TPE Resistance band question

[elsie3]

Is there an advantage to using the TPE band as compared to the Dynaband?

I did Travel Fit yesterday because I wasn't feeling too great. I use my green Dynaband for most of the workout and my purple band for when the green is too easy. Some have posted that the green TPE band is harder to pull than the green Dynaband. I wish the green band was sold separately.

Hi Elsie! The band that was included with Travel Fit was specifically included so that those who purchased the workout would have the exact same resistance as we do on the DVD. There is such fluctuation between bands and resistance that it is harder to do some exercises when using any band you happen to own. This includes the length of bands too. Some are only 4 feet in length.

That being said, you can use any band that allows you to do the exercise as shown, with complete range of motion (and a superb challenge). If you are unable to stretch your arms or legs to execute the exercise properly, your resistance is too great.

Good Luck!

Thanks for the information. I got Travel Fit as part of the pre-order, but I didn't get a band. Oh well.

Elsie, I didn't get a band with my Travel Fit, either...

I did not either. I use the one that came with one of my Firm workouts. Anyone ever ordered bands from Collage. You can never find the long ones (at least I have not) in the sporting goods stores.
