Gaiam Restore Resistance Band Stretching

Was searching for a nice band or strap just to aid my yoga/pilates/stretching moves, but this one is way more than that. It's got little foot/hand pocket spaces in it that make holding on super easy with different resistance levels, all in one item. You can slip your hand or foot into whichever loops you like and stretch that way, or you can just put the whole band over your foot and do it that way. For your arms, hold the farthest ends for a gentle stretch, or moves your hands in closer to the middle for strength building. Very cool tool. And, it's long enough to accommodate anyone's reach or intention. As with most Gaiam products, reasonably priced, too. Super nice way to complete my yoga/Pilates set up!

I wasn't sure I would like the hoops but I found I do use them especially if my muscles are very sore or tight. They used a strap similar to this as an aide during post surgery recovery to help a person get out of bed, lift their leg, and for safety guard against falls. It is a strong strap and I can get deep stretches with the hamstrings and other major muscles in my arm and legs. I keep it by the couch and will use it while reading or watching tv.

This strap is great for stretching. Made with quality materials, has a great design and is very sturdy. I also love the color. It’s Also not too heavy so you can pack it and travel with it as well!

I did not keep this resistant band model --- am early in use of this type of item, so possibly may consider it again at some point. Haven`t decided just yet --- doing other work-out resistant/strength things right now.

Love the flexibility of how many ways this can be used to exercise. I am a senior with severe back issues so I needed something I could use on arms and legs while sitting. This allows for that and you can choose the loop that gives you the resistance you need.

I needed an elastic band for some yoga flex and deeper stretching and this seemed to fit the bill. It’s an elastic band, what could be that great or bad, right? The extra segments are a clever way to add resistance or change how to stretch and flex, and I appreciate that this adds some extra value in what was otherwise just a simple need. Easy to hold and use, the material has decent pliability, and it works well for my needs.

This inexpensive band combined with a YouTube stretching video has significantly improved my back pain. Only takes 5 minutes or less of stretching for it to work. I highly recommend this.

I bought this to get me through some home PT after knee surgery. It works great and can also be used for general fitness exercises. My husband uses, it, too. Thanks.
