TheraBand Tubing with Handles are made from high quality natural rubber latex perfect for upper & lower body exercises, conditioning & rehabilitation and are a great alternative to free weights & dumbbells. The included handles or cuffs make it easy to use for a variety of upper & lower body workouts. TheraBand Professional Latex Resistance Tubing is available in 7 color-coded levels of resistance. Different resistance levels are determined by thickness of the tubing. Proper use of these systems for resistive exercise provides both positive and negative force on the muscles, improving strength, range of motion and cooperation of muscle groups. Color-coded progressive resistance gives at-a-glance documentation of progress from one level to the next.
However the tube looks and feel very new without any dents (like my red one that I bought from another company) so it “feels” li I bought a few TheraBand Tubings (of different resistance) from different companies and this is the only one with shorter tube and harder handle. I don’t mind it too much but it does feel a bit awkward as it is so short. I am 5 ft 5 tall. However the tube looks and feel very new without any dents (like my red one that I bought from another company) so it “feels” like it will last a long time.
Great device. It woks great but the resistance on the tubing should be higher. I shortened the length, made two tubes and twisted the tubes together. Tension is now about right. Next time I order I’ll get the higher tension.
Does the job for me Pros: Adequate in quality & length, as advertised and works fine for a physical therapy regimen.Cons: PVC handles are a little small in diameter. Larger diameter handles would be more efficient & comfortable for exercises.As with all exercise equipment use caution, be safe and be sure to check for wear of the tubing and replace it when necessary. Works fine for its purpose and a worthwhile buy.
