“You’re bound to lose control when the rubberband starts to jam”
Nice set of bands for PT, assistive stretching and overall resistance training. For those new to this gear or have only seen it hanging in a therapy clinic, you’re not going to find anything labeled for beginners or advanced. This is it, the ubiquitous resistance band kit with varying strengths. There are no instructions included but the internet is littered with various use cases and related exercises. Search resistance exercises for if that helps.I will add I’m 99% certain there was a previous photo posted in the listing showing a much larger carabiner affixed to the purple strap. I even thought I took a snapshot of it. This is why I posted the photos showing the included carabiner with the purple and black straps. An oversight that seemingly was corrected so I’m not going to gig the product for it — it’s just that when I first laid everything out, that smaller clip looked odd and weak. I guess it still does but works fine with the smaller two strengths. You can do without them and just slip the smaller bands through the handle rings or straps then back through itself. But it’s a moot point as all size bands are easily managed with your bare or gloved hands.Even if you prefer not to train with this equipment regularly, it is a good kit to have on hand for gradual recovery from injury. And while the included massage ball looks like it would feel like a thorny chestnut shell, it is actually quite soothing, especially massaging the plantar fasciitis.Good set of resistance bands from CS-US. Stretch ’em out while jamming to The Spinners and be The Rubberband Man.

Versatile and effective strength and flexibility equipment.
With 5 bands where the force goes from about 10 lbs to well over 100 lbs, this set provides a tremendous amount of flexibility. I have been using bands for over a decade, since I had to rehab a shoulder injury, but these easier to use than previous bands. The handles, attached with carabiners make the grip comfortable. There are many different ways to use the set. Whether adding to other exercise equipment or starting out, this is an economical way to go.

Simple, Inexpensive Tools for Exercise
I like the thickness/gauge of the bands. They work well using the handles that are included. But just by themselves can hurt your hands after a while because of their sharp, square edges. I like that they have various weights attached to them rather than just being different colors. The red ball was cheap. hard plastic and not really useful at all. It would have been nice if they had included a diagram sheet to illustrate how to use the bands for various exercises. Also, instructions on how to attach the bands to the handles rather than having to guess!

Too many issues to recommend this set of exercise bands
I cannot recommend this set of resistance bands for a number of reasons.First, the images on Amazon show the bands with a resistance pressure/weight on each one. Those numbers are not on the actual bands. It is obvious, of course, that thinner bands will have less resistance, but the appearance is misleading.Second, there are no instructions at all included. So a newbie to this type of workout has to look online to get the visual cues that would have been provided in basic instructions.Third, the handles and clips for the bands feel flimsy. I could hear the handles creaking and beginning to bend under the pressure of moderate pressure. The clips not only are cheap and tiny, there is a sharp edge at the point of the clip where you have to attach it to the band. I found I could not attach to black, purple, or green bands without having the clip bite into my thumb as I pressed down on the clip. I had a set of much better handles and clips I am using, and you may be able to see in the photo the difference in size.Finally, the hard knobbed ball is pretty painful, and I think that it is a cheap plastic version of a rubber ball that would work much better.
