Resistance Bands

I cannot find resistance bands (like those used in Gym Style Series) long enough to do some of the exercises. Any suggestions?

Thank you!!! I love this site!!:)
 
www.fwonline.com has two kinds of bands at 6' lengths, including the ones that Cathe uses (the green durabands). I actually think the Thera Bands look better because they say you don't have to powder them to make sure they last longer (you're supposed to put baby powder on the Durabands before you store them away, but I don't).
 
I also got mine from fwonline.com I use the purple and silver ones for a lot of my strength training in the 6 ft. lengths. I need to get a pink one for stretch max. They have the green as well. They are the Dyna Bands. There are also the Therabands. I think they are latex free for those that have allergies to latex. My Daughter does and she is in the medical field. I personally just like the colors of the Thereabands but I am sure there is some differences it may be longivity.

Hi Nancy!

I see you got answers already but I just wanted to say Welcome to Cathe's. It's nice to have you here. Stick around and you'll learn lots. Do you have a lot of Cathe's workouts? If not, we'll be glad to help you send some $'s. BTW, I get my bands at Fitness Wholesale also. They are not expensive. Have fun and again, WELCOME!

Thanks again everybody!! To answer your question about which workouts of Cathe's I have: I started with Power Hour, then I bought Supersets (which I don't care for as much as Power Hour), THEN I taped upper and lower body series on FitTV and I also love these workouts. Recently I purchased the Gym Style series which is murder (lol). Power Hour was murder when I first tried it too. I have given up my gym membership because none of the body sculpting classes there were near as good as any workout of Cathe's and I have a hard time motivating myself there without a class. I'm just sorry I didn't discover Cathe 20 years ago.

I have three daughters aged 15, 20, and 22. They also workout now to Cathe. (You can never start them too young) They love the way they look and feel. I just wish I could build muscles as quickly as they have. It's nice to have young muscles.

Welcome Nancy.. nice to have you on the forums. Check in on our daily check in where we post our workouts. It is a great motivator.
 
hi nancy and welcome. i can't give you a good heads up for resistance bands b/c i still have one that is about 2 years old that someone gave me. but everybody gave me some good ideas as well LOL. that is so cool your daughters workout with cathe too.

Thanks to everyone for the well-wishes.

I've been on this site practically the entire evening. What fun reading everyone's posts!!

Yes, I'm glad to have shown my daughters Cathe and to turning them on to working out in general. Keeping fit together also keeps us closer.

I just purchased the fitness bands on line at the site that everyone recommended. They were really cheap. I was able to purchase four of them for $13 and change plus $4 for shipping. Cheap, right?

Nice chatting with everyone.

Nancy:)
