A good basic manual for anyone who is into using the rubber band (tube) exercise equipment.
I have been into all kinds of exercise and fitness programs (weight training, spring and rubber expanders, stretching programs, circuit programs, Military fitness routines, HIIT systems, Karate-do, Judo, Jujitsu and numerous others) for more than 60 years. I am always interested in learning about some new twist on working out. When I saw this 139 page soft cover volume (Rubber Band Workout: The breakthrough exercise program that firms and tones in a fraction of the usual time by Tamilee Webb) on Amazon for a bargain price I purchased it.First off, there are numerous rubber band tube exercise brands and types on the market. This book focuses on the single and double hand held models with various lengths and widths. Even though I was quite familiar with many of the exercises shown in this book; nevertheless, I did find this text interesting and informative. This volume is filled with clear black and white photographs showing the exercise movements and has a suggested beginner (8 to 12 reps each) program and an advanced (12 to 16 reps) repetitions workout.This book is organized into three areas: The first part covers the introduction to the rubber band workout and how it works. The second part focuses on the basics of the rubber band workout and shows numerous exercises. The final part shows five specific rubber band workout programs for the beginner to the very advanced. It is important to note that this program not only includes using the rubber bands but also how to do other exercises for a total fitness approach to fitness.I found this book to be very interesting and easy to follow if you are into using the rubber band type of equipment shown in this book.Rating: 4 Stars.

EXCELLENT RESULTS
I got muscle cuts within 2 weeks. The exercises work only if you follow the instructions. Be sure to read EVERY page before you begin your workout. You will be sorry if you don't.

Original and dynamite
I now own a lot of resistance training books of various sorts - using dumb-bells, or the thera-band. This book is unique, the only one I found using large rubber bands (I didn't even know such things existed). I had hesitated to buy this book because of the reviewers who said the rubber bands were harsh in thier hands. When I got the book and tried the exercises I found there was absolutely no discomfort from using the bands without gloves, that was a relief. In addition, I LOVE the exercises, they somehow get at muscles in a different way than other methods. The exercises are well explained and the photographs make it easy to see exactly how to do each one. This book is among my favorites. I did not want to use the order form for new bands at the back of the book because I was afraid prices might have gone up or something since the book was published, so I did a web search on SPRI Rubber Band and found a site called LeighCrews.com, or DynaLife (it's connected somehow) where you can buy rubber bands of different widths for more or less resistance. (Hint: if you buy 20 instead of 1, the price per unit goes down drastically.) Overall, this is a great book and a great method for getting in shape and staying in shape.

Nice package; Nice workout; But Rough Bands
I got this book to extend my rubber resistance training. It's the only book on the topic I found at Amazon at the time. I was interested in the book but when it came and I saw the 2 small blue rubber bands attached, I was happy that it was an inclusive package. You didn't have to go out to buy the exercise equipment now that you had the book. I tried out much of the exercises and they do feel good. However, the rubber band feels harsh in my hand after a while and I have to do the exercises with my exercise gloves so I don't burn or chafe...

Fun Efficient Resistance Band Exercises
You don't need a dvd to do this exercise program. Once you learn the moves for the different body parts, you're good to go. Interesting to see how Tamilee looked so many years ago, too. You will need continuous loop resistance bands, altho the exercises could be done with single length bands that you tie to fit, but that's a pain. You can get the bands from SPRI here on Amazon. Simple and effective.

No band
I had to buy a band to do the workout. But now I like it a lot. It is a change from what I am used to.
