    This is such a great tool for strengthening the ankles and working on your arches. I would start out with heavy though.

    I have not done Theraband foot strengthening exercises until now, but bought Heavy weight based on reviews. Yes, it's the right one! Good resistance. Easy to use.

    STURDY

    I had to get a thicker resistance theraband because my feet have become too strong for my old one. This band provides a nice challenge for my feet and is sturdy enough to last a long time. Will definitely buy again.

    VERY HELPFUL FOR FEET STRENGTHENING!

    The band helped me a LOT for helping my feet become stronger. However, it did hurt my toes when I was using it. But I do have ingrown toenails, so it shouldn't hurt the toes of people who do not have ingrown toenails. This product is great! I recommend it to anyone who dances.

    VERY HELPFUL

    I decided to buy this band to increase strength and flexibility in my ankles in arches. I was very happy in all the exercises I was able to do with it not only with my feet and ankles, but with other body parts also. I bought it along with my foot stretcher and use it daily. I highly recommend it!

    Love this band! Provides support and perfect tension to work through demi pointe and pointe. Can be used on any part of the body. I just ordered lots of them for my ballet stretch class to help improve turnout, metatarsal strength and leg extensions

    MY FAVORITE EXERCISE BAND

    The material has good traction, and sticks to the foot a lot better than most exercise bands. I've bought many others but I always go back to this one.

I have been dancing for 3 months only and this resistance band works great! if you really want to go on pointe, then you definitely need ot buy this for strengthening and stretching your feet!!! overall, this product is good for preparing pointe work!!

    GREAT FOR STREGTH TRAINING

    I love this band because it helps strengthen ankles, calves, and even toes. Great for beginner pointe girls! I will be teaching a strength training class in August and will be using these bands to teach women and girls how to achieve ballet strong feet, ankles, and legs. Thanks so much for providing such a great product!

    PERFECT FOOT EXERCISE

    This is a great strong product. After 2 week of constantly using it, my feet were much more stronger and more flexible, it also improved my instep a little bit. Great product from bunheads. The only thing to say is that you might want the super heavy weight for a stronger exercise.

    NICE EXERCISE BAND

    This band is really awesome! It's 4 feet long, dark blue-purple with the Bunheads logo printed every 4 inches or so. It's the perfect weight, not too heavy and not too light. If you want more resistance, you can just pull it tighter. It comes with a little paper with some exercises you could do, but I didn't find it very useful. And it does smell a bit rubbery, but I expect it will fade eventually.

    TWIST!

    once i finish using it, the exercise band is always twisted and it's very difficult to untangle it! does anyone have any tips on how to avoid this??

    EXCELLENT!

    This is a great weight. The band is durable and strong while still very flexible. I only wish Bunheads had color variety and didn�t plaster their logo all over the band. Still--great buy and great tool for every dancer!

    GOOD ITEM

    I bought these from DDS about 2 weeks ago and I really do like it. It doesn't rip easily, and the heavy is the perfect weight. It has already helped me with making my ankles stronger after using it for 2 weeks daily. Just point and flex your feet 20 times once or twice a day and you should see an improvement. Highly recommend to all dancers!

    GREAT PRODUCT!

    I bought the heavy weight unsure whether it would be the right strength for me, but it was perfect! The only thing lacking would be that it smells pretty horrible.

    AWESOME!!!

    This product is one of the best things that I have ever bought. I love it. I use it for my feet and my arms and I am starting to see improvements in both. My arms look way more muscular and the strength of my feet as well as my arches are improving. If you use everyday it will work wonders. Your calf muscles even get stronger. Best buy. Great product!!!

    GREAT FOR STRETCHING!

    My dance teacher introduced me to these and I fell in love with them. I'm the kind of person who takes a while to stretch to get my full splits. But, with these in about 5-10 minutes, it gave me a great stretch! This resistance is great for people who want something not too heavy but not too light. I love to use this to warm-up my ankles before my pointe class. All around great product and worth the money!

    Wonderful! After I was in a car accident, I lost a lot of strength in my left ankle, due to having to sit out of class. I bought this and did exercises with my ankle, and strength was back in no time. I highly recommend getting one of these.

    is this good for girls who havent started pointe?

    I really want to get on pointe this season, which of these would you recommend to get me on pointe fastest?

    This item is a great tool for strengthening. We would recommend starting with the Medium resistance, which is style number BH511.

    Yes this band will help strengthen the leg muscles necessary for pointe work. - Kaceykat (02/04/2014)

    this one is great for pre-pointe! i want to go on pointe too and this seemed like a great thing, its perfect and comes with a book of mini exercises, if you this about every night by flexing and pointing your foot and and working on each toe individually you will get there! - Vero (03/04/2014)

    I recommend the heavy weight band. At first I thought it might be too strong, but it was perfect! I bought this to achieve the same goal and just 2 weeks after using this along with my foot stretcher my teacher said she noticed improvement in my ankle strength and foot flexibility. I am expecting to take pre-pointe classes this upcoming season. So yes! it really does help! :) - Versatiledancer (08/03/2014)
