My journey to discovering and purchasing a set of Bodylastics resistance bands began with an infomercial for the P90x Extreme Home Fitness Program. I wanted to get in amazing shape so I ordered it to see if it really worked.

I needed something for the weight lifting part of the P90x, so my options were to get dumbbells or exercise bands. I was looking for something that was in my price range, so I decided to go with bands. I needed ones that could give me a wide range of stresses, be affordable of course, and last a long time. Searching online led me to Bodylastics.

I’ve had my set of exercise bands for two years, so I’ve had plenty of time to use and test them. You can read my review below.

In the package I bought there were four different latex bands, each with different weights. There was a 5, 7, 13, and 19 pound band, as well as a door anchor, two handles, and two ankle straps. The bands have carabiner clips attached so they can be easily hooked onto the handles. You can use any combination of bands. This makes it possible to create a variety of resistance levels, from 5 to 44 pounds per handle.

Because they are made from natural latex, I was concerned about how long they would last with regular use. I have had some made by different companies that broke in a week. I am happy to report that after two years and many workouts, nothing has been broken or broken. They seem quite durable and well made. And, if a part does break, I am comforting to know that they come with a lifetime warranty. All I need to do to have a replacement shipped is to contact Bodylastics and pay $ 5.95 for the replacement cost.

Probably my favorite part about them is the fact that there are tons and tons of different exercises that you can do. The door anchor and even the ankle straps open up many different exercises. Lots of variety makes them interesting and fun to use.
