Why is this a good deal?

These resistance bands rarely go on sale. At $14, we're talking under $3 a band. When you think about that compared to the price of other fitness equipment, this is a total steal.

Why do I need this?

The best way to form a consistent exercise routine is to make it as easy as possible on yourself to work out. The Sports Research Sweet Sweat Mini Loop Resistance Bands are beyond simple to use: Just whip them out to ramp up your workout resistance whenever you want, and put them away when you're done. Squats, lunges, yoga, Pilates — these bands help with all of these. You can even kick leg lifts up a notch with these, and use them for physical therapy at home.

These rubber resistance bands come in five levels: light, medium, heavy, X-heavy and XX-heavy, so you can swap them out as you get stronger or for different moves. They're color-coded and clearly labeled, too, to make it easy to see at a glance which resistance level you're getting.

The set of five bands — which comes in pretty multicolor and neutral tone options — also comes with a carrying bag for easy storage and travel.

What reviewers say

Some resistance bands can stretch out over time, but reviewers swear these are just as stretchy with repeat use. "Best resistance bands ever," shared a fan. "Strong and still works."

A fellow happy customer shared that the Sports Research bands are "wide enough and sturdy enough to stay in place." They added, "I’ve had flimsier ones in the past that twisted on your legs as soon as you started exercising. These are very well made for active exercise."

The bands are also "perfect" for home gyms and "great for at-home workouts," a five-star reviewer said.

"I can't believe I waited so long to try resistance bands!" shared a fan, but added a caveat. "If you have wider thighs like my wife you may want to find a band that rolls less, but that's our only complaint. None have snapped even with hard use. There's good progression in the sizes. Overall a really great buy."

This sale is just for today. Add to your home fitness arsenal and save $5 while it lasts.
