I opted for the 5,50m version since this was only slightly more expensive than the addition of 2.50m variant. This one has the possibility the band be divided into two 2.75m. Degrees if you are 2,75m tall better than 2.50m or even 2.00m which are also commercially available. Since such a tape is not for eternity anyway harms it not to have one in reserve. For me it is also sent to a have lying at home and one I have in a cloth bag in my gym bag here.
The exercise manual which is also available from Thera-Band is not here but that does not matter because you continue this can free download from the manufacturer's website as a PDF file in this package.
Do not be surprised if the brand new band "dusty" looks! The tapes are dusted. Thus, the plastic does not stick together and the band will last longer. Lt. Instructions should be the band also nachpudern sometime. I do this simply with baby powder. All 2 or 3 months I wash the strips and powder Readjust. Despite lively use are with me both bands not yet been damaged or torn.
To select the color you should before buying one time have had in his hand a band and thus do an exercise as suggested by the manufacturer 15x clean. Then you can assess whether the color is right or not. Among the weights (eg 1.8kg at an elongation of 100% at the red band) I personally could not imagine a lot to me.
I advise Finally it from "replicas" to buy. I had in front of it a no-name band and this has held only a few months. Moreover, in this elasticity was not as uniform as the Thera-Band.
