Question about the resistance bands...

[lov2bfit]

Is there any difference between the "Dyna-band" and the "Thera-band". And for all of you that own one I read something that said you are supposed to put baby powder all of them before you use them to make them last longer. Is that true? Does it create a mess?

Thanks,

Katie

Hi katie,

I have the dyna-band and yes I put powder on mine. I put powder on it after each workout. It is supposed to make it last longer. And it also recommends you keep it in a container. I bought a rubbermaid shoe box shape to put mine in. I just sprinkle on the powder and shuffle it around and put it away. Also don't let alot of sunlight on it.

I have both "Dynabands" and "Therabands". They "feel" about the same, but the colors don't correspond. The info that came with the Dynabands says that powdering them and storing them in a plastic bag away from light makes them last longer. They also have latex in.

The Therabands don't contain latex, and they don't have to be powdered, according to the info that comes with them.
