Resistance Bands for Working Out — 5-Level Bands for Working Out, Fitness, Exercise, & Stretching with Door Anchor — TA2 Bodyshock Program for Weight Loss, Fat Burning, & Body Toning — Undersun

Quick note - I have not received any compensation in products or anything on monetary value for writing this review. I want to express how incredibly impressed I am with this product and hope to encourage others to ditch the gym and look at working out as a part of a lifestyle. This product fits the bill very nicely.Absolutely fantastic. I’ve been lifting and visiting the gym since I was a teen. Over 20 years later, I still exercise regularly. I’ve gotten tired of heading to the gym, fighting for equipment, and not always seeing results. With COVID, the gym has been shut down. I wanted an inexpensive solution that was easy to use, worked my body efficiently, and a space saver.This product fully delivers. After only a few days, I can confidently say I am overwhelmed with this product.The advantages of this product are numerous:1. Lightweight2. Easy to use3. Extremely adjustable4. Affordable5. Provide a great workout6. Extremely versatileThe associated workout TA2 plan shows how to use the bands properly. Before I bought these bands, I though getting a single band with grips would be easier to use. The instructor for the classes explains that having a circular band give a lot more ability to define the exact amount of resistance required, whereas handles and a single portion of a band actually reduces the flexibility of the device to meet the resistance needs. Additionally, he discusses how using traditional weights allows people to “cheat” by using momentum to drive movements which makes things easier at the top of the movement. With bands, the resistance is greatest when the band is stretched making things HARDER when you reach the maximum exertion. In short, it really helps the “pump” in the workout.I’m still working my way through the beginner exercises in the program. I wish there were a few more ab and lower body exercises tossed into the regular mix, but they are there.It’s also important to not that the edges of the bands are a little tough. The trainer in the videos uses gloves and I recently purchased a pair and plan on using them.I’m also excited to begin to break out and add some of these exercises to a more robust plan - for instance, jogging or biking to a park and then breaking out the bands to do an exercise routine, then hopping right back into more cardio.One other thing to mention is that the bands allow you to work out anywhere and the associated videos have workouts that are about 30 minutes long. The time I’m saving just driving to and from the gym is about 30 minutes - this product will save me a lot of time and money.

I've been using these bands for a couple years. They are life changing. You can have no extra space to workout in and still get a complete workout in--in 15 minutes. You can absolutely get your heartrate up and get a legit pump. While also developing functional strength.Seriously, the mental benefits alone from being able to keep working out make these bands worth the price of admission.In fact, I like it more than using machines or free weights. Free weights, seems like you have a greater potential for injury, and you're limited by the numbers on the weights. And you need space / gym membership / bound by gym hours / wasted travel time....Machines do too much of the work for you, robbing you of functional strength, building your core/stabilization muscles.Whereas these bands are extremely portable and high quality. And they teach you to improve your form over time. I can honestly say using these bands has made me healthier and happier.Undersun Fitness & James Grage's youtube channel has some workouts I use.My current faves:"Build a BIG CHEST with Resistance Bands Only!" ,"Awesome Resistance Bands Core Exercise: Woodchoppers" ,"Awesome At-Home Back Workout Using Resistance Bands" ,"Training Abs With Resistance Bands"These aren't paper-thin Physical Therapy generic fitness brands, you can do legit strength training w these.You can loop the band thru itself or use the included door anchor to mount the band to doors, poles, stand on the band yourself,--there's plenty of techniques.(I personally prefer the simpler, old school door anchor, that's just a foam cylinder with a loop on the other end of the strap, you can get these for under $10, but the included door anchor works fine, just I don't use the rest of the straps)What's great about these bands, you control how much of a pump you're gonna get. If you want more resistance you grab earlier in the band, if you're gassing out, you can let go of some of the band.You get eccentric resistance. The band provides continuous resistance going forward and back, so you're getting more out of each rep.There's various thicknesses included. I'm a fan of the Heavy and Medium bands, but you get the whole set here, so pretty much everyone is covered.I throw the Heavy and Medium bands in a drawstring gym bag with some headphones and workout gloves, and hang them wherever.I'd recommend getting the undersun gloves as well, since the one downside w the bands is it can be rough on your hands without gloves. You can use full-fingered work gloves if you want.My current workout,First, I'll mount the door mount below hip height and do preacher curls facing the door.Then I'll face away from the door and work my chest by pushing the band up and forward above my head.Then I'll stand parallel to the band, facing my upper body towards the door and rotate until my upper body is perpendicular to the door, --these "woodchoppers" really strengthen your core.Then I'll mount the door anchor above my head and place my hands over my head, round my back, and do crunches using the bands overhead to create resistance.If I only have 15 minutes, I'll do a set of 20-30 reps. If I have 45 minutes, I'll do 2 or 3 sets of 20 reps.Truthfully, if you choose to go slowly and keep yourself in tension, you don't really need to do more than 1 or 2 sets....I'll sometimes do longer sets just to get out of my head for a bit, lol, like a meditation. But you don't need to do more than 2 sets, and there's probs less benefits if you overtrain.I noticed functional gains in strength in a couple of days, coming off a severe injury.But, use common sense. Always listen to your body, and give yourself time to recover and get stronger....Longer term, you can legit sculpt yourself.I never came anywhere close to the level of functional strength going to physical therapy and using the paper-thin bands, or using machines.These bands force you to use your whole core/stabilization muscles which directly translates to a more functional body.The Undersun Fitness / James Grage youtube channel will thoroughly explain everything. A lot of the videos are under 5 minutes long.You can use the app too, I couldn't figure it out and, amazingly, when I emailed support, they figured it out for me in one business day.I still prefer youtube, just because it's easier to jump from my music playlists to my workout playlists, etc.Anyway, I've become an evangelist for these bands. The proof is in the results and how you feel. Probs the best return on investment you can make if you set aside the time to watch maybe 30minutes of youtube vids in the beginning, and plan a workout, --then do it, even two times a week would make a difference.I feel better physically and mentally. Thanks undersun!

