Booty Band that goes around your thighs i just want to say that using this band has greatly improved my IT band pain. and just maybe 10 reps is sufficient. there are many uses of these booty bands: standing moves: squats, lunges, simple walking, side leg lift supine on the floor: butt lifts side-lying on the floor: leg lifts on one side the victorem bands is a set with 3 bands in 3 different strengths. the elasticity, which provides the resistance, is the same, but what gives it more resistance is the circumference of the band. the narrower the band (smaller circumference) the higher the resistance. they're comfortable and stay flat, and don't dig into your skin. i use the smallest and the mid-sized. the largest one is too wide, and i have yet to find a use for it.

I love this adjustable band for floor work. Being able to adjust perfectly for every exercise was a game changer

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...TEVKD8ZW&psc=1 Have you considered getting the Synergee latex bands? They are meant to last. From the reviews on Amazon, some people may have received bootlegs. If I go back to a rubber band, I think I would pay more for these and possibly purchase directly from the company. |

Thanks Barb, I like the look of those Tribe fabric bands. The Synergee ones appear to be mini bands which are not what I am looking for. I have some Perform better mini bands that I use for clamshells. I also found these latex ones that are wider and look like they won't roll up
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...3NAI6DWA&psc=1 I think I am going to buy both sets. Update: I received both sets yesterday and will try them out tomorrow. The tribe ones appear to be more challenging than what I want them for but I may be stronger than I think. I can always do less reps. |
