for home use and travel because they take up so little space and they won't hold you up in the security check-in line!

Summary: Shorter than others
Comment: My bands from physical therapy were 6 feet long--these bands are only 5 feet long--they would be great for really short people!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great exercise bands!
Comment: They work just fine, although the rubber smells a little like cake when you take them out of the packaging, but it's not a big deal. My wife uses them for pilates anytime she can. She loves them!
