Even though I eventually stopped using it, this had absolutely nothing to do with the product - it is a very good exercise band, from a very good company ! Recommended . . .

I use it for toning and conditioning. A+

While the product itself may be of good quality, the band failed one day after the return cutoff date. The cause of the failure is the way it was "folded" to fit into the packaging. When removing the Theraband from the package, there were discolorations and permanent creases in the band at each point where it had been folded. I did my best to "work the kinks out," but the integrity of the band was compromised at each fold point. I have attached a couple of pics that highlight the creases as well as the failure point. If you should purchase this product be sure to inspect it as soon as you remove it from the package.

It is made well and works great, the only downside is it did not come with any e book exercise instructions on how to use it. So far I figured out standing on it and doing forward and reverse curls, and clean and jerks pulling it hard up over my head. Also I wrap it around my french curl door handles and pull it towards me facing the door, then I turn around with my back to the door and pull forward with a punching forward motion. To get a pull done motion I found a large bicycle hook, screwed it into a stud in the ceiling and and use that to pull down forward and reverse curls with. The more I use it the more exercises I figure out.

I purchased the green one--"heavy", which should mean it provides "heavy" resistance. It does not--it is much too flimsy and stretchy. It is a standard length, meaning a tall person could hold it at each end and stretch it across but it is so flimsy it would provide no resistance. I thought of trying one of the sizes offering more resistance but why throw good money after bad? I dropped it in my Goodwill bag. BTW I am a 65-year old average-framed woman, hardly a body builder!
