Very advanced level exercisers may need a set with greater resistance.  Having said that, I’ve been using mine for years and I haven’t outgrown them.

In this ProSource Resistance Bands Set review, we will look at a general overview.  We will also discuss the set’s pros and cons and what purchasers are saying about it to help you decide if it will suit your needs.

Final Thoughts on the ProSource Resistance Bands Set

ProSource Resistance Bands are compact, lightweight, and inexpensive.  You can leave a couple in your desk drawer at work or take them along with you when you travel to get in some toning and strengthening exercises whenever you have some free time.

Ideal for people of any age and fitness level, beginners can start their strength or resistance toning workout using the yellow band (least resistance) and work their way up through the other colors as they become stronger.

Whether you want to use resistance bands as your sole toning tool or you plan on using them to add variety to your current exercise program, regularly using a quality set such as this one will get you the desired results.

With only one band able to be attached to the handles, the maximum possible resistance attainable will be 16 to 20 lbs (when using the black band).  So if you want to get really buff, you will not be able to do so using these bands alone.

If you’re looking for a set of resistance bands that will provide a more challenging workout, take a look at the Black Mountain Products Resistance Bands Set.  (Click the previous link to read a review.)
