Lorrie, you're my hero!!!!
Wendy, you're one to talk! Every time I see you on a thread you're adding some new activity, lol.
And mklap, yes, there are different resistances available for band work. You can check them out at fwonline.com. (Their prices are pretty reasonable for the six-foot length.)

Okay, okay...so I'm a bit warped and demented in my own right! I guess we all are in our own way so I say GO FOR IT! Find the strongest dang band you can buy and do those firewalkers with it, Marie!}( }( :7

Laura, dearie, how tightly do you wind the band? Because I noticed this on my second go-round, then realized that because I'd left the stupid thing tied (thinking that would save time), I realized it stretched out. Ergo. Now I tie that sucker TIGHT! But I am still interested in doing these with a stronger band just to see if I can walk at all afterwards. }(
What do you say, when are DM or B&G next on your rotation??

That's what I this past Saturday with the green band. I tied it so tight that it took a lot of a$$ (literally!!) to step to the side. Silly me for not thinking of using a different band!
Next time! Thanks for bringing this up as it's always nice to find new ways to torture ourselves even more!}(

It's pretty darn tight. It has to be b/c my band is pretty short--about half the length of Cathe's (speaking of, I noticed it tends to slip when I wear pants but stays good & snug when I wear shorts) You have to bear in mind I lift at a gym--I leg press like 270 & squat about 170, so while I can feel the burn w/the firewalkers I don't really find them challenging.
I don't have B&G--I'm assuming it requires things like barbells & such which I don't have b/c of space issues (OMG my handweights were sooooo cold on Friday when I did DM! I felt like Flick from A Christmas Story LOL). But if you can think of any other workout that just requires the light handweights & bands please list them b/c I'd like to give 'em a shot.
