## Description

desertcart.com: Serious Steel Fitness 12 inch Band Light Set (#0, #1, #2) : Sports & Outdoors

Review: Great for adding weight to dumbbells. Red band perfect for this! - These came quickly and well packaged with no signs of being used. Tension and material feel very quality and these are great. While I don’t use them for workouts by themselves, I do use them for adding weights to dumbbells at planet fitness, and they hold up and keep the tension great for that purpose. 75 lb dumbbells turned into 95 lb dumbbells easily. Good value for the money I’d buy again! The red band works great for this purpose. These could probably even keep tension for higher amount of weight added. A+
Review: Quality bands for a variety of workouts - I bought the set of three bands, and I really love them. I use all of them in a variety of different workouts. I train at the gym a lot and I'm experienced in using resistance bands for hip stability/strength training. Here are my best tips for using the bands: The PURPLE band offers a good amount of resistance when it is wrapped around ankles. It is suitable for lying down hip abduction, and other on-the-floor exercises. It is also good for monster walks (band around ankles). The RED band is best used above knees, for standing up exercises such as one-leg Romanian deadlift, or weighted squats. It is also suitable for reverse flutter kicks when lying on your stomach (glutes), and offers more challenge in monster walks (band above knees) The BLUE band is heavy duty, and it is best above knees in hip thrusts, both off the ground and with your back on a bench. It also offers an optimal challenge when doing unweighted or light squats, and can therefore be used for warmup before heavier sets. Overall, these bands are all you need for effective hip and glute strength/stability training. The durability and resistance is much better than the 5-band sets on desertcart (as these bands are thinner), hence the higher price. I would recommend this for someone who already has some experience of resistance bands and is looking for more challenge. The assume that the green band must be very heavyweight. I have one heavier band from another manufacturer, and I barely use it, except for unweighted hip thrusts. The resistance is too high to use for other types of exercises.

## Features

- YOU ARE VIEWING: 12” #0,1,2 Band Set. Beginner 3-Band Set
- DYNAMIC MOVEMENTS: The 12” Short Mini Bands are the original dynamic warmup tool. Place around thighs, knees or ankles and perform lateral walks, monster walk, heel/toe walks for a glute and hip flexor firing warm up. Prepare for injury free work out with these mini bands.
- DURABLE: These are not the thin mini loop bands that are known for snapping and breaking. These bands are thick and extremely durable. In addition to being durable, the amount of resistance these band provide are unmatched by the flimsy mini loop bands.
- PORTABLE: Aside from helping you warm up, you can use these mini bands for a complete workout, just about anywhere. Lower body movements like air squats, dead lifts (need a pair), glute bridges, hip thrusts, core work, tricep and bicep movements and even shoulder stability and mobility. Easy to pack and easy to use.
- BUY A PAIR: Purchase two (2) bands if you plan on using these for banded barbell powerlifting training.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good strong and thick product
*by R***E on February 26, 2018*

Got the 12 inch BIG green one. I was looking for something like my gym has abs it looked good and thick. I didn’t realize it would be too good for me lol. Hopefully gonna work into this band. Very strong, thick and definitely like the gym brand, only more resistance as I can barely move it lol. But like I said im gonna work toward being able to actually use it. Gonna purchase the next size down, as the quality is unsurpassed compared to the other flimsy ones i tried buying. Definitely a good strong product
