New&Improved 1,780 Posted December 6, 2019 Just curious if anybody has first hand experience with those resistance bands you can buy..? I'm looking at a pack that has multiple bands all different resistance rating and you can hook them to your legs or feet or even under the door.. I don't get out the house much so looking for something that will help me without my core and my arms and belly area? Do they actually work? Do they actually make a difference? Tell me your stories Summer has just started here DOWN UNDER! I've just hit the 100lb goal but still hoping to lose another 20+lbs by the end of summer!! Need help toning under my arms mostly but generally need to gain some strength and muscle tone Thank you. Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lynda486 784 Posted December 6, 2019 Congrats on the 100 pounds lost! That's awesome! As far as bands go I have used some in physical therapy over the years, but not enough to firm up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SorryNameTaken 85 Posted December 6, 2019 I have used them in the past. I liked switching back and forth between hand weights and resistance bands, I felt that gave me the better results. I will warn you, if one decides it has had enough and it is going to rip, it can hurt pretty bad. 🤣 1 New&Improved reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arabesque 7,413 Posted December 7, 2019 I bought one ($10 from Kmart) which is rope like with handles and a door attachment thingy. (I like it better than the flat strip ones you wrap around your hands which I used to use at Yoga.) I don’t like the whole gym thing so I thought I’d try the bands instead. They’re great for toning but i think if you want to build muscle weights are the way to go. I’ve noticed some toning in my biceps after a couple of weeks which is what I wanted. I just put together my own routine after watching a few you tube videos. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
