If you Have a Gym Source store near you check them out. Go in clothes you can work out in, play on all the machines and talk to the guys. It's always fun there. Anyway, they will probably give you a discount off retail on the bands and they will be better and cheaper than the "golds gym" type stuff. Yes, I learned this the hard way. They usually have 5 or 6 different weights of bands are run (after discount) between $9-$12. I had 3 of the Walmart bands together when I started with Power 90 (I couldn't do P90X to start with) and replace them with one of the red bands from Gym Source and it was much better. If you don't have one of these stores nearby call around other gym supply companies but avoid the big box stores if you can. While you are there check out the PowerBlock adjustable dumbbells if you don't already have a set of dumbbells, make for fast changeovers between exercises. I much prefer dumbbells to bands now that I've progressed on to P90X. Keep Pushing Play! If you are looking to buy bands I would recomend against the target/wallmart type.

I am sure you will love the variety of workouts. You won't need your dumbbells until day 3. If you do not have any check craigslist. I found a pretty good deal there.