Really glad we went with Undersun Fitness, as I wanted to use bands for a while, but also wanted guidance in how to use them properly, to get the best results! Starting with their TA2 Bodyshock program has been perfect for me to achieve this, and I’m glad to see they offer other programs to continue my workouts, if I’d like to try something new. My husband already bought himself a set and is enjoying their “Build” program. He is pretty happy with how it’s been giving him a workout, but is easy on the joints! The bands seem really durable, and I enjoy how versatile they can be during a workout. My husband has put his through quite some tests and is happy to see them put up with all the stretching without issues, so far. Finally, and very important to me, is that the company has shown really attentive customer service with our questions and when needing help logging into their new workout app! We enjoy the ease of use to have our workout on our phones to take anywhere, so we are excited to see this happen! 5 stars well earned - Thanks again Undersun Fitness!

Easy to setup , durable, it works great.

I use to go to the gym 3 times a week before the pandemic started. That came to an end about a year ago for me. I stopped exercising entirely and unfortunately, how I eat was not helping the way I envisioned myself looking. I needed something I could do at home that, didn’t take up hours, and worked for my busy schedule. Undersun fitness checked all of those boxes for me. Everything you see in the picture came with my order and a kick ass program. THIS WORKOUT PROGRAM WILL CHALLENGE YOU!! In a good way of course. It really works you out, and I honestly think anyone can do it. I was so out of shape, and two weeks in I feel like I’m already getting stronger. The even started carrying of the bands to work just to get in some activity on the go. If your looking for a full body work out with results you can see in a short amount of time (if you’re follow the program), if you want to challenge yourself, if you want to be in the best shape you can achieve, buy this program!! The trainers are amazing and motivating and will keep you pushing your body for great results.

I received the product after a couple of days. The bands are great, but the delivered goods didn't include three items that are advertised in the product description:1. Complete 90-day training program2. Access to video content only3. Undersun Drawstring BagI believe items 1 and 2 are some kind of code/token to use online, but the I just got an empty envelop with a place where i imagine the card/code would be included. I contacted Amazon to ask to send the missing code/token, but i was communicated it's not possible. I would have to request a full refund, and buy it again, to try to solve the issue... and that doesn't make any sense.I am disappointed with the result, specially because it is not a cheap product.

I am so pleased to have received these, the Quality appears to be excellent, I have used other Bands and they were definitely not as good as these, in many ways superior to Dumbells etc , as whichever Band you pick up, you can easily adjust the weight (resistance) simply by your hand positioning or where you stand relative to the Anchor point ... Can be used singly or put multiple Bands together for huge resistance ...Great for building Muscle or Toning,Home or Travel use ...Great Community with Undersun on FB or IG

I'm a senior with a very sendentary computer based day job.For the last year, I've really focused on aerobic training, but wanted to add some serious strength training as well tomy regimen.I didn't want to go to the gym, and in fact due to Covid19 they aren't open here anyway.I also didn't want the expense or have the space in my house for a lot of weights and other pricey fitness equipment.All of this is what lead me to select home based resistance training.And the many videos and variety of programs is what lead to select Undersun Bands and one of their training programs specifically.I absolutely, and thrilled with my choice.The bands are fantastic quality. I've been using them for over 4 weeks. I expect they'll last for years. They are solid.And the workout programs are excellent as well.They are showing me what to do, step by step, day by day, week by week, and month by month.Some of the benefits of bands are they are easy on my joints, I'm not getting injured, as the varying resistance levels mean there is a resistance level that will work for everyone.After just 4 weeks, I'm both feeling and seeing a difference.Thank you Undersun for the great product.

Great quality product that allows you to do a range of exercises in the comfort of your own home. Been a godsend during lockdown
