ecoZen Lifestyle Booty Bands with Adjustable Belt | 3 Adaptable Levels of Resistance | Unique Sauna Stimulus Technology | Ideal Resistance Bands for Legs and Butt | Fast Visible Result

I ended up buying this product because the two other similar products I had intended to purchase first were both out of stock. This product was a little less expensive, and so I was a little hesitant to buy this, since as we all know, 'you get what you pay for.' But, I just received it today, and used it tonight, and my first impression is very positive! As soon as I took it out of the bag, I had an immediate impression of quality and durability. It seems to be made VERY heavy-duty, to the point where I have almost no concerns of it breaking or snapping in any way. I just can't imagine that happening. The velcro on the waist belt and the ankle straps seem very heavy-duty too, hopefully will also hold up.I went to the link referenced on the paper that came with the belt and was able to access the exercise guide with some suggested moves, and decided to give it a go. No time like the present, right?The waist and the ankle belts were, indeed, padded for comfort (as the listing boasts, accurately it turns out), and I had no discomfort during the entire work out. Well, except the discomfort you EXPECT from working out some muscles that you haven't been! It was pretty easy to use the carabiners to snap the resistance bands on and off (I had to stop twice in the midst of this short workout courtesy of one of my dogs deciding to get down next to my head and puke up dinner).As far as resistance, since some have said they didn't feel there was enough resistance, (I'm 5'6" by the way) I felt that with some of the moves there was plenty of resistance, but in other positions, there could be a little more. But the instructions tell you you can fasten both straps to one foot if you want to increase resistance, so I tried this out and it did indeed feel like the perfect resistance then. Which is less convenient for switching reps from one leg to the other, granted. And as the workout went out, I was starting to feel the burn more to the point where I just had one strap on each foot, and it was plenty. So... *shrug* I don't have a solid answer. For me, this will be fine I think. I can fasten both straps to one foot if I need to. But for now I will just use it as originally intended.But the bottom line is, as a workout, it felt good by the end of it. I wasn't dying or in pain, but I think that's the point of resistance band based workouts, too. As far as the product, it sees to be really high quality, and I'm really happy I went ahead and purchased it!

I bought this a while ago but found not so useful for exercise, it caused uncomfortable feeling on the waist

The set I received has black bands which I think is the equivalent of heavy resistance maybe 50 lbs. I’m a trainer and use these with clients. The bands are maybe 15” long and it takes a lot of strength and proper form to use. I’m 5’3” and I can’t stand up with the bands attached.I’ve read negative comments on reviews for this product. These people must have received the light bands (5lbs) or they aren’t using properly.We all love these and we now have four sets!!!Buy the one with the black straps and hang on! Great butt and gut workout!!

I really like how you can improvise with this product. Not only do I use it as instructed, I also take the straps and attach them to my squat rack bar and my leg and I've instantly got a new work out (leg pulls). So far it's holding up. I've had this for a couple months now and use it at least twice a week and there doesn't seem to be any wear and tear yet.I'm giving it 4 stars for now because the black bands just don't have enough tension for me. And this is because I've been working out and lifting weights for a few yrs now. The black ones seem like they would be great for begginers. Luckily, I suspected such and ordered this with the stronger gray bands as well. For some workouts, the gray bands alone are enough. But usually I attach both colors to one leg. Other than that, it's great. I'll raise my review to 5 stars if ecoZen ever ends up making an even stronger band that I can upgrade to.

I was so hopeful with these booty bands, but unfortunately, they just aren’t strong enough in resistance to really make much of a difference in muscle strength, and that’s with both bands being used on one leg. I’m not sure how they got so highly rated, but if you’re looking to increase the size and firmness significantly within a reasonable amount of time, these aren’t for you. They definitely aren’t for someone who is already in shape, as it really won’t be anywhere near the resistance level you’d need to make it worthwhile. Other than that, it’s very well made and seems like a high quality product in terms of materials and design, but the only ones who should buy this product are absolute beginners to working out who are new to resistance training and people who only want to have slight toning results, definitely not for anyone trying to gain mass and shape. Disappointed with this product.

I'm a 5'5" woman with a long torso and short legs. I wanted to like this so badly. It was a good price for a portable workout that I can do while being horizontal, not vertical (this is preferable due to a medical condition I have.)One problem is that I just cannot get this to fit my body in any way that gives me decent resistance. I tried their suggestions for increasing resistance for shorter people like myself, but they just caused discomfort. The cords stretch against my clothes too hard, they make my muscles not want to move naturally, and the waste band basically chokes my stomach.The next problem is the discomfort. I expected to have resistance pressure on the bottom of my feet. No, the cords pull from the back of the ankle, behind the achilles tendon, so all the pressure pulls from a spot that you normally cannot pull anything from. It also creates less distance between the hooks on the resistance band, compounding my short person problem. I think that if they would redesign this so that the band split on one end and strapped to both sides of the foot that this product would have a lot of potential. The resistance needs to come from the bottom of the foot, that's all there is to it.I really like the pink latex resistance band that came with this kit though. I like it better than my other resistance bands. I get a better work out wrapping it around my ankles and walking sideways around the house.
