OK 'fess up, how many of you have

[LauraMax]

broken your green band doing firewalkers? I've seen lots of individual posts about it, now I'm looking for a headcount.

I broke mine Saturday doing DM. Had to grab my 10 lb dumbells & do squats until she finished.

Not yet, but mine's got a teeny tear in it, so it's just a matter of time

Not yet, but Í can see it happening, which is why I picked up some of these, just for that exercise: http://www.performbetter.com/detail.aspx_Q_ID_E_3893_A_CategoryID_E_436

Kathryn, I have those too and they're awesome! Perfect length and really durable. I highly recommend them.

I haven't broken my green band yet (but I don't use it that often)) I'm not a huge fan of DM or B&G.

I have those exact bands myself - saves the tying and untying, too. I like a heavier resistance band anyway. BTW - those mini-bands on ON SALE through Sept. 30! $2.00 each! Such a deal!

Which resistance do you have?

 

[LauraMax]

Oh my, I think I'll have to stock up! Thanks for the tip!

You know what's weird? My dad works at a Play it Again Sports (his retirement job, lucky him & lucky me!). He can usually get me any equipment I need wholesale, but for some reason he can't get me the bands. x(

Just one and it didn't pop me when it broke but it scared the heck out of me.

Oh mine popped. Snapped me on the thigh. It hurt!

the blue ones - whatever resistance that is

 

[buffettgirl]

I broke two last week. One was an old one I just used for firewalkers and kept tied all the time. The second was one I used for everything else and it was getting kind of worn. Luckily, I had ordered an extra, but now I'm down to one.

 

[copwife]

Mine has a little tear in it Thank's for the link for the mini bands.

 

[DeanaMax]

I lost mine doing leg presses too!

 

[Boybert]

Mine didn't break, but it started to stick together and get all nasty. what category is that?

Mine broke about 3 months ago and I'm trying REALLY HARD not to buy something new....saving money. For now, the shorter length works just fine.

I don't have the bands like Cathe uses - I already had tubes w/ hooks for handles so I use those. Just hook the hook around the tube instead of knotting - NICE!

Were fairly cheap @ Wal-Mart if I recall correctly...

 

[Teddygirl]

Monthssss ago, I use purple now for everything that requires a band x( Nice thread
