Good Starter Kit
This package is a good starter bundle for those new to resistance training.The kit contains a skipping rope, which looks like this one; https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08DTKGFKD.It's a lightweight rope with wire core, a simple ball bearing (to stop the handle from fraying) - there is some degree of friction compared to the thin wire speed ropes - but way less than ropes with no bearings. The length of the rope is quick and easy to adjust. The light weight does result in some deflection by uneven ground or wind, so be prepared to jump slightly higher. It is quite useful for warming up, better than the cheap stuff on eBay and perfectly usable.There are assorted bands of various tensions, all marked, with carabiner clips to attach them to the plastic handles. They're very useful if you don't have a variety of dumbbells, or don't want to take them apart each time you need to change the weight.I found the most practical way to use them was to attach several bands to the handles, and pick the combination you want to use when you stand on them, for such exercises as rowing, lateral raises, curls, etc; leaving the unused ones to hang free. This means you don't waste time changing the bands.There are also some ankle straps, which attach with velcro - I would probably keep these on from the start if you intend to use them during a workout, to save time.A set of handles with elastic in between is provided which can be used to aid in stretching, if assistance is needed in flexibility training, as well as the five resistance loops, which are useful for stamina training in cases where the resistance bands are too long, or don't provide enough resistance over a smaller range of motion.Finally, the door anchor can be used as a fixing point for the bands, for doing prone or sitting exercises, though I'd suggest a sturdy door frame before attaching all 5 bands.Everything can be packed up in the bag provided, with a separate bag for the resistance loops, so the contents doesn't have to be left strewn around your living room.The kit has a few leaflets on what kind of exercises you can do, which is a nice touch, though it cannot teach technique or safety, so for those new to exercising, it would be useful to get some advice and training and perhaps a workout routine to follow beforehand.Highly recommended, as long as you use it.

Great set for home workouts
This super cool Ikare Resistance band set arrives boxed and includes a skipping rope, handles, door anchor, stretch band, thigh bands and a drawstring bag for easy storage. The strengths of bands are colour coded with the colours being pastel and gorgeous. They all feel really durable and well made. The bands are thick and stretchy, not springy.The door anchor, handles and ankle straps have the same strong and long lasting feel. The grip is good too, so no slipping.I ordered this set for my home workouts during lockdown whilst I can’t gym. They are also great for when I want to do weights instead of runs or when the weather isn’t good enough to get out.I can double up on bands for a heavier workout. They are so versatile with regards to working different parts of the body. They are easy to get out, have a quick session and pack away without fuss.A great set at a good price. I’m really impressed with the look, feel and functionality of these. I recommend.

Good quality resistance bands
Resistance bands are great exercise aids, especially for use at home where they can actually provide very close approximations to the effects of gym machines.This set follows the common route of providing 5 bands in weights from 10 to 50lbs as well as the usual door anchor, handles and ankle straps. There is a vey basic instruction book, but I have found that there are a lot more exercise guides on the internet.This set does include a pack of the other type of resistance bands (think very thick and wide elastic bands) which are a useful addition to the workout kit, There is also a figure of eight shaped resistance device that can provide an other type of exercise.

A lot of choice to choose from, provides a guide book to start you off
I am absolutely loving this one package! The fact that it included a guide book, made me much more open to different exercises that I did not even know about! It has so many different equipment that I am able to choose to either do cardio with the skipping rope and low resistance bands or weight training with the higher resistance band. Honestly, at first I was slightly overwhelmed by the choice but by using the guide book, it made it so much clearer! It is just perfect with the amount of choice you get, doubt I will go back to the gym once it opens, I've got everything at home now!
