If you're looking for an unbiased Cando resistance bands review, then please take a moment to read this entire article because this is the information that you been looking for and may very well save you some money.

We all want to burn fat and get a strong, ripped body, but sometimes we are too hasty with our decisions on workout equipment. In this review we will talk about the Cando resistance bands and what they offer as well as some other alternatives you may not know about.

Here's a short list of what you get when you purchase these fitness tubes.

This product is available in approximately 7 different colors. Each color typically would signify a different level of tension however, according to their website there is no information regarding how much tension each color tube provides. In our opinion, this is a major flaw or disadvantage because the individual user will not be able to determine exactly how much resistance he or she is using, and therefore has no idea of his strength gains.

When it comes to advantages the only visible one is that they are low in cost. Particularly the lighter resistance or thinner bands. The product sells for just over $19 and can range as high as over $60. Each individual resistance strip has its own pricing structure. In order to build a complete home gym you would have to purchase multiple strips of the elastic as well as purchase handles. While in the beginning this product may appear to be cheaper than some of its competitors once you add in having to purchase handles, a door anchors, ankle straps, it doesn't seem so inexpensive after all. Furthermore, the product does not offer any type of replacement or defects warranty. This is very important when you take into consideration that all elastic tubing after a while will lose its tensile strength. Many of the top fitness product manufacturers offer some type of warrantee on their tubing. Some of the better ones offer a lifetime replacement warranty.

Now that you have an understanding of what you get when you purchase the Cando bands, let's explore some of the other manufacturers and what they offer you.

Bodylastics International

Ripcords

P90X bands or B lines resistance bands

These three manufacturers are in our opinion the best available online today.

Bodylastics bands are priced out from just under $49 and of course depending on how much resistance you need can run you as much as $129.95 for their mega resistance system. Their basic tension XT system starts out at $45.95 and offers approximately 88 lbs. of tension. The system is fine for most people however, they do offer other systems like the Max tension 134 pounds, super strong man 254 pounds, and mega resistance 388 pounds of tension. So whether you're a beginner or advanced bodybuilder they have a product to fill your needs. Furthermore, one of the best advantages that this product provides is the ability to attach up to 7 tubes to one exercise handle. This allows you to perform more than 140 gym type exercises. All of the companies exercise systems come with a replacement warranty. Consequently, if any other component should ever break, crack or snap they will replace them for you for a small replacement charge. All their systems come with access to their online video what training website, a door anchor, ankle straps, training manual and you can even purchase an exercise DVD.

The Ripcords offer up to 90 pounds of tension, have packages that offer a DVD, or can be ordered with just the bands by themselves. They do provide you with an exercise manual, warranty, and money back guarantee.

The P90X bands, as you may have seen on TV, are normally used with the P90X program, but can also be used by themselves very effectively. These tubes are very similar to the Ripcords in that you cannot attach multiple tubes to one handle. They can provide you up to 82 pounds of tension, are priced similarly to the Ripcords and Bodylastics systems however, they do not provide any kind of defects or replacement warranty.

This wraps up our short review of the Cando resistance bands, I hope you choose the right set of strength bands that you feel fit you best.
