tubing vs bands

[laventi]

Hi Cathe! Was just wondering what the main difference is between using the tubing vs bands in the new series. I definitely like the feel of the bands and was never a big fan of tubing, but is this just personal preference or is there something I am missing??

Thanks in advance - the new series is excellent, as is all your work-
Your the best!!

Hi there. I am wondering the same thing, although I actually prefer the tubing! Can the bands be substituted for the tubing and vice-versa on any of the workouts?

I asked Cathe that question when I pre-ordered and got this message from her:

"Hi Lesly,

As long as the tube is medium tension it should be fine."
Happy Holidays!

Thanks Lynn! Most of the time bands and tubing are interchangeable for exercises, however sometimes certain aspects make one better than the other. For example I prefer tubing with a handle for bicep curls, rear delt fly's, and tricep overhead extensions. But I prefer the flatness of the band when I need to wrap the band around my feet. I also think it is easier to make tension adjustments with the bands. The tubing handles dangle in the way if you need to tighten up on your grip. Overall, I feel both are fairly inexpensive so its not a bad idea to have both on hand (no pun intended, ha). Good Luck!
