I always wanted to try a set of bands, and finally got the chance when I found this set. These are great, and even for someone a little technically challenged, they're easy to set up. There's a strap with a larger end, and you put the larger end in between a door to anchor you. Then you just put whichever strength band you'd like through the strap, and you're set to start training! A nifty little exercise booklet comes with the set, and it's an excellent workout. I can't wait to integrate it into my regular workout, as you can use these to train so many different body areas that you can kiss using machines at a the gym goodbye. Not to mention that since the bands allow you to weight train while moving more naturally (unlike machines, which have you doing the same motion again and again), these are also safer to use than the machines. I also get to avoid the unpleasant testosterone-poisoned jerks at my gym and weight train at home, which is always a plus. :)
