Stroops Toner Resistance Band

I was looking to replace my medium-strength resistance cord from Gaiam, and was thinking I was ready to step it up from medium to hard. So I bought the medium (red) and hard (blue) strengths of cord from this manufacturer. Well, they were MUCH harder than the ones I was used to from Gaiam, so I went ahead and got this light (yellow) one until I get strong enough to move on! This cord is extremely well made, with a covered cord. The handles are not cushioned, as the ones in the other strengths are, but that's a minor quibble. I look forward to doing my workouts with this strength and stepping it up as I get stronger! The cord is a length that allows me to do the workouts on the DVD from Gaiam (though I wasn't sure at first, because the medium strength one was so HARD!), if you're familiar with that. If you're not, some of the exercises have you standing on the center of the cord and pulling one or both sides up over your head, and other exercises have you using the cord folded in half and stretching it arms' width. I hope that gives you some idea of how far this cord stretches. Have fun and be safe!

This was exactly what I wanted, but I wish in the description they would use the color coding for the different strengths. At my gym we have yellow (light) red (medium) blue (strong) note; they are all black the color is just around the handles. The description just says black so I wasn’t sure which one to order as the lb resistance didn’t make any sense to me. I asked the trainers at my gym but they didn’t know either, so I ordered the medium strength and was happy when it arrived that is was the red one that I wanted. The only thing I would wish is that it had the foam around the handles like the ones at the gym which makes it more comfortable to use, but overall I am happy with the purchase.

I found this to be a great resistance band. it was strong and provided good resistance. It provided a great workout but it snapped after 2 months of usage (used it 2-3 times a week). Very disappointed that it didn't last 2 months.

I just had my right hip replacement.. My PT told me about your item. It’s perfect. Getting ready my left hip replacement surgery. I told my boss , about this he wanted one. So i bought him one and he really likes it as well. Thank you. Todd

The muscle toner are just as the seller described it they also work great. muscle toner are good for stretching and arm lift. I seen this at the gym and I want to make sure I get the muscle toner for home. It is a great workout. Thank you

I use resistance bands almost exclusively for lateral deltoid raises (both arms to the side while standing on the band) to get a solid burn and toning in between sets with dumbbells. My gym has a few, but they can be notoriously difficult to find, or suspiciously absent altogether. I had asked the crew what the resistance pounds were on the red ones, but no one could provide a reasonable response, so I had to kinda guess. I purchased a 20 lb band at Dick's which turned out to be way too stiff, but this medium band (16-20) is perfect. I can just get my arms slightly above shoulder height with the elbows locked. The construction looks and feels very sturdy, from the nylon sleeve, handles, and especially the rubber wraps below each handle. I've had other supposedly good bands snap at the base of the handle, but I don't sense any risk with the Stroops.

Or just do your PT or trainer exercises at home with. It's so compact I just put it in a drawer out of the way when I'm not using it. Seems very sturdy & well-made.

Great all around band.Resistance is perfect, handles are comfortable, and most importantly I am not worried about the band breaking.

Pessima valutazione in quanto è arrivato un elastico verde invece di rosso che sono stato costretto a tenere per motivi di tempo (fra restituzione e nuovo arrivo se ne sarebbero andate le vacanze in cui dovevo usare l'elastico) e cosi mi sono dovuto arrangiare

Prodotto perfetto come da descrizione,materiale molto resistente,professionale, anche per fare fisioterapia alla spalla.la spedizione con Amazon è prime è sempre una certezza.
