SPRI Ultra Toner Figure 8 Resistance Band with Padded Handles Great for Stretch, Exercise, Fitness Training, Yoga, Resistance Weights, Therapy, Gym or Home Workout Equipment.

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 ! :-)

When this arrived, I was a bit disappointed bc I expected more. Then I started using it - don’t be fooled by the slight size. This thing packs a punch. If I had gotten the next level up, I wouldn’t be able to use it. Great for starters. Easy to use. Making a difference. In six months, I’ll level up.

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

All SPRI equipment is useful in elongating muscle, toning, creating recovery & Speed / Stamina.

I use it before my workouts, I really like it. I have so much pain in my neck and shoulders this really loosens me up.

No resistance at all

Very nice work out band. This is the heavy version and it needs a good pull, just what I wanted. Very smooth to use. Also compact for traveling. Thanks.

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.
