So I'm in Week 4 of P90X and I'm realizing my one set of 8lb dumbbells and one light band is not cutting it. I want to get more equipment, but money's tight. I can get 3 bands at target for $20, whereas it will cost me at least $50 to just get a 5 lb and 12lb set of dumbbells. Which leads to my question....
For those of you who use P90X, did you find that the bands worked? How many different levels of resistance did you end up using? Also, I don't have a pull up bar, and with the light resistance band I have those exercises don't feel like they're working AT ALL....do I need a pull up bar, or will a heavy band work?
I'm finding mixed answers online so I thought I'd check here. I'm just trying to tone, not build muscle. I'd rather save $ and buy the bands, but I don't want to waste my money if they won't work well. Thanks!
