Long Resistance Tube By maryelser on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
My son purchased a Long Resistance Tube by Athletic Works at Walmat last week. He likes to fool around with exercising and lifting weights. I say fooling around because he is like me, he likes the idea of having a buff body but gets tired of working for it!
It is made with a 54" professioal quality resistance tube, nylon handles and thick padded grips. The handles seem sturdy enough and the padded grips were more comfortable than I thought they would be. It claims on the box that with just 15 minutes a day of resistance tube training you can transform your body.
Now, I don't know about transforming my body (though it would be a pleasant surprise to wake up one morning looking like one of the girls off of Bay Watch!) but when I did about 16 reps of three exercises with the resistance tube, I could feel both my triceps and biceps burning.
Included in the box is a sheet with about 10 different exercises and I would list what they are but it mysteriously disappeared. So instead, I am listing a few exercises that I know you can do with them. They are: single arm row, seated row. reverse fly and a back pulldown. There are also leg exercises you can do with the resistance tube.

Now this sounds like a great exercising tool! I don't know if 15 minutes a day could transform someone's body, but I believe any exercise is beneficial. It looks like a great idea!
This would be a great travel exercise piece. I think these are great...I have some myself!
Thanks for sharing this information. Sometimes the simple exercise products work the best.
This Sounds Like A Great Product For Getting Fit! Thanks For Sharing!
Interesting, esp. for the price! great job!
That is a great price but I am hard to motivate especially since my back surgery :( but this sounds like it could work.
For that price, I might have to give it a try!
15 minutes per day to transform my body? Where do I sign up? I'm going to look into this at Walmart. Sounds like I can't loose much on the price so it might be worth a try.
Love the product and love the price more...so cheap and yet can do so many types of exercises with it.
