resistance bands

[mom418]

i noticed some exercises use loops, some use the kind we tie for fire walkers.
do we just need to get both kinds? is there a rule of thumb certain exercises is best for loop etc. or are they interchangable?

I use versaloops because they are handy and convenient and come in different strengths. They feel different to me than the resistance band. You do not need to get them in addition to resistance bands but then you will have to pause your DVD to take time to tie a knot in the band before you can continue.

I like my versaloops. The very strong one feels more tense than the tense resistance band.

I use multiple resistance bands and always leave one knotted for firewalkers and other leg work. If that one should ever break or wear out, I'll likely replace it with a loop.

i'm thinking about getting these just to do that, fire walkers! i'm ready to start shrinking!
after i recover and can walk again...

Trish, I use multiple resistance bands and keep one knotted for firewalkers too! I still have the old dyna bands, I don't think that one will ever break

Hey Belinda! I use Dynabands, too. They seem to last really long don't they? I use the green and purple but think I'm ready to try silver

I've always used the thera-band for these, but after seeing the previews of the new workouts, I've gone ahead and ordered the loops from Cathe. They're so inexpensive, so I figured, what the heck - that way I don't have to untie the other stuff.

Hey Trish! Can you believe this, I have another set of the of the old dynabands still in the org. box! I wanted another set last year, in case one of the bands break I have a feeling I will have that set for a long, long time! I didn't know Cathe is selling the purple and silver ones It's not the money that is stopping me for buying the loops, when I had back problems my PT gave me more bands!
