I really must know are your bands the same exact bands used with Body-Bands Resistance Tubing Band Set #7C? Or is their resistance weight heavier?

Let me put it this way: 1. I use the grip handles, foot straps and anchors interchangeably between the 2 different products. 2. The length of the Bodylastic tubes are slightest longer than the Mountain ones. Hence if you intend to use both right and left limb simultaneously, example a two handed lat pull-down, you cannot use one Bodylastic tube for the left hand and the Mountain tube in the other hand. 3. The weight equivalent of the 2 products are different, example mountain red tubes are 25-30 lbs wheras the red in Bodylastic is not, namely, the color codings used by both products do not correspond. 4. The weight of each tube is marked on the Bodylastic tubes, with the Moutain product, I hand copy the weight of each color tube and tape it onto the tube myself. 5. The Bodylastic came with a big wall chart of exercise for posting on the wall. Hope this Helps.

The set I bought is different. They sure look similar. But the one you reference comes with a lot more attachments to the buckles.I bought the Black Mountain set. So it looks very similar, but I cannot tell you if they are the same as I have no experience with the "Body Bands."

I am very happy with these bands. They are holding up just fine. My son and I both use them several times a week.

Yes they are more stretchy, thinner & stickier/ tackier than your regular bands.

So far I have found that any resistance tube band will do, but they are easier to attach than they are to take off. Great workout!

Not sure if they are "layered" but are a solid band. I use them everyday and have had no issues with them - very strong product.A previous type I had from a different supplier did not last - they broke after a few uses - I use these ones 7 days a weekI am 6ft 4in 230 lbs - very little fat - so you can imagine that I put these bands through a tough workout! I am sure you will be satisfied with them!

Have the green, the description says the yellow is 5-10 lbs. you can increase the resistance by shortening up on the bands so I'm not sure how accurate that is.

I also haven't had a problem, neither with breakage nor stretching, and I use the colored bands exclusively. My original band is green, but I've been using the navy blue band as my go-to for a few months now. I think it's probably worth the expense of getting a new band and perhaps with each battery charge switching bands to give each a chance to rest between uses. Just a thought....

Hi Edison, maybe you are confused. The set you can take it and moved in the bag (included) is just 3.5 pounds. The resistance of tension of all 6 bands to do your workouts is 71 rounds each side. If you double the bands, the resistance is multiplied by two. Any other question that I can help you, just bring it. For more information you can visit bodylastics.com, thank you...

Just like a Weight. Bands create a resistance that causes the muscles to increase work effort to make the object move. I think bands place less counter force on the joints.

Marilyn - I'm not exactly sure of the thickness as it isn't stated by the vendor, but they are certainly a bit thicker than the name brand. I am touching both this one and the name brand right now. For what it's worth, I wouldn't even consider buying the name band any longer.

I found these to be comparable in effect to an abductor machine, but I've been using them with the Insanity: The Asylum v.2 workout. I haven't measured the actual resistance, but using them is no cakewalk. That said, I find myself using the Medium and Heavy bands exclusively, so the X-heavy might be better for more resistance.

It depends on your current level of fitness and what you're going to be using them for. If you plan to use them for pull-ups, since 130 is pretty light you might not need that much assistance. The green band, from what I understand, is for those who are particularly weak and/or are overweight. You may benefit more from getting the purple, black, and red bands as an alternative, which are the next size down.

You can definitely use these bands as rubber bands. They are a bit thicker and sturdier than the ordinary rubber bands. They seem to be indestructible and last indefinitely.

Yes, I use all different brands for my loom. They are all interchangeable. These bands are great, I bought them myself:)

You can always purchase different bands but I believe you will be satisfied with the bands that come on the chair for a long time. The instructor on the DVD shows different ways of moving your legs and/or arms so that you can increase the resistance. I think that will keep you happy for a long time before you will want to purchase stronger bands. I am 62. I do two of the exercise sessions in a row. I love this chair. I feels really great. Margie

I bought mine from wal-mart. They're the tube like ones with handles. You could adapt with any resistance band, really.
