I'd like to get these bands. Amazon has 4 options: each with a set of 3 different tensions, but each set has different lengths. Would one get one set, and which length is best? Or would more than one set be needed? They range from around 3 feet long to 6 feet.
Hi Deborah, Great question! Resistance of the band generally increases a) as the diameter increases or b) as the color gets darker. With that being said, wider bands or darker ones (for example blue) tend to give more resistance compared to thinner or lighter colors (yellow for example). The length does not matter so much as you can always cut the band to adjust it to the length you need for the specific exercise you are performing.
