Arena Strength Booty Bands

These came up in my Instagram feed:

https://arenastrength.com/

I'm interested because I'm supposed to be doing PT monster walks and crab walks with a theraband around my thighs, but I don't do them because of the painful digging.

Supposedly the fabric doesn't roll and dig into your thighs. Anybody know if this is true?

I have similar ones Pat, bought them on amazon. They are way more comfortable to use, don’t pull on your skin.

Sounds promising! I hate bands that dig and roll!

But I will say, the superfluous cheek shots turned me off. I guess I'm not their target marketing demographic...

Yep, I used similar bands for Beachbody 80 Day Obsession and they don't pinch like the latex bands, much more comfortable!

Agree the butt-boobs were a bit much

I think these have been mentioned in the past in resistance loops threads because they are on my amazon fitness wishlist (and usually things end up on my wishlist after hearing them mentioned in a thread here):

Tribe Lifting Resistance Hip Bands
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079G8TP1F

Victorem Booty Resistance Workout Hip Exercise Bands
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074S89V86

Booty Resistance Workout Hip Exercise Bands (set of 3) by BTX15
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CYLG93N

4KOR Fitness Resistance Loop Band Set
https://www.amazon.com/4KOR-Fitness-.../dp/B07B9NXNK8

Motivated Fitness Thigh - Hip - Booty Exercise Bands (these were mentioned that they began fraying at the seams)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LY0G0L5

It also appears you can get the set of Arena Strength Booty Bands for $43.00 on amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/Resistance-Pe...dp/B07D7KX9PX/

I added resistance loops as a tag search at the bottom of this thread because there have been several threads that discuss both the fabric type loops listed above vs. the rubbery/latex-y kind. Even among the rubbery-latex loops, there are some that are better reviewed than others as far as rolling or staying put.

Sorry I have no direct experience with any of these.

i have this one and i started a thread about it here:
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
