Frank Frog Ballet Stretch Band Gymnastics Exercise Band & Kinetic Band for Dance — Latex Training Band for Injury Prevention & Improved Stretching — Great for Cheerleading, Tumbling & Martial Arts

I just received my stretch band in the mail and I already love it. I am a dancer so the heavy resistance works great for me. Some reviews I read expressed frustration about not receiving instructions with the band. I already knew some of the basics on how to use it, but I did a quick search on pinterest and found quite a few helpful pictures and articles. This will definitely be a good tool for me to help improve my flexibility, strength and form.*UPDATE*My stretch band died this year. I was using it and it snapped. I still loved it and maybe there was something I should have done to take care of it better or stored it properly. It did last 4 years though. It doesn't change my rating, just thought I'd update how long it lasts.

I am a ballet dancer and I bought the band a few months ago. I waited until I had the opportunity to work the use of the band into my daily stretching routine so that I could give an accurate review. I haven't been able to see the results of my flexibility just yet. I had to watch a few youtube videos to find out how to use the band correctly. I wasn't aware of the stretch band instructions until today when I came across other reviews. I was looking to purchase another band but I really want to see if maybe I should give this band another try or repurchase is again since I feel like the one I have now isn't working. I don't know but I am on the market to find a good ballet stretch band. I was hoping this one would be the one.

I'm thinking I may have accidently ordered the band with most resistance. I'm a 42 year old WELL trained and practiced pole fitness instructor/dancer....I damn near have to perform a contortionist act to get this band where it needs to be to work on Split stretches, it's also QUITE PAINFUL on my lower back to the point I'm trying to shove a towel between my back and the band (which requires even more skill). It actually cuts off the circulation when it's around my feet. It's going to take some getting used to, and I'll just start ignoring my pain receptors. 😑 Also, it came with no instructions....had to Google images of others using it, or, if you like pre-adolescents giving instructions in....YouTube has a few vids too.

I love this band. As a 30-year-old wannabe ballerina, it is a great addition to my stretching routine. I will warn you, however, the straddle splits hurt around the back as you get into the splits and out of them. Despite that, I love it. I also loved the emails that came with the product. Not only were they useful, they were friendly. It says a lot about a company that tries to build connection with its customer actively.

It is tricky to "saddle up" for a 33 year old beginner. It does stretch you out tho! In a week, I've noticed improvement. I wish there was a short video with it. The ebook was helpful, but i wasnt sure if i was turning into a graceful swan or about to lose an eye at one point.Overall its a nice resistance, size, quality, and does the job!

I am a Yoga practitioner and wanted to use this to get get more flexibility. My main goal is try to get to a straddle over split. I can do a front back split already. and I can do a Turtle pose. Once I have it in the position, I don't think it generate enough pressure to pull my legs back. So I have to manually pull it back and can't have enough pulling strength to pull my legs back automatically...Granted I'm a 190 lb guy. instead of a 100 lb ballerina.

Can not say how much I love this band. Originally ordered out of curiousity but use it all the time. I love it so much I have almost all my advanced clients purchase the same band. We use it for flexibility, mobility, stregth training as well as for aiding in advance technique and body placement exercise. It is the strongest we have tried, being able to resist 2 people inside the bands at the hips who are creating opposition. Definitely recommend this everyone!

I bought this for my ten year old dancer daughter. She's been stretching like mad with it since she got it Christmas day. She is happy with the functionality and when she went in for dance today her teacher commented on how she was seemed primed and ready to go vs the other dancers seeming 'stiffened up' from not dancing. So far she's getting lots of use out of it and deriving benefit. We'll see if she keeps using it over time but I think she will!
