Can use these cords for all kinds of workouts; arms, legs, abs, core . . . easy to attach to just about any pole or sturdy structure of the like. I'm 5'4'', 135 lbs and the heavy resistance could be heavier, but can be adjusted to fit my needs (choke up on excess cord). Handles are smooth plastic, not cushioned or lined with grip material.
We use these at the Track for a Conditioning class. The gals just love them! Easy to hook to the fence, work out and then store back in their bag.SwimOutlet shipped these right out in time for the first class. Yea!
