I bought this to help me exercise while recovering from an injury which kept me from my usual routine. I didn't expect much from some elastic bands.  However, I found that I actually really like this product.  I use it every day at work and at home.  I hook up the band under my desk at work and workout my legs while sitting at my desk.  At home I get a very good, full body workout. I like the handles and the ankle band... I only wish it came with two ankle bands.  I don't suppose there is much difference between brands but, after using it every day for about a month now, I have to say this product is exactly what I was looking for.
