For my wife and I together to do this together, will I need the additional set of resistance bands on Amazon (red, magenta, pink)?

The set comes with 3 bands but one set of handles the bands attach too. So either an additional set of bands or the handles

I bought mine from wal-mart. They're the tube like ones with handles. You could adapt with any resistance band, really.

The weight is distributed to each side of the band; i.e. holding one end of an 8lb band in each hand gives you 8lbs of resistence in one hand and 8lbs in the other. To get the full weight of each resistance band (96 lbs total) you have to hold both ends of a band together.

My wife and I both used the water rower with no problem. The resistance is not as important as the duration of the workout. I would adjust the amount of water so that your wife feels that it is ok for her and then you will probably find that by increasing your time on the rower you will get a great workout.

You don't use the included resistance band until Beta cycle but i kind of hated the band. I liked using dumbbells way better. In the videos there is only one guy with the resistance band and everyone else is using dumbbells. I think a mat would be good on hard surfaces but probably not that great on carpet. I didn't use one at all.

No. I didn't buy anything extra. It comes with a resistance band, and that's pretty much all you need.

Have the green, the description says the yellow is 5-10 lbs. you can increase the resistance by shortening up on the bands so I'm not sure how accurate that is.

Just go with your own fitness level. I generally use a medium one but on some of the moves a stronger one offers more resistance. However, on some of the moves you really have to stretch the band to the limit and the medium works great !!!! I tried with a stronger one but it was too tight and required too much effort. I couldn't get the stronger one to stretch enough to effectively perform the move.

It come with a pamphlet that shows some different exercises. If the pamphlet does not offer enough variety you can do a search for "resistance bands" on YouTube and a slew of videos will populate so you can actually see the person performing the exercise and follow along. Hope this helps.

If you combine all 3 bands it will provide 250 pounds of resistance or assistance. I have ordered 2 sets of these bands for my gym so far and love them - will definitely be ordering more.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my Pilates Power Gym Pro; however, I will have to increase the resistant bands. For me the extension is not an issue, I would look at the dimensions to determine if you will e able to get the maximum length needed to get the most resistance. For me that is not an issue.

You might get it to work if the resistance bands have nylon webbing on them the same width as the Jungle Gym XT straps. But the problem you may run into (as alluded to by Becky Coffield) is that if you don't keep continuous pressure on the straps, they might be able to work their way out of the wall mounts.

Hi, MittI do not have the bands. They were a gift for my girlfriend. I can ask her. I reckon one way is to tie a knot in them. Watching the P90X videos, they do two things: stand farther away if you have the band attached to a doorway, etc., or if standing on the band to do curls, etc., adjust the amount of the loop on the floor under your foot. Someone said that you can pull the band through the handle and there is a round thing in the handle that will hold it. This does not quite make sense to me. As I recall, there is a thing in the end of the rubber band that holds it in place. I am so sorry that I do not have more info for you, Mitt.ron Hi, MittI do not have the bands.

maybe a mat if you don't have one already, I bought this used and it didn't come with a resistance band but if you are buying it new it will have one.

my wife thinks it will work -- i'm not so sure but it costs very little to find out. The bands are very stretchy and strong -- so it has a chance at least.
