I really, really don't like the resistance band. I just did Tone 30 while using dumbbells. I started with the resistance band, but it was just awkward and I wasn't feeling challenged at all. How about you? Do you like the resistance band?

  • I prefer dumb bells too! I don't mind the band but I feel like dumb bells gives a better workout. What size weights are you using?

    I don't like the bands either. I only use hand weights for both Sculpt 30 and Tone 30. I agree with you, it's so ackward and I wasn't feeling challenged either. You're not alone!

    I used 5lb dumbbells until my bands arrived and definitely prefer the bands for Core, Sculpt & Tone. I got a lot more out of the exercises using the bands. I do not like using the bands for CLX though. I was too lazy to dig out all my big weights when I started mixing in CLX classes the other day so I used the band - it was horrible.
