What is the resistance band pound weight resistance? I want to buy some more resistance bands, but I can't tell what this band's resistance is.

Hello there,I have the Chalean Extreme and it doesn't give you the band resistance weight. All I can say that it's a light/medium weight resistance. For more resistance, I would buy a heavier band. I hope this gives you better idea about the resistance band that comes with Chalean Extreme.

The resistance of this band depends upon how tightly or loosely it is tied. The bigger the loop, the lighter the resistance.

Pick the color which is related to the amount of resistance you want in the band. You will receive one roll of the color you chose. The roll is a bulk roll, that you cut into the lengths you need

They do not sell them separate as far as I can tell. I didn't want the resistance bands but I got them anyway. FYI-the shocks on this thing blew out on me after eight months. I weigh 140 lbs. and used it four days per week. Didn't seem like it lasted long enough.

You probably already have your answer, but, to set the record straight, each band has 40 pounds of resistance. So, they would have a combined 40, 80 or 120 pounds of resistance - giving a lot of flexibility.

not weight but resistance...you will see when you get your own pair...wonder why it took you so long to find them, use them! Strengths muscles for sure, there is a difference when I don't use them, I feel I get twice the workout with the foot gear. I also bought 'floaties' for even extra resistance...great non-impact exercise!

The weight ratings can be found using the link below: https://beachbody.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/260/kw/resistance%20bands/~/resistance-bands---weight My P90X3 kit came with orange (25 lbs), yellow (35 lbs) and blue (45 lbs) resistance bands.

I use 5 pounds. The average test is to go to the store and see how many reps you can do with a weight. If you can easily do 15, then go to a higher weight that will challenge you. If you have to push yourself to get the last 2-3 reps, then that's a good weight for you.

Don't know answer to question. I like the bands and multiple bands give extra resistance. Would not know how to measure full length of stretch. Guess 3 people could measure full length -- 2 to stretch and one to measure.

Although it is a good product and well made, it may not be enough resistance for you. I use the black band with ease (the strongest band in the set). If you are doing P90x, then you must be quite strong and fit. For a person just starting to exercise and just starting resistive training who's strength is low then there would be room to grow with these bands, but if you have decent strength, then the bands may be too easy for you. Just on the fact you are male and 6' 1" probably means you are pretty strong. I'm sure there must be stronger ones out there, but I would want to check them out at a store to make sure the resistance was hard enough for me. I also bought dumbbells after the bands. I like those because I can use the exact weight I want to lift. The down side is they are a bit expensive and take up more room. They do make adjustable dumbbells which takes up less space. In summary I think the bands would be good for a person who's strength is not great. If a person is pretty strong then I would be hesitant to recommend them because they may be to easy. And if your strength is at a moderate level, you may progress or grow out of them quickly. Good luck Lone Cowboy! Karen

There are lighter resistance, more flexible bands in the set which would be good. However, I am not sure that you would need or want the entire set and purchasing some individual bands may be more helpful. Also, the set I got had metal carabiner rings to which you attached and detached a handle depending on desired resistance. That might be problematic. It would likely be better to get a single or even a set that has fixed handles for ease of use/transition between resistances. Stay active!

Yes, you can change the resistance. The resistance bands come in different weights (I believe it starts at 2.5 lbs and each band is graded from Level 4 to Level 9. Each level represents an increase in resistance of approximately 2.5 pounds compared to the previous level. Level 5 is standard equipment that came with my chair. I purchased the other levels all in one package).I love this chair! It has helped tremendously with my flexibility and stretching. I am not stiff all the time like I used to be (especially after sitting for long periods of time at work). I actually take a band to work with me and use my feet to hold it down. I work alone on third shift as a helpdesk rep. I highly recommend this chair! Yes, you can change the resistance.

I got everything except the added resistance bands. I really don't use them, so it was an issue for me.

No it's not. Also, "resistance" is not how I would describe the arm movement as there are no adjustments. So it is a forward movement and I shift my hands to create "resistance." I am considering getting some 5 lb hand weights (attached with Velcro to help).

Have the green, the description says the yellow is 5-10 lbs. you can increase the resistance by shortening up on the bands so I'm not sure how accurate that is.

Each red band is 40lb, so if you have 3 installed then you have 120lb resistance. Pull the middle one out and you have 80lb resistance, etc.

When working with rubber bands you are working with resistance... if you wanted to do a workout utilizing all the bands together (attached to the rings on the hand grips) you would be working with an equivalency of 71 lbs, but the bands are all assigned a different "weight". The actual shipping weight of the whole package is 3.8 lbs. These by the way are absolutely FANTASTIC, the best quality I've ever seen in bands and we are delighted with them.

On the back of the scale there is a button labeled kg/st/lb. Pressing that button cycles through the three different units of measure. Enjoy.
