SPRI Braided Xertube Resistance Band

I have worked out with the single strand fitness bands before, and had quit using them after a couple incidences of them breaking on me mid-rep. Very painful experience. But I am travelling for the next year, and can't bring dumbells and pull-up bars with me. I needed a viable alternative, and fitnessbands fit the bill. The braided bands are great because I can put my all into the workout without fear of getting injured by a band snapping. I bought 3 of the 5 resistance strengths offered by SPRI, and they are just what I needed to do my workouts. If I were a guy though, I think that I would need to have started at the medium strength band and bought the heaviest 3 bands, vice the lightest 3. To give an idea of where I am at physically, when I do the P90X shoulder, bicep, tricep video, I use 15lb for most of my bicep work and usually about 5-8 for shoulder fly exercises. The Yellow SPRI band (Very Light) works well for the shoulder work, the Green Band (Light Resistance) is good for my tri exercises, and the Red Band (Medium) is good for my biceps (although sometimes I use the Green and give myself less band to work with). My workout regimen includes P90X, TurboFire, and Insanity.

Excellent band! Strong enough to keep up with active athletes who are rough on bands!!! 4 Thick braided bands, high versatility during training. Only negarive is Strong odor at first.

I received this braided resistance band and the quality is outstanding. However, it came without a door anchor. In the past, I have used resistance bands to do pull-up work. I’m not sure if I can purchase an anchor separately. Thought I would pass this along.

The braiding makes this nicer than most resistance bands I have tried. The strength seems about right for medium. I'm 5'11" and 190lbs and lift semi regularly. I wanted to the band to rehab past shoulder injuries. I find it is more than long enough to hold one end on the ground with my foot and do shoulder exercises with either arm. Only downside if any would be that the handles are not a solid plastic triangle. The anchor is plastic and the grip itself is nicely padded plastic, though very sturdy. A mesh straps connect these parts by running through the hollow grip. This in no way compromises the strength of the device, it probably make it more durable. It does make it slightly more difficult to hold the band during certain exercises depending on the angle.

I wanted to get in some upper body resistance work, but I'm no spring chicken and after years of overuse my shoulders are not what they used to be, so I thought resistance bands would be better than free weights. I ordered the red resistance level, which turned out to be absolutely perfect for me. I will say that if you order this you should ALSO order a door adapter that hangs at the hinge of a door, which makes the band much more versatile. I've been using this about 3 days a week. Takes up NO room, unlike heavy free weights it's not something you're going to be stubbing a toe on or accidentally dropping and damaging something. Unlike MOST resistance bands, I have no worries about this separating from the handle, which is apparently a thing with cheaper tubing bands with only one point of connection at the handle. This is solidly made, and I expect to continue enjoying it for many years. UPDATE: AFTER USING the red band for years, I came back for the next level up, the blue band. Both are used every other day, both are flawless. Have recommended to everyone I know searching for bands.

Muy buenas ligas para el ejercicio es muy lastica así es como tiene que ser los productos pura calidad se los recomiendo a los que los gusta el ejercicio

I've used alot of resistance bands. They aren't my favorite piece of workout equipment. I don't take care of them as well as I should and on more than one occasion, I've been slapped with a band breaking mid workout. This band is more expensive than what you could get around the same resistance level. But with that said, this is easily the best band I've ever bought or used. It's sturdy, the resistance is nice, and I don't worry about catching a broken band to the teeth. If you do band work as a part of your workout routine, these braided bands are a must have. Mine has already out lasted any other brands I've tried.

One of the few bands the actually hold up to breakage and so much more convincing using only one band versus several.

Muy buena calidad, la resistencia 3 fue demasiado para mi, si eres principiante te recomiendo la resistencia 1 aunque salgan más caras.

Good quality..fast service

Étant de calibre « débutant « et pesant moins de 10O livres , ( 42 kilos ) , la résistance de ces bandes me convient . J 'avais acheté le calibre plus résistant ( couleur rouge/ noire ) mais il était trop difficile à tirer . Ce sera pour plus tard . J’aime les poignées qui donnent un bon « grip «

Sirven muy bien para ejercitar el cuerpo

Es lo que esperaba, funciona muy bien.
