Are all fitness resistance bands the same?
I recently started p90x and decided I would prefer to use resistance bands rather than the dumbbells and pull up bar. I was wondering if some brands of resistance bands were better than others, or are they pretty much all the same? Also, I do not know the “pounds” of resistance I should buy… should I go for the normal weight increments I typically use when working out at the gym? Also, where is a good place to buy them, cheap?
Thanks so much.

Hi A.Jo,
No, not all resistance bands are the same. Here’s a comparison of the different types of resistance bands. I highly recommend the Bodylastics bands.
Also, here is a free download you can get to learn how to combine the various bands to get custom resistance levels.
The PX90 workouts are awesome. Here’s an additional resource for you for free daily workouts for bands.
