Resistance Band Question

[elsie3]

I have the old Dynabands in green and purple. How does the resistance compare to the bands Cathe uses in STS Strength and Cardio? Are the new bands easier or harder? For example, should I use my purple Dynaband in STS strength to get approximately the same resistance as the band Cathe is using?

My understanding is that the new green bands in STS Cardio are more stretchy than the ones Cathe uses in STS Strength. IMO, just use whatever bands give you a nice resistance -- it should be pretty tough to do the exercises with the band. I know my arms are usually toast when I do the bonus band work.

Thanks for your reply. I used the purple band for STS Strength on Wednesday because I wasn't sure the green was enough. But the purple has so little give that I'm wondering if the green would be better so I could get more extension. I'll have to experiment.

Thanks again,
