From reading the description, they seem to be all the same resistance. I like these loop bands and I can double them if I need to. Not a dumb question.

Yeah I thought it sounded like they might be the same resistance but thought I would check. I have one I do like from a previous kit. Yes doubling them up makes sense. Thank you for your response.

Too bad I missed the deal. Not worth $99.99

Thanks - perhaps people can describe how Amazon flags a "Lightning Deal" because the listing in Amazon is quite long with all of the images, and when you scroll all over the place, it's easy to get lost. or did you need to add it to your cart to get the $24.99?

Is there a way to get alerts on Lightning Deals these days?

at the time I clicked on the link the $99 price was showing but was somehow "greyed out" i.e., unclear of how to add to a cart. this is from a laptop if that makes a difference - perhaps from a phone it might render differently.

i'll wait until just the DVDs are available - I have tons of equipment. or if anyone knows if just the DVDs are available for purchase, please post a link.

I just received my order. There actually is a slight difference in the resistance bands I received. Not much, but there is a difference. Grey feels the lightest, followed by yellow and then red with somewhat heavier resistance then the others. They all have 7 rings and are the same length. I tried to use 2 bands together for heavier resistance, and it actually works very well. I haven't tried any of the workouts yet, and I haven't tried the yellow flat band that came with it. I have gazillion other bands that I like, so I may just leave it wrapped. So far, I'm very happy with my purchase - even if I didn't really need it. It was worth 24.99 for sure, but definitely not worth $99.99.

QVC has just put this on sale for $47.13. I don’t know how long it will be available at that price, but it might be worth keeping an eye on to see if the Rakuten rebate goes up. I might order a second set.

Mine will be here Thursday (along with the Beetlejuice soundtrack bc obviously why not?? ). I had enough rewards points that I didn't have to pay for them so that was part of what enabled me. I definitely would not have paid $99!!!

Oh that's good to know thanks. I really like the ringed band I have but being able to double up would be nice. I too have a gazillion bands but well you know how it goes. I'll keep my eye out for a deal again.

is 90 minutes the total content of the workouts (20 + 30 + 40 min)?

Yes, bzar - that’s correct, although the first workout actually runs 24 minutes and the 30-minute workout is 33 minutes.
