The right bands

[Robbie Dru]

Cathe uses a 6 ft band in her videos. why are they so hard to find? The fitness stores around here only sale the shorter ones. Any advice on where to get one? It's hard to do the moves right when my band is not long enough... Thanks

Hi, I replied to this in your other post. I couldn't find the longer ones either so I bought shorter ones and just knotted them together. Works great!

Chocolate IS the answer, regardless of the question.

Jonanah,
The link I posted is for the 6 foot bands.

Thanks Cathy! I've heard that bands can break over time so now I'll know where to get replacement ones--at a great price too.

You can also buy these bands in long rolls, to cut to the size you want. That way, if one breaks, you'll always have a substitution ready. And you can make various lengths as needed.

A great substitute for the bands in Butts and Guts are these loops (which are on sale through tomorrow!):

Collagevideo.com also sells them for $7.95, with free shipping.

The band I use for firewalkers in Butts & Guts is the one Collage sells as a Challange Band for $4.95. They don't even charge shipping for this item! I find it works best if I figure "8" it around my ankles. I'm always worried that tying and untying the band will break it. But I do have and use the 6' band for other work. Somehow, I've ended up with 4 of them!
