SPRI Ultra Toner Resistance Band Figure 8 Exercise Cord (All Bands Sold Separately)

I purchased two of these, They are what they are. Simple bands to do daily stretching. They do the job. They are light, well made, and easy to take with you when traveling. I have a bad back and I find that using these for stretching my hamstrings when I wake up in the morning is the perfect way to start the day. I previously purchased the purple high resistance band before, but I no longer see this offered by the manufacturer. It would be helpful if the manufacturer used a number to describe the amount of resistance their bands offer.Recommended.

I love this SPRI Ultra Toner in Medium (Red) even more than the Light (Green), and VERY LIGHT (Yellow). I started with Yellow Exertubes and Yellow Ultra Toner. I could not use the Green because I wasn't in good enough shape after elbow and knee surgeries. When I was able to move up to Green, I was ecstatic, now I was starting to Build the muscles the Yellow had made functionable. And now I am using the Red Ultra Toner! Wow! Talk about an improvement in strength and energy. I love how the Red feels. The tubing is heavier than the light ones, and it's more satisfying when I pull on it for stretching, it's sturdier and gives me a bigger feeling of accomplishment. I expect to be moving up to the Blue (Heavy) very soon. Prior to injuries I was in great shape, worked out twice a day, looked good, felt good, had strength and energy. I am trying to get back to that place with tubing, and it seems to be working for me.I also use the LexLoop in Yellow, and now Green. I haven't tried tubing by other companies, but that's because I'm so satisfied with SPRI I see no reason to change.Update : 8 / 21/16. I have purchased, and started using, the Blue -- Heavy. I love it, however, I am not through with the Red -- Medium, yet. However, for upper body, two hands, shoulder level, I really needed the Blue, but for stepping on it, and pulling straight up, I am still a Red. My lower body is not as strong as my upper yet, and even my upper still needs more work. I'm some happy to have the various Resistance Bands levels (weight), to workout with. I'm learning that individual muscles react differently to different level resistance bands. My lower body muscles are slower to build and tone then my upper.And now that I broke my stupid little toe, stubbing it hard on a box I was packing, my lower body will be even slower, because now I'm limited on my usual movements.All that said, I can't wait to try Purple, Very Heavy, for my upper body. Not yet, but soon, I hope ! :-)

These bands are great. I've used them in fitness classes that I took, and finally ordered a set for myself. You may read reviews about these bands snapping. I have taken classes for years using these bands, and as they wear, there could be potential for snapping. Once your bands get old, and you may see some cracks, then order a new one. I don't think it is reasonable for customers to think bands can last forever, but if you use these correctly, and you don't use these in a class setting where they are used countless times a day by various individuals, I think these could last a single user for several years (unless heavily used). They are a very cheap alternative to large, bulky weight machines, and you achieve nice, toned muscles. They are great to travel with as well!

Good quality but I can still can't connect body and mind when using w arms

I love the Spri brand. There is no substitute!

Well-made product that makes practicing by PT at home that much simpler. I took it in for my PT to see & he liked it better than what his office used! I bring it every week to my appt!

I have been using the "SPRI Ultra Toner Medium Resistance (Red)" for two weeks and I can only speak highly of it. While I also bought the SPRI ES501R Xertube Resistance Band with Door Attachment and Exercise Charts (Red, Medium), I have to say that it's not really necessary since you can use the Ultra Toner for both upper and lower body work.The Ultra Toner is small and lightweight, making it perfect for taking to the gym, to work, on vacation, or on a business trip. The Ultra Toner is particularly good for biceps and shoulder work. The trainers at my gym use it for leg and thigh exercises, but I find it to be far from ideal.While the Ultra Toner red resistance band is excellent, I have just ordered the Ultra Toner blue resistance band which is heavy resistance. The item I ordered, SPRI FCS-HBR Fitness Conditioning System Xering and Ultra Toner (Heavy Resistance), contains both an Ultra Toner and an Xering, which is specifically designed for leg and thigh work.The product comes with black and white instructions, which are OK to get you started, but you're going to want to find something more inspiring. I suggest checking the SPRI website and YouTube, both of which have excellent videos for this product and other resistance bands.Highly recommended, buy with confidence.

So when this sucker says "Ultra Heavy", they really mean it. With all other resistance bands that I've used, I can stretch them from head to toe without straining, but this beast sure ain't like the others! It is a great challenge, and I have been able to achieve some good exercise positions while using it. My only gripe, which has been a major deterrent to using this product, is that the piece in the middle that separates the two ends, is not stationary, meaning that it easily moves from one side to the other. So in the middle of my exercise, I will all of the sudden have one loop that is much larger than the other, which means much stronger resistance for one arm. Worst of all, trying to get the divider back into the middle is not at all an easy task, especially when you're sweaty and in the middle of a workout. If this company can find a solution to this problem, this would likely be one of my favorite pieces of resistance equipment.

My husband wanted a stronger one but my daughter liked this one.

Love the Spri Resistance bands.. Good quality and long lasting.

Works as expected

the title says it all.

appreciate the strong handles, they don't split
