Are these resistance bands long or short? I prefer long, as my current set has both and I can't find much use for the short ones.

If I stand on any of these bands, I can pull them above my head - I'm average height. I'm not familiar with any other type, but all 5 bands are the same length, and were recommended to me by my friend.

I am not at home to measure. However, these bands are not as long as the BeachBody p90x bands. They are actually kind of short in relation to other bands I have seen. I have had no issues though with the fact that they are shorts. I could only see it being an issue if you were standing on the band and doing tricep presses, the length may be an issue there.

No they aren't long enough, they are used for pedal to pedal. Daisy chain effects.

If you have never used a resistance band or resistance cable... for me the best kind to use are the tube designed ones with handles. It really comes in handy when you are rowing. I have used the type of resistance band that does not have a handle and it can be a bit difficult when wrapping the band around your feet to row (the kind with the handles come in handy). The resistance level is your choice. I will just say that it will be important to have a starting point, but if you stick with this exercise and diet program... by the end of the week you will be able to use heavier weights and resistance bands too! My first week I lost 6.5 lbs! I am thrilled thus far with my results. I hope this information helps you!

I want I say there was a small one. It's been a while since I bought it. You can google exercises to do with these specific bands

These are more suited to Australian type pull ups. I have more training to do before I can do at least 10 standard type pull ups, so I got these and use them in the Australian format. I'm getting stronger and plan on using the in the door frame type bar then. If you get these hoping to sort of have a set of rings attached to the wall, you may be wishing you could shorten them by 10 ft, they really aren't meant for that. You MAY be able to tie a knot close to the handle to achieve that, but then it would weaken the webbing.

Both long and short socket sets are available. I bought both sets for mine because you never know.

My mother doesn't like the long ones so my father uses them rather than waste them. He said they work just fine. He doesn't like the short ones, but my mother prefers them.

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

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.

Hey Martha...I use them everyday w multiple clients and they have kept up their tension thus far. I've purchased bands in the past and these so far have been the best I've worked with. Hope this helps

I use them just like weights in the gym. They are awesome. I love them. Good luck.

Depends on the frequency of use. They're really light weight, so if you're looking for excersize they'll be a little lacking. Try getting a heavier set.

Don't think it's a matter of how short you can adjust them to..........they are long and can be used that way or shorten them up a lot, BUT, the grips do not hold and I have ended up using a safety pin and fastening them to the seam of the mattress pad......then they do what I want them to do.....hold the mattress pad snug.

I have the Powerblocks. They are quick to change weights and actually better on many exercises than the bowflex or similiar systems since they are about 4 inches shorter. I had another style of expanding weights and hated the way the ends would hit each other on shoulder exercises. No issues with the Powerblocks for me.

The bands are about 10-10.5 inches in length each. Hope this helps and I apologize for the delay.

I am a medium-built woman and I found it too easy. They don't have much resistance at all. As pointed out by another person, they are not marked, there is no scale mentioned. And I suspect they will loosen up too after some use. I returned the pair I bought.I guess, it depends on what you are looking for - something simple for mild exercise of your hands, or something 'tighter' for a good exercise.
