Resistance Bands

HipChick

I still don't have any resistance bands but I need to get some before I receive the new Cathe workouts. Plus, I also plan to place an order for some others that utilize a band. So here's my question: I found a pack of 3 bands at TJ Maxx y-day but they were 5 feet long instead of 6 feet (they were also less than 10 bucks which I though might be a pretty good deal)... would these work for me since I'm less that 5'4"? If not, where would you recommend I place an order for some bands? I noticed that Collage carries them but didn't know if their price was good or not (they're $7.95 each, I think). Any help anyone can offer with this would be greatly appreciated!

TIA!:)
 
I got my bands from http://www.advancedworkouts.com. She sells them starting at $7.95--http://www.advancedworkouts.com/Resistance.html-- (more for heavier resistance) but she also sends them free if you buy certain workouts, like Drill Max or some of them from the Hardcore series, so if you happened to want to buy any of those workouts it might be a good place to buy. If you check out her Cathe DVDs you can see which ones say they include a band.

Thanks Carole! That's why I wanted to post before I wated my money. So which color/level would you recommend, considering that I've never worked out with a resistance band before? I might like to get a couple of different ones so I was thinking maybe green & purple. What do you think?

ETA: Thanks Lanie. I was planning to purchase some other workouts that utilize the band so this might be a good option too. Thanks again!
 
Hi Kel,

I got my bands here http://www.fwonline.com/dbcutlong.htm (scroll down to find the 6' bands).

I bought them in pink, green, and purple and the only one I use is the green one. I think Cathe uses the pink one in her Stretch Max DVD, and I'm pretty sure she uses the green one for fire walkers.
 
Kel...green and purple would be good to start with. Purple is a killer for the Firewalkers in B&G and Drillmax!...:)...Michele is right about the pink one in Stretchmax, I use a pink there too...
 
Thanks again everyone.

Now... if I can just get my DH away from the computer at home long enough for me to place a couple of orders...
