Sure, the bands are not as expensive as the original exercise belts and one also gets the same 2 starches having delivered what I find very positive, but one should rather spend a few more euros and buy a resistance band. Not only did the tapes really incredible stink of rubber and the smell does not go even after repeated washing of the hands. These tapes are with her 150cm simply too short, if you, like me, is 1,78m tall. And if you want to use this with the described "door anchor", they are not longer usable! I think then to use as well as for smaller people hardly. So my tip: rather spend a bit more money and buy the original, as I now unfortunately also have to do afterwards, because the bands Hudora not meet my needs! Otherwise: Thumbs up for the training effect of these rubber bands!
