what level of resistance (lbs) are these red bands
460556
Each red band is 40lb, so if you have 3 installed then you have 120lb resistance. Pull the middle one out and you have 80lb resistance, etc.

There are lighter resistance, more flexible bands in the set which would be good. However, I am not sure that you would need or want the entire set and purchasing some individual bands may be more helpful. Also, the set I got had metal carabiner rings to which you attached and detached a handle depending on desired resistance. That might be problematic. It would likely be better to get a single or even a set that has fixed handles for ease of use/transition between resistances. Stay active!

Yes, you can change the resistance. The resistance bands come in different weights (I believe it starts at 2.5 lbs and each band is graded from Level 4 to Level 9. Each level represents an increase in resistance of approximately 2.5 pounds compared to the previous level. Level 5 is standard equipment that came with my chair. I purchased the other levels all in one package). I love this chair! It has helped tremendously with my flexibility and stretching. I am not stiff all the time like I used to be (especially after sitting for long periods of time at work). I actually take a band to work with me and use my feet to hold it down. I work alone on third shift as a helpdesk rep. I highly recommend this chair!

They do not sell them separate as far as I can tell. I didn't want the resistance bands but I got them anyway. FYI-the shocks on this thing blew out on me after eight months. I weigh 140 lbs. and used it four days per week. Didn't seem like it lasted long enough.

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.

You can use any size up to about an inch. Weight is more important as too much weight will overwhelm the bands.

"Thera-Band® Pro Series Exercise Balls have been tested to support 1000 pounds of static (resting) weight. Thera-Band Standard Exercise Balls can support 600 pounds of static weight." According to http://www.thera-bandacademy.com/faq-category.aspx?faqID=604

You probably already have your answer, but, to set the record straight, each band has 40 pounds of resistance. So, they would have a combined 40, 80 or 120 pounds of resistance - giving a lot of flexibility.

I'm not sure. The bands were a present for my girlfriend, she loves to varying tensions, had bands from physical therapy but they were nowhere near as good!

In the instructions page included with the set, it shows about 25-35 pounds for each band. I double stack them, so it is the equivalent of 50-65 pounds. I started using these because free weights were hurting my neck and they work very well.

The bands are not very long. They are about a foot long and circular. They are great bands. They are very hardy, not flimsy at all! They have held up well and not broken yet. They are used daily by my teen for physical therapy. I a very impressed by how they are holding up.

The lowest setting of 1 has almost no resistance. I start on 5 and move to 10 which has a lot of resistance. I am 48 with average strength and conditioning.

" the purple band provides 25 to 30 pounds of resistance, the navy band offers 30 to 35 pounds, and the brown band delivers 35 to 40 pounds. " Those numbers seem to match my experience in using the bands.

The resistance of this band depends upon how tightly or loosely it is tied. The bigger the loop, the lighter the resistance.
