Product Review - Resistance Bands

Well what can I say about bands?  Beachbody sells them and I have bought some but I don’t really use them a lot.   Sure, you can get a good workout with bands but I prefer knowing what weight I am actually using.  Gives me something more concrete to measure when tracking results.  I used to use bands for a long time to simulate pull ups but have since managed to get a setup in my basement to allow me to do real pull ups.  Real pull ups are far superior to using a band in my opinion.  The bands sold by Beachbody are good quality bands but they can be found in stores for far less than Beachbody charges.  I just compared a pink band on Beachbody’s website to one of my favorite stores, Fitness Depot.  The same band at fitness depot is 1/3 the price.  If you want to get a Beachbody program and need the equipment, and you like one stop shopping, by all means get it all from Beachbody.  In my experience their products are good.  If you want to save a few bucks, shop around.  Just make sure you are getting a good quality product.  There are lots of not so good products out there that are cheap (See my first attempt at getting some med balls for an example).
