Takes a little bit to get used to their look, but they cost less than the Bowflex, are more compact, and seem to be made much sturdier. I see your on LI guy and there are a few places on the Island that sell them.

I'll continue to use the dumbells that are in our exercise room downstairs, but the bands are for the pull up stuff exclusively. I was about to click on 'order' for the bands and then I decided to check Modells and Sports Authority's website to find heavy duty bands for like $13! No brainer and I don't have to wait a week to get them when I need them tomorrow! Needless to say I have to stop on the way home.
PS: Wellsie....thanks for the encouragement! It has been hard work and a lot of dedication and I aint even half way through!!!
